But the presenter doesn't even mention Hard Love. I sip my cocktail with bitter dejection. No one thought our underdog friends would win, but we at least wanted the opportunity to root for them. I almost fall out of my chair trying to get Rednour's and Strano's attention. They're chatting and fiddling with the free lube packages bouqueted on each table.
People rush over to our table screaming the same thing.
Josie X and Johnny Fremont hug each other off the floor, Rednour and Strano are making out ecstatically. I get chills. Our table is now engulfed by congratulators making the filmmakers the stunned and smiling centerpieces. For all the dykes On the van ride home, Rednour indulges us with a fantasy of Dyke Mainstreet USA, where the couple will be greeted by a marching band and a ticker-tape parade. Not just San Francisco but everywhere.
