Gay Prom

So last night, after a significant amount of cajoling by my roommate, I volunteered to chaperone BAGLY's gay youth prom. Although there is a lot to say about the experience, the thing that really stuck with me was how mainstream gay kids are now. There were what people would call stereotypical gay kids, but the gay community ran the panoply: skaters, jocks, normal little girl lesbians, etc.

It was a really remarkable demonstration of how "gay" seems to be losing much of its idiosyncracy in the younger generation.
