   Around 15 years ago I went to an event in Singapore and met this queer woman who had just gotten married. She was the first queer woman I knew who had done that.

   Today she lives in Seattle with her beautiful family.

   Both of our families sometimes appear on newspapers together back home on topics like ‘married gay women!! find out more about them!!’ (I guess cos we were the most visible people back then)

   Today we are just going to have a normal dinner with our normal lives. Here in Seattle. We do this when they come to SF too. I wish I could go back in time to tell that version of me.

     Like I keep saying, I knew that my material life conditions had changed when I went to a Chinese acupuncture spot and the uncle and auntie who was like ‘who your husband tell me all about him’

     Immediately switched to ‘who your wife tell me all about her’ (after a pause, after I told them)

     I sort of write about this in this post about ‘wives and lives’
