      Dat sommige mannen er een buitenvrouw op nahouden, is algemeen bekend en misschien zelfs ingeburgerd. Maar dat er mannen zijn die tegenwoordig ook een buitenman hebben, daar praat niemand over.
      That some men have a mistress is common knowledge and has perhaps even become socially accepted. But nobody talks about the fact that nowadays there are men who also have a male lover.

      Er heerst machtsstrijd in de kerk door te wrede leden / veels te vaag geroddel door ontevreden leden / dat zuster Jeanette te weinig collecte geeft / of de vrouw van onze pastor bij haar buitenman leeft
      A power struggle prevails in the church due to overly callous members / far too vague gossiping by disgruntled members / that sister Jeanette gives too little in collections / or that our pastor's wife lives with her lover
