Coming up with an answer to problem I don't think exists

By HUGH REILLY
SOME time ago, I entered a room I thought was the venue for a modern studies teachers' conference. I observed, however, a notice alerting me to the fact that I had, in error, turned up at a meeting for LGBT teachers.
Part of me wanted to believe the professionals sat before me were sandwich aficionados and LGBT was something akin to BLT (bacon, lettuce and tomato). But, of course, LGBT does not refer to a lettuce, ginger, bacon and tomato sandwich – it means lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (the last category includes both pre and post op – I'm happy to clear up any confusion regarding the criteria for membership). Being heterosexual, I left the room immediately – straight away, if you will.

Didn't much agree with the article, but I thought the "straight away" joke was hilarious. He shoulda stuck around that conference - might have learned something.

Lady Amarant;

Thank you for wading into the fray in the comments section of that article!
