My mom visited this weekend.
Saturday afternoon, she says “you know, what I haven’t seen enough of are gay couples. I wanted to see couples just out and about.”
“Well, we could go to the Castro if you want?”
So we did. We later saw a gay couple holding hands at a museum, and a guy kissing another guy on the cheek outside a townhouse. I think she liked seeing it being no big deal, liked knowing I was in a city where I could do that without worry.
