Obama’s support energizes gay activists worldwide
Seattle Post, 10 May 2012
“You’ll have heard about Baz?”
More an accusation than a question.
“Why mention him now?
It’s not like we’re close.
Just met him the once or twice,
and anyway he’s got a wife.”
“He wouldn’t be the first,”
(pausing to fold one of Dave’s shirts).
“Listen, Nick, don’t spoil our day.
Queenie’s coming out later
and it’ll all look better then, vows renewed,
the parties put behind us.”
“Those parties,” Nick sighed, “aren’t for queers.”
He’d seen Dave change among his peers.
