lets pretend, for a moment, that that's true: I would give it back if I could.

I'm serious, that was the biggest takeaway I had from reading Boots of Leather, Slippers of Gold. As a young single person, the lesbian bars of the 50s and 60s and actual community would be of much greater use to me than the right to marry.
