Yesterday two ladies who were obviously a couple came in to put an offer in on one of our homes. As I was explaining the documents and telling them what I would need, I called them you guys several times. I typically refer to couples as you guys when going over our contracts instead of Mr and Mrs so and so over an over. The ladies didn't act offended or look at me strangely, but I felt awkward using the term to two women in a relationship.

You're in Texas. "Y'all" is expected, accepted, and gender inclusive.

I'm willing to bet there was flannel in one of their outfits and possibly a Subaru or Mini Cooper was their mode or transportation.

No. Have real good friends that are a married lesbian couple and I refer to them as you guys all the time. I think if they were going to take issue they would have already let you know.

Yes. The proper term is "ya'll"
In seriousness, I doubt they cared much if they even noticed.

Doubtful. Lesbians are usually pretty laid back. Unlike most gay men who over react about everything. They probably didn't think anything of it.

I have a staff of 4 supervisors that report directly to me. All women. I routinely refer to them as "you guys".

When in doubt, set the hook.
