True Girlfriends, Not Sexual Girlfriends

Backstory: This email came after I told my mom that the person I will be bringing with me to visit her isn’t my friend, but in fact a girl I am sleeping with (up until this point she thought I was straight).

As for sleeping arrangements go, I know that you are an adult but since you are not in a committed relationship with this girl, I think she should sleep on the couch and not in your room ( the same thing would be true if this was a man!!). Unless you two can sleep together as girlfriends, like true girlfriends not sexual girlfriends. Your grandmother is right down the hall!

Mom’s Switching Teams

Dear all:
Check out the Rachel Maddow show on MSNBC. She is SO cool. She is Rhodes Scholar, Lesbian, AIDS activist who stumbled into television and radio broadcasting while working in AIDs in prisons…..and she is so smart and funny and warm.. I think I am in love with her, even though i’m not gay, and oh yeah, also I am already married…but, oh well, everyone seems to be in love with her. Watch her show for a really intelligent nightly update.
mom..



Love, Mom
