Baby Steps

I needed new shoes for work, and after not finding what I needed at Academy, Gaby and I drove out to the mall.
He's become more and more angry about what he's begun referring to as "Chicken Pride Day" last Wednesday, and he's especially been disgusted by his own friends who saw it as a freedom of speech issue.  But he had an idea, and he shared it with me as we walked from the car to the Sears entrance.
   He wanted to know how many of his friends would be offended by seeing him kiss me.  Would they think it's different for us than for straight couples?  And if they do, why?
   I reached out my hand so he could hold it as we walked in.  He didn't notice.


So far, only three of his 200+ friends have answered.
