Read banned books and adopt a “seek to understand” mindset. I come from a family of hard-charged opinions, stances, and political beliefs. I grew up attending Catholic school. There is so much about myself and my friends I am FINALLY opening myself up to learn about, and it’s been a LONG fucking time coming. Instead of hating people simply because of how they express themselves, let’s look inward and seek to understand where our hate and/or disapproval is really coming from. Are we happy with ourselves? Our lives? Are we angry that other humans decide to jump in DESPITE hardship? All that and more. This book is primarily written for gay men, but nonetheless, I learned a lot from this book—about myself and the world around me. We all hide parts of ourselves. I hide everyday, and I admire the people that share themselves anyway. Respect. Seek to understand. Love. That’s really all humans have ever wanted, yet we reject it when presented the opportunity. When you’re presented with the opportunity, I hope you seek to understand someone or something you don’t yet.

I really enjoyed this book and think everyone could benefit from reading it. Even the close-minded out there could learn a thing or two that they are sorely misinformed about. 

I really enjoyed all the blurbs added by other members of the community and their various experiences. I found much to relate to and I binged through this book in a few days. 

Just nice and kind and understanding to others ❤️🏳️‍🌈
