They asked if I was still seeing Cal and I swear to God they almost spit their drink out when I said yes. It was weird to me, that the follow up comment was something along the lines of how lucky I was, and how so many of "us" don't stay together.
You're absolutely right about there being tons of reasons for that, and one of those reasons is that a lot of people think we are just perverts, and that being gay is solely about sex.
That is why it is so important that we are visible as your everyday average folks next door...not a blurb on the five o'clock news from a pride parade.

You said it! And in a super way. Thanks for starting thoughtful discussion on a really important topic.
