"His name is something like Lurp" - my sister trying to remember a characters name...the name was definitely NOT Lurp

My (immediate) family seems accepting and tries to explain to my younger sister about the LGBTQIA+ community the best they can but they also have these moments where I can't tell if they're genuinely not supportive or are just incorrect. I've noticed they seem to really think of stereotypes as true and I don't know how to explain they're wrong without outing myself. I know that both parents have extremely homophobic relatives on their sides of the family so I worry about that too. Even if they are accepting I'm also worried about them keeping it to themselves, especially knowing how some of my family members would react. How can I tell if they are unsupportive or just incorrect?

A character I relate most with is Tori from Solitaire (and Heartstopper), I understand how she finds "normal" social rules strange and relate to her experience being asexual. I also have a darker/unusual sense of humor that a lot of other people don't understand and I share her difficulty in making friends.
