el doesn't know what gay means

If Mike came out to her she would not understand, she would probably be like, "gay...? What is gay...?" And she wouldn't understand why mike wouldn't want to tell her, because she doesn't understand what homophobia is or why it would affect someone. The only exposure she has had to homophobia is the bullies in s1, but she didn't understand what those words meant, all she knew is that they made mike upset. If Mike or will had a coming out scene to her, she would be very confused of why it was a big deal, after she found out what it meant. I think she would be upset about Mike lying to her, because she doesn't have the context to understand why he would need to lie. I personally think she has already picked up on that something is going on between Mike and will, she wouldn't understand why this would need to be kept a secret. From her perspective they are just lying with no good reason to do so, she might even accidentally out ones of them. She would not have the context to instantly accept, she is going to be upset about Mike lying, and maybe will too. But once it is explained to her why, and she sees homophobia again, this time through a new lens and understanding, she will be accepting and probably apologize for being upset, now that she understands.(this is if she doesn't accidentally out ones of them, which I don't think the duffel bagels would do)

Basically I'm trying to say, El wouldn't be all instant ally.
