It happened kind of like this (as written by Rod, who organized a pre-rally drink-down at an Astoria beer garden). It was silly, but the novelty of a gaggle of attractive, youngish, fem (and mostly ( Read more... )

Also, I thought bf/gf was slightly immature for people in their very late 20s, and it was also a subtle way to assert my queerness and solidarity with the movement. All in one word! It caught on among some of my straight friends too, which is small moral victory ( ... )
