Salt Lake has a fairly large and quite active gay community. And they're well aware of the cognitive dissonance this can cause for some folks. The Sugarhouse area on the east side is infamous/notorious/wonderful that way. Not coincidentally, the east side is also where the money is. Which makes it interesting, because that side of town is where the high church officials and the politicians live.

I guess the underwear really IS magic, after all.

Homecoming is tomorrow. The parade is tomorrow morning. I just had somebody from a dept. call wanting to get in the parade. When I was transferring the call to our homecoming person I just started laughing. I couldn't help myself.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

OMG, that is ROUGH.
But they ain't lying.
No, they're really not. (I laughed for days at North Beach East.)

Our homecoming parade is in 2.25 hours. Luckily I don't usually field that sort of call.

My bff from law school, who looks a lot like John Stewart, will be in town on the day of John Stewart's rally. We are making bets on how long he can fool people before he gets punched in the face.
Goodness, this takes me back.
eta: I like when my tag line and flea's line up.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Man, ita, that co-worker sounds like a prize cow-irker. Either he's telling the truth in which case GAH! or he's lying in which case he's a douche for valuing such things...
Stayed up too late = woke up late.
Have fun in the Bay Area, meara!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
The people who escape the South and Midwest (like myself) flee to the coasts - places where being liberal minded about politics, sexuality, and oh, you know, recycling a can, aren't viewed with hostility by their neighbors.
Or we, you know, find a supportive community and work for change. @@
God. It's not like the second you leave the coasts it's all "Dueling Banjos" out here.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Also, I know plenty of coastal neighbors who are hostile about those things, honestly. It's not all the West Village over here!
