My partner is concerned about blowback. Though he has an androgynous name, he is still concerned we could become targets. We aren't in a huge city. Hell, to cross from one side to the other, if you hit all the lights, takes 8 minutes! There is no place in town that is more than 15 minutes away. I will say most people who "suspect" about us have asked if we set a date. The 'common' folk are much less uptight than many would think.
