Excerpt:
Jake walked into the cottage, laid the rose
on the hall table, removed his jacket and hung it on a hook inside the hall
closet. He took Dave’s green sweater from a hanger, slipped it around his back
and hugged himself with the sleeves. The scent of Dave’s favorite aftershave
filled his nostrils. My dear one, what
will I ever do without you? He picked up the rose, stuck the stem through a
buttonhole on his shirt and went into the kitchen. He took two glasses from the
cupboard and pushed a button on the refrigerator door. Ice and green tea
flavored with honey and ginseng poured into the glasses. He frowned at the
glasses and set one on the table. I guess I
only need one glass.
His shoulders drooped and his feet shuffled
as he walked to the living room. He felt much older than his seventy-six years.
He set the glass on the table next to his favorite chair, sat and pushed a
button on the arm of his chair. Across the room a huge screen nearly the size
of the wall rose up and displayed a menu. He pushed another button and an
old-fashioned photograph appeared on the screen. Memories flooded his mind.

Let’s talk about A. T. Weaver:
A. T. Weaver is the pen name of a divorced
grandmother of eleven, great-grandmother of one. She lives with her cat,
Cleopatra, in downtown Kansas City, MO.
When she was growing up, the word gay meant
happy and carefree and homosexuals were called queer or ‘one-of-those’.
However, she never heard those terms until she was married and a mother. When
two men moved in down the street from their mobile home, her husband had to
explain they were queer. As far as she was concerned, they were just a couple
of men sharing a trailer.
In 2003, through a TV show called Boy Meets
Boy, using the sign-on of ‘alixtheweaver’ she ‘met’ over 3,000 gay men in a
Yahoo group. These men called her ‘grandma J. and educated her as to the
inequalities suffered by the LGBT community She became a staunch ally. She
visited one of the men in San Francisco who lived just up the street from the
Castro. As he showed her around, they stopped in front of what was once Harvey
Milk’s camera store. Her question, “Who was Harvey Milk?” started her education
into Gay history.
After the passing of Prop 8 in 2008, she
attended her first ever protest rally at the ripe age of 65 where she held a
church flag across the street from WBC protesters.
A. T.’s aim is to move you in some way.
Whether you laugh or cry, love it or hate it, she welcomes all comments,
whether good or bad.
