Because if you have American citizenship you generally want to keep it no matter where you are. Plus, you still have to pay taxes. The latter might trump the former.

Americans abroad tend to keep their allegiance, unlike immigrants.

immigrants permanently settle in a new place and usually try to assimilate

expats gently caress off in a foreign country for a few years, isolate themselves in a bubble with other expats, and then return home

trying to conflate the two is just dumb virtue signaling

Non-Americans also use expat. Examples are British, Canadians, and even the wily Aussie or two. I hope that helps.

An immigrant settles somewhere else for greater employment opportunity, while an American expat is someone who quits his job and moves to southeast Asia to gently caress prostitutes.

when you get married to a pirate you become a pirate by default. a pirate crew is like a family, and you marry into it.

Where do pirates stand on gay marriage? Or is it more of a "cabin boy/captain" sort of a situation?

"Oh Kendall, where did you go, you missed the ending of the movie, it was really go-"
Carlos turned around to look at Kendall as he finished the sentence, but before he could, his jaw dropped. Kendall stood before him, dressed in a light red, baggy, long sleeve, old century dress shirt. A pair of black pants with a dark red sash tied around his waist, tucked in to a pair of dark brown boots with gold buckles on them.
Covering the top of his hair was a dark red bandana and to top the entire look off, there was a sword strapped to his side.

"Y-you're a-a…" The blonde smirked. "A pirate?" He asked, ever so smugly. His smirk grew when he noticed Carlos couldn't stop staring at the top four buttons of his shirt that were undone. He walked closer to the Latino, who for the life of him; couldn't take his eyes off of Kendall.
"This is what you wanted-" He traced his fingers along Carlos' jaw. "-right?" Carlos gulped, nodding slowly. He smirked again, unsheathing his sword and carefully pointing it towards Carlos. "Then as Kendall Knight, captain of 2J, I demand ye make haste to me bedroom. Now."

Carlos didn't have to be told twice as he snapped his jaw shut, hopped over the sofa, and dashed to Kendall's bedroom. Kendall followed, smirking again, the sword still in hand.

sodomy was really common: https://www.amazon.com/Sodomy-Pirate-Tradition-Seventeenth-Century-Caribbean/dp/0814712363

In Sodomy and the Pirate Tradition, historian B. R. Burg investigates the social and sexual world of these sea rovers, a tightly bound brotherhood of men engaged in almost constant warfare. What, he asks, did these men, often on the high seas for years at a time, do for sexual fulfillment? Buccaneer sexuality differed widely from that of other all- male institutions such as prisons, for it existed not within a regimented structure of rule, regulations, and oppressive supervision, but instead operated in a society in which widespread toleration of homosexuality was the norm and conditions encouraged its practice.
