Wrong Festival

Picture this. A gorgeous spring/summer day and 3 young men renting a canoe to paddle around the bay. During their travels they spot a festival happening in the park along the shoreline so they decide to park their canoe and take part.

My grandson and his 2 friends are in their early 20's so I'm sure they thought they'd find some good looking girls at the festival to hang out with. The three of them sauntered around until one happened to notice a banner headlining the group the festival was for. It was for gays, lesbians, and transgender people.

The 3 young men were none of those things so , very disappointed, they left.

My grandson is not homophobic. He rents an apartment from a family friend who is an openly gay man and one we love very much. His friends might have been a little more disconcerted but most young people today don't feel the revulsion for gays that earlier generations did and that's a good thing.

In any case, the boys left because they weren't about to find the kind of companionship they were seeking.
