Matt/Foggy: Nelson and Murdock vs. Heteronormativity

Guys, I love the Mistaken For A Couple trope. I love it to bits and pieces.

But in my personal experience, the opposite is more likely to happen if you're in a same-gender relationship - well-meaning straight people everywhere straight up ignoring that your relationship isn't platonic, no, really, we're dating, not best friends or roommates or whatever, aaaaaaaargh.


Give me Matt and Foggy as boyfriends (or hell, husbands) having to explain over and over that yes, they are law partners, but they are also partners-partners, thank you very much.
Give me nagging "friends" and family trying to convince bi! or pan!Foggy to leave his "gay phase" behind and find a nice girl to settle down with.
Give me Matt being secretly a little wary of what the people at his church will think when he brings Foggy over to mass (or something like that).
Give me Matt and Foggy dealing with homophobes, both of the subtle and the straight-forward and vicious kind, like potential clients turning them down after finding out about their relationship or rivals making some mean-spirited jabs at them.

Just ... frustrated avocados in love being frustrated with the world? Please?
