Call Me Quixote

By Genta Sebastian

CALL ME QUIXOTE
Love on the Line

Quixote, an elder wedding officiant, learns her ride will be late picking her up after a ceremony. She joins a group of young lesbians by their campfire while she waits, sharing her whiskey and wisdom. Curious about her name, they ask why she chose it. Q trades them a story for a s'more.

Twenty years ago, in a city far, far away, a series of sudden coincidences propelled two middle-aged Minnesota lesbians into the adventure of a lifetime. While seizing a fleeting opportunity, Genta and Maria receive both taunts from bigoted protestors, and supportive PB&Js from drag queen nuns. They experience romance in the City of Love one night and suffer a wild winter storm throughout the next. Stubbornly refusing to give up, they hold their place in line for over twenty-four hours. Can they reach their impossible dream to be legally married, or will the windmill giant, Fear, defeat their love?

Read Genta Sebastian's fascinating account of a remarkable Valentine's weekend in 2004 when Mayor Gavin Newsom provided the first legal marriage licenses for same-sex couples in the United States of America. She was there and this is what happened.
