By the way…

To the man yesterday on State Street who said, apparently unaware that we were passing by, “If we see a restaurant with a rainbow sticker on it, we’re going somewhere else.”

“Hello, my name is Nathan and these are my two gay friends and my boyfriend. What did we do to you? You are a bigot. You are teaching your children to be bigots. Stop living in hate.”

I wish I’d had the presence of mind to say this to him right then.

Islands away from Boston

Yesterday, we spent the day away from Boston at the Boston Harbor Islands National Park.  It was wonderful to get away from this city for even a few hours.  Nice breezes, old forts, ocean in the distance, and a general lack of the crowds, the hustle and bustle of Boston.


I’m not in love with Boston, and although I don’t think I hate it, I definitely enjoy any chance I can get to get away from it.


BF and I also did very well in dealing with one another.  We had a bit of a fight, but we’ve both learned to work on talking to one another and not make fights the last word.  And we eventually made up.  And watched a night of British television.


What did you do yesterday?
