As Valentine’s Day approaches, half the staff of The Stranger is frantically making romantic plans, and the other half DGAF.
Among the planners, one heterosexual said she had just “ordered a gluten-free Deathcake” from Cupcake Royale that she will “probably share” with her partner. Another said, “Maybe wax? Get a nice wax.” Another said, “Trying not to masturbate.”
In the other camp, one of the queers on staff said, “I don’t celebrate Christmas. I definitely don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day.” Another said, “I didn’t do Thanksgiving this year. We missed Christmas. I think I was too drunk to celebrate New Year’s. I’ll probably get a bunch of weed, but that’s just for me.”
Everyone’s different—just like every relationship is different.
