Our hug of the full spectrum of gender notwithstanding, she has seemed most perplexed by the photos of me, dressed in my best red flannel shirt and ostensibly matching tie, officiating the weddings of my friends.
I'm a queer ex-nun and comedian with an open heart and a willingness to do paperwork. I acquire a round face and a codependent streak the width of Lake Michigan and the depth of Lake Superior, which makes me a diligent try-hard with parents and a favorite of everyone's zany and slightly problematic Aunt Edna.
