Quote #4

I loathe labels,/especially those I can't free myself/of. So how do I hang out a "lesbian"/shingle? (25.16)

Quote #5

I've never/seen so many same-sex couples before./Not all in one place, laughing, downing/drinks, making out in plain view. (29.40-41)

Since pride is, at least on one level, the ability to be yourself in public, Cara's first same-sex party is its own kind of gay pride celebration.

Quote #6

Gay. Lesbian. Words. That did not/ apply to me until recently. Or did/they? Do you have to admit you're/a lesbian before you are one? (33.13)

Answer: No. You are what you are, no matter what you call yourself. Deep inside, you know, and you'll put words to the knowledge when you're ready.
