Gay, Green and Geek

I’ve mentioned before that both my partner and I are scientists, but did I also tell you we were big science fiction fans? Not only that, we first met just over 17 years ago at a science fiction convention for GLBT fans called Gaylaxicon. Gay, Green and Geek or GGG as Dan Savage would say.

This past Saturday we went to a meeting of The Alternate Universe. This is our local club for gay fans of SF. My friend Joe and I started this group in 1987, I was 27 years old at the time. There is a core group of about 12 people, many of them have been around for much of that time.

The meeting on Saturday was an annual pool party that we have at one members house. Here are a couple photos taken with my phone at the meeting. Darius is sitting off by himself in the grass for a “timeout”. Stuff happens!
