Ron, a male straight journalist, meets Leila, the chairwoman of the local Lesbian Association, in the "Clit-ivy" bar. Besides Leila sits a big-boobed friend of her, who tensely looks at Ron, who feels both aroused and uneasy at her stare.
Moreover, Ron notices that whenever he changes body posture, Leila's friend follows suit – and sometimes vice versa.
So he thinks, "She wants me – but aren't this bar's female patrons supposed to be lesbians?"
When somebody phones the lady, and she gets out to answer the call, Ron asks Leila, "Leila, what's your friend's name?"
"Lorna. You noticed that she kept staring at you, didn't you?"
"Yes. But I thought she was lesbian."
"Ron, as far as our association is concerned, a lesbian is a woman who dates other women, not a woman who doesn't date men."
"So you're encouraging me to ..."
"I'm just telling you that you shouldn't mistrust her more than straight women. Obviously, you should be no less considerate."
When Lorna comes back at the table, Leila introduces her to Ron.
Lorna says, "Pleased to meet you, Ron. I always read your articles, which are very clean – you must be both smart and sensitive, qualities most straight males definitely lack."
"Please, don't flatter me!" Ron answers.
"I'm not known for flattering," Lorna answers, "Actually I'm a literary critic for another newspaper, and I often scathe novels and plays."
"Lorna Madison! I've bought countless books on your advice and never regretted it!"
"Thanks a lot, Ron. And I have learnt a lot from your articles, even though you weren't writing of something you could experience yourself!"
