Brother Arthur’s doubt isn’t just him simply being an questioning authority figure. If we’ve learned anything from the last chapter, it’s that he’s an extremely understanding individual. However, as the author of this comic, I’ll be the first to admit that two siblings both being gay is fairly unlikely. It’s not impossible, I know, but the statistical likelihood is actually quite slim. From his perspective, Maria being a lesbian (especially when she’s been “going out” with a guy like Gavin for almost two years), is almost completely implausible to him.
The choice words he refers to at the end, are of course, “flaming dyke”. Technically, that’s a derogatory term for a lesbian. The irony is that in this environment, it’s frowned upon to be gay, but you still can’t go around potentially offending people who might be with that language (or offending people who have no reason to be offended by that language). Yes, it’s ridiculous, but yes, I can vouch for the realism on this account.

The language stuff is amusing. I live in the GRSM residential community at my university (yes, that is as amazing as that sounds). Our awesome RA agreed to let us do our own design for the bulletin board on our floor. Hers was totally boring, but no need to tell her that. Our first idea was to make caution tape in various pride flag colours and write 'Beware the queers." Our hall director shot that down, because it apparently might be read as offensive. I sort of get where the HD was coming from, but also it was the queers that wanted the design. We ended up going with a board talking about pronouns in the trans flag colours though, so it was still pretty awesome.
