The word has multiple connotations.

In this context I mean "gay" as in homosexual, and not as in happy.

The word partner has multiple meanings.

I was referring to "partner."

I suppose it is entirely possible they were polyamorous.

Lol! Maybe, maybe not. None of my business. Idk if they even did say that. If they did, maybe it was because they partnered on difficult jobs and shareed gains and losses?

Good to "see" you. Hope you are well.
