Cally sent a photo to the handbell practice email list (I'm on it, even though I don't go on Monday nights). You were in it.

Allies can mean a lot of things. Years ago (when I was taking the Tech Squares classes, so it might have been about 2004?) I went to a dance in JP that was aimed at the LGBTQ crowd. I chatted with a straight woman who said that she had joined a gay club because she liked dancing with men but didn't want them to hit on her, so it seemed the ideal solution to her.
