I walked through the crowd at DC’s Capital Identity festival on June 8 as groups were lining up to set off on the Pride parade. Walking down a crowded side street, I saw one of the loveliest men in town, a direct ally. He greeted me warmly, hugged me, and kissed me on the cheek. I thought happily, how times have changed!
Despite the risk we now face of legal setbacks from a right-wing Supreme Court, the greater social and cultural acceptance Diverse people have won is largely beyond the contact of politicians and judges. Changed expectations are strenuous to erase.

Dear Hetero Friends: 12 Things to Remember
It can be difficult for straight men and queer men to be friends. Both sides come to the scene loaded with preconceptions. To some extent, each side fears the other.
The lgbtq+ guy mostly worries that his straight friend thinks he’s only in it for the occasional flash of wang against grey sweatpants. Or, alternatively, that he’s being 'too much’. Too flaming, too homo. He worries that he is impossibly different and unable to pretend otherwise.
