If you live in New Hampshire, please don't use Joseph Roper Jr., DDS as your dentist:

Dentist suspended for refusing to treat lesbian patient

A fellow employee and I sussed each other out in about 15 minutes as fellow "members of the community." As fellow "friends of Dorothy." As fellow "practitioners of illegal sexual practices on certain states of the Union."

He asked me if I was freelancing. I said yes, but that maybe if they liked me they would hire me. Although I wasn't sure that I really wanted to be anybody's bitch anymore.

He laughed and said that, although he'd only met me twice, I didn't seem to give off the "please slap me around, I really enjoy it" vibe.

It's nice to know the inside matches the outside.
