What is GLBT?

Saturday evening. Jigar and I decide to try out swing dancing at the Illini Union Ballroom. The Illini Union is this stylish 1800's building, the centerpiece of the campus. It pretty much looks like a hotel - posh wooden floors, huge laether sofas etc. etc. . Well this a a place for campus gatherings as well.
So we are walking and come across this event with the following sign-
line 1. GLBT Gathering!!
line 2 Boy meets Boy
line 3 Girl meets Girl
line 4 Boy meets Girl
line 5 Come and have fun!! Free food and free music!!
Well to 2 poor gradautes this is like reaching the lost city of Atlantis where unbounded happiness is supposed to abound in plenty.
Line 1- Yeah wateva who cares
Line 2- Hmm..not so exciting..but maybe I can make some friends.
Line 3- Yeah wateva..I am not a girl
Line 4- HMMM..that DOES sound interesting....very interesting.
Line 5- What free food??? and free live music??? This is heaven on earth. Something must be wrong.
Well something WAS wrong.
GLBT= Gay Lesbians Bisexuals and Trisexuals
(I still wanted to go in and eat the free food. But Jigar would have none of it!!)
