Walking a dog through the city, when a friend pulls up to a red light beside me on her scooter. She says hi and points to another friend approaching us from across the street. It occurs to me that we’re all queer, which is not surprising, because most of my friends are. But then I realize that we all know each other because they were the first and second people, respectively, to date my long term relationship ex after me. And that sums up a lot of things about my social life in this city.
