Meeting – 12.04.20. “At times we are much more generous with other genders. Are we expecting more from the category we identify with? We need to be willing to be more generous. I was walking through a tunnel in Paris having this conversation. [My] friend was much more critical of any whiff of homo-nationalism.” – MH.
