i was drunk at dinner at an expensive restaurant. i was with my then boyfriend, and we were with a straight couple. another gay couple sat down at the table next to us. unintentionally, and unaware of the volume of my voice, i announced the fact that there was another gay couple in the restaurant to my table, and included the fact that they looked very much like members of a gay subculture that are known as "bears," or sometimes "leather bears."
apparently the whole restaurant heard, and the poor men got up and moved to another table.
i felt *terribly* about it.
