The Big 3-5

It's 35 years ago today that we came out, Ingrid. I'll never forget it, but that seems a silly thing to say. I suppose what I'm really saying is that I'll never forget you and your gay, gay, gay self.

Thanks, Ingrid, for your honesty and bravery. And for how you helped me be honest and brave, too. And for how you let me help you be the same. I suspect we were the first kids to come out in Kuna, Idaho, and survive the experience. Hell, thrive on the experience and become big ol' lesbians. How cool is that, Ingrid?

Happy Ingrid and Caren Coming Out Day, pal. I love you.
