WHAT IS IT WITH THE WOMEN WHO WORK AT THE HY-VEE?

WHAT IS IT WITH THE WOMEN WHO WORK AT THE HY-VEE?

Because . . . unless my gaydar’s off, which is rare, I could swear they’re all gay.

Okay . . . maybe not all of them. Just the ones who are obviously dykes.

The thing is, though, they all wear engagement and wedding rings, and I see them with their “husbands” around town sometimes. Are they simply in denial? Is it all an elaborate ruse to make sure nobody attempts to rattle the closet door?

Sometimes I think that maybe it’s like Minnesota . . . where sometimes you swear the women are gay but they’re really not, and maybe I’m just confused . . . but then one day I was shopping in the Hy-Vee and noticed kd lang was playing over the loudspeakers. And then Melissa Ethridge. And next it was the Indigo Girls.

I wish they would just go ahead and be gay. It would make me feel so much better.
