Het dates on Pride Day seem ill-advised.
Trying to make a statement of girl-on-boy affection
on a day dedicated to the furtherance
of all the other options?
Tacky.

I mean, if you’re het married,
stay married, I guess
and if you’re in some kind of long-term het relationship,
feel free to see each other
in the act of celebrating Pride,
but het Grindr,
whatever it may be called,
should just shut down
on such a day.

No blind dates
no bar come-ons
no fratboy hookups
– unless it’s with other fratboys.
That’s cool.
Otherwise, though: no.

Het sex on this day
is wrong.
We should celebrate diversity
in all its forms,
of course,
just not the vanilla kind.
