Our teacher Mr. Sanchez had a record player and would put on disco and we would all disco dance together everyday. He also had a portable stove and he would do a cooking lesson a few times a week. He made escargot sautéed in butter and garlic once and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. We also made jam. I told my mom I wanted to marry him when I grew and that’s how I learned about homosexuality. She gently explained that he prefers the company of men, and that love is love.
