Reply #74: Thank God for my gay-activist hair stylist!!!

He and I talk politics all the time. He has referred to his partner as "my husband" for over 20 years, and was the first to open my mind to the concept of gay marriage. He then got married for real in Canada, and then in Vermont when it became available.

I tried a local salon, the stylist kept making insinuations about how she never went into the city because she was afraid of "those people" who had "ruined everything". First and last appointment there. Worth schlepping further away to my regular guy.

I'll work to open the minds of people who just haven't been exposed to anything else, but it's not worth it with the hard-core stupid.
