STD

A new STD is afflicting the world. We all know what this STD is: COVID-19. And yes, it is an STD, a “socially transmitted disease.”  

“I have chlamydia.” My friend at UC Berkeley told me this through tears over the phone in early November, her voice cracking over the words. It was the first time I had ever heard her cry.

“So, lesbian sex ... how does it work?” It’s a question I’ve encountered more than once. In fact, if I got laid every time someone inquired as to how it is I get laid, I’d be on par with Shane McCutcheon.
