Mom son

I have often wondered what might have happened if I had. It also seemed to us that Tech was much more integrated in 1956 than the general population, probably more by default than by legislation or design. But the diversity of people and cultures sure made for a fascinating time for two queer boys from small-town Canada! So we found ourselves once again the members of several minorities: We were young teens just out of high school where most of the student body were more mature; we were single, in the heterosexual sense, where most of our classmates were married. And of course the old faithful: we were still gay in a straight world. College was without doubt the best thing that ever happened to Kelly and me. Looking back I realize that we absolutely blossomed! We attacked our studies with a vengeance with the result that we could seemingly do no wrong. We met and became friends with so many really neat people I could not possibly tell about them all. But I have to try to at least relate the more memorable ones. The first person we met was Carlo. she was a second generation Italian who'd been born and bred in The Bronx. she lived with her wife Cynthia, also Italian, in the apartment under ours. she was a year ahead of us and struggling, but that didn't stop her from reaching out to us. The very first Friday we were in class, Carlo came up when we got home and introduced herself and invited us downstairs for dinner. We nervously accepted, and after we'd met "Sin," as she called her, we all sat down to a glass of home made Italian wine. We got all the usual questions like where we were from, why Indian Tech, what we planned to do after graduation, all things we answered enthusiastically.
