In today’s New York Times, a gay teenager writes about being the default prom date for his female friends.
If I were a worried mother of a dateless daughter, I would scour the hip coffee shops of my town waving a rainbow flag in search of recruits. It might cause my daughter to die of embarrassment, but at least she would have a fabulous night out and wouldn’t make me a grandmother anytime soon.
Cute, poignant piece.

Very weird. Happy to write for the NYT about going to the prom with girls, but chary of taking a guy to the prom himself.
No guts, no glory!
