I'm not saying anyone can't get laid at the ALA conference I'm just saying it probably helps to be a WLW bc only the keenest Sapphic eye can detect which librarian cardigan means "tragically straight forever" and which means "I care about computer literacy and untrimmed bush"
It's not as easy as "check their nails" or "look for a Pride pin" because a ton of librarians have a kind of lesbotique energy emanating from them but a lot of times it's a false flag. The pheromones are just inordinately powerful allyship. You just have to start dropping slurs at some point
Can you have sex with men at an ALA conference? Really helps if you're gay, but a lotta male librarians are Distinguished gays who will at least say aloud it's trashy to try and get laid at a librarian conference. They're mostly lying but some of them are REAL serious about it
I'd say odds are generally in your favor that the dude you're talking to is secretly thrilled about getting to do it. But watch out for that small percentage who's REAL mad about the idea. It's mostly displaced anger at being less cool than their other gay friends but it's STRONG anger
But to the point: Can you have straight sex at the ALA Conference?
It is obviously physically possible. But has it ever been done? The science is murky. It isn't clear whether it helps or hurts your chances if you generally trust and approve of your local police
You'll have the easiest time clicking with strangers if you're a loud suburbanite lib. But also that kind of person, statistically, is least likely to do a one night stand at a work event. But for librarians who love sex AND I Voted sticker selfies? ALA is essentially a huge orgy
