Last night I attended my little sister's formal. Apart from all the usual thoughts (i.e. Her dress is really pretty, How does she walk in those shoes?, Who's that person?) I left with one thought sticking in my mind. How wonderful is was that there was and openly gay couple (and other openly gay people) in attendance. Only five or so years ago when I attended the same school there was nobody that was openly gay. At best, you were bisexual and then came out after you left school. (okay, I lie, there was one lesbian and she was tight with all the guys). I'm so glad that things have changed in the country school that I grew up in.
