“You know the syndrome: Saturday night when everyone is supposed to do something exciting and have a great time. […] We ticked off our options: dancing, the bars, a movie, the theatre, the baths, a concert, dinner at a good restaurant. None of them hit the mark. We both realized that what we most wanted was to spend a quiet evening at home, socializing with some of our gay male friends.”
