We sat next to each other in drafting.<br /><br />Nothing happened. He was out and proud, I only thought of my male sex partners as friends. We just shared a class.<br /><br />Many years later, he was surprised to learn that many of us dumb jocks, first, weren't dumb, and second, were having lots of sex with each other, with a "no penetration" caveat, when the girls wouldn't put out.<br /><br />The irony: He could've had the entire sports clique, had he asked, but it was the 90s, the era of Matt Shepard, so I can see why he didn't ask.<br /><br />So, Allen Ginsburg always makes me think of one of the ironies of my high school life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823073892487105533.post-9300262656874744822017-01-18T17:05:07.098-06:002017-01-18T17:05:07.098-06:00Allen Ginsberg is the famous Beat poet who wrote &...Allen Ginsberg is the famous Beat poet who wrote "Howl" and became a hippie spokesperson.
