Happy Gay Day, Ingrid

Today is 36 years since we came out to each other, Ingrid. I love this day. I love that I know it exists and I love that it exists because of you, pal. Wherever you are, I know it's the gayest place ever, thanks to you.

Here's to the high school darkroom where we shared our first kiss, where we said out loud to each other who we were, where we really started the process of growing up. Where we first said I love you.

And here's to you, Ingrid Wilhite, lesbian extraordinaire. I miss you, first love. I miss you, friend.

Hell, I even miss your damn accordion.
