On counseling kids.

I was in Santa Fe, New Mexico vacationing, several years ago, and my boyfriend and I were sharing a table with a straight married couple (with kids back home) at my favorite Santa Fe restaurant, Cafe Pasqual's. We had a great conversation and were simply enjoying the moment of eating excellent food with good stimulting conversation.

When the conversation turned to the challenges gay kids face growing up, I made several suggestions to the parents. They told me I really should become a counselor for High School age kids. They told me I said things they never thought about. They were glad to meet me and told me they will take the hints I suggested to them back to Chicago.
