Now I'm wondering how to I'm going to deal with Customs in three weeks, when I'll be going to Atlanta. I don't generally have a problem when I'm going to a con - sometimes they'll ask who will be there, and I rattle off a couple of names, and they're satisfied. Or I show them a flyer or progress report. But this time, I'm simply going to visit my boyfriend for a few days over New Year's. US Customs aren't big on acknowledging same-sex relationships, and being in one with someone who lives 1600km away may seem odd to them.
I'll be keeping an eye on this story because not only is Peter an acquaintance of mine, he's also slated to be one of our author guests at Polaris next year and I want him to be able to attend.
(I wouldn't quite say he's a friend, but that's only because we haven't spent any significant amount of time socializing - I know him well enough to say hi at a con, and chat for a few minutes. He was dating a friend of mine for a while, but that ended a year or so ago.)
