One thing I've seen some people say about Evelyn not wanting her father to know that Joy is gay wasn't quite sitting right with me. The statements I saw floating around were about Evelyn choosing her father over her daughter in that moment didn't resonate with my own interpretation, which is that Evelyn was attempting (however poorly, I won't deny that) to protect her daughter from the type of abandonment she experienced when she was young and fell in love with the "wrong" person.
I think she (fairly) doesn't trust that her father can be accepting, because if he disowned her after she married a man that was "too soft" then how would he react to his granddaughter having a girlfriend?
