A social post and a follow up. The post shows a screengrab from the show, and the follow up shows the happy couple featured in it taking a selfie.

I love watching old episodes of Supermarket Sweep because these two just said they’re “business partners” who “design sets for plays” and I’m like oh I’m sure

Here we are! Just celebrated our 41st anniversary. Married in 2008 on our 25th anniversary as soon as it was legal in California. We ran a business together designing and painting backdrops and sets for 27 years.

    The actor IS the character. The character is the actor. They’re just normal people!

    It was a game show that took real people and let them play the game. They’d introduce them as Such & Such from Here & There. These two were obviously a gay couple but 90s TV wouldn’t acknowledge that. So they just said they were business partners who designed sets instead of saying they were a couple like they would anyone else.

    Then it turns out that one of the guys who was a contestant in the show someone replied to the Tweet saying “hey it me” and confirming that they were indeed a gay couple and have been happily married for decades.
