But it definitely isn't exclusively gay - because if that game is on your table, regardless of sexual orientation, you're going to play. Especially when the loser has to buy next round - which is what occurred at our table.
If only I was there. I have mad skillz when it comes to Connect Four.
Anyway, speaking of lesbians and Europe: I was at a mixer in Oxford, chatting up this rather fit girl (she was a rower, but, then again, who isn't there), but it slowly dawned on me that she's a lesbian (and not really that bright, either - must have been from Lancshire), so I moved on. About 9 months later, I'm walking down the street to get to the grocery store, when I see two women walking down the street, holding hands. So I think to myself 'oh, they're just being European, since, you know, they can hold hands and that doesn't mean they're lesbians'. Then I recognized one as the girl from the mixer way back when.
I think that was also the day when I ran into a friend of a friend in the queue at Sainsbury's whom I had read about in a book, as her aunt is a columnist for the Guardian. It was a bit strange. But she was cute. And probably straight.
