“My father, who had been in the military himself, was a sergeant, and he said to me ‘Now listen, when you go away to summer camp’ he said ‘I want you to know that there are lesbians up there.’ I said, ‘Really, Dad?’ He said ‘Yes, and I want you to be careful, they’re in huts H and J.’ I said ‘H and J, Dad?’ He said ‘Yes’ I said ‘OK, I’ll be careful.’ I go in to check in [and], of course, one of my lesbian buddies is on the desk. She says, ‘What huts do you want?’ I said, ‘Either H or J would be just fine’”
