My peers understand that Alan and I are in a relationship. It makes sense, always macking on each other. Duh! Adults however, are not so keen, it seems. Whenever an adult inquires about Alan's welfare, he says "So how is your . . . friend doing?" It happens every time.

I went out to dinner with my academic advisor and a few others tonight. Dr. K. made his way around the table: "How's your summer going? How's your boyfriend? How's your girlfriend? How's your brother? How's your boyfriend? Where does he work? Larkin, how is your . . . friend doing?"

"Oh, you mean my LOVER? He's doing great."
