The bellman at the Nolose conference hotel who carried a box of books to my room refused a tip. He was thin and not young. He said he remembered the conference from the year before, remembered particular women – he knew that I hadn't been there – and that he had been very excited when he heard that Nolose was coming back. He wanted to honor this gathering of fat dykes, transgendered folks and allies, so was giving both work and praise.
Speaking with passion, telling me something that clearly mattered to him a lot, he said: "My name is Antonio. When you see me, know that for me it's not just about money."
