I love how it’s, like, kind of implied that Gob has said and done so much gay stuff that it doesn’t even register to Michael anymore. Like, walking in on Gob when there’s a guy on his lap, the “Gary’s gay?…He’s gonna think I was coming onto him,” thing, Gob calling the Hot Cops hot(not in the sense of that being a part of the name), the homo much speech, Gob correcting Michael and saying “‘He’s’ don’t like to be called ‘she’s’” when Michael assumes who Gob is secretly dating is a girl, when Gob giddily talks about Tony’s beard tickling him, when he talks about Tony in general all of the time, etc, etc, I’m sure there are other instances(and I’m gonna assume just a lifetime of instances we weren’t shown). In these scenarios, Michael essentially gives no reaction. Half the time, you’d think he hadn’t noticed anything if it wasn’t for Gob being obvious to the point where it would be impossible to ignore or miss it; like literally saying that, no, the person I’m dating is a he, not a she. The only time Michael really reacted was when he realized Gob and Tony slept together and shouted “I knew it!”, and perhaps that was just from the surprise of Gob actually maybe finally coming to terms with being gay. But aside from that, he’s literally so desensitized to it.

I’d like to think that at one point, Michael and maybe Lindsay too, tried to talk to Gob about him being gay, at least in a vague, simply put, “We’ll accept you no matter what,” way, but he denied it and it’s been so long with him refusing to acknowledge it that they’ve given up and it’s become such a normalized facet of Gob that it’s not even something they react to anymore.

Gob’s being gay again? Business as usual.

Oeh absolutely,

He does say this when he sees the cinco tapes:

So I think it's mostly 'business as usual' because he has no time to react, because he's always so busy trying to save everyone lol
