Always we were asked, but you don’t mean my work, my poems, my letters, my photographs? Always there was incredulity at our assertion that her life was the important one. But I had known this deprivation so searingly in my own life that it was a question that brought out all my fire and love – Yes, yes, you are the lesbian the archives exist for, to tell and share your story.

I think one of the things that comes from a little bit of the isolation of being gay is a desire to build your own family, and I think being gay in the past really meant you had to go to a place and build a family. Right, that is something that really does continue, I think, for gay people. Even at a party, you know. If I go to a party in Los Angeles, all of a sudden I realize it’s me and four gay guys standing around. You know, you find each other. You find your little gay family. And I think you build up.

   I just drove my uncle and myself to the hardware store, and he said to me “Molly, I want you to know that being Catholic doesn’t change anything. If you someday get married, your wife will be welcome in this family. Don’t ever think otherwise.”

  That is really nice, but I am not gay???

Always keep mint on your windowsill in August, to ensure that buzzing flies will stay outside, where they belong. Don’t think the summer is over, even when roses droop and turn brown and the stars shift position in the sky. Never presume August is a safe or reliable time of year. It is the season of reversals, when birds no longer sing in the morning and the evenings are made of equal parts golden light and black clouds. The rock-solid and the tenuous can easily exchange places until everything you know can be questioned and put into doubt.
