Befriending a Straight Dude Bro

And the confounding healing that followed — I never expected to befriend a straight dude bro. In the past, their behavior hadn’t meshed with me all that well. Their strange customs seemed distant and artificial, not worth the effort to puncture their competitive, jokey armor. …
