In the August 1979 issue of Baltimore's long-running Gay Community Center newspaper, Greg Lehne wrote about casual sex in the gay men's community in his column, 'Gay Perspectives.' How do you let a man know you are interested in getting to know him, not just getting it on? Lehne advised looking to lesbians: 'The lesbian social scene, which predominantly revolves around friendship circles and non-bar activities, can also provide gay men with a model for meeting friends.' He suggested men organize Sunday brunches at home, everyone inviting a friend, like those potluck-loving lesbians do.
