I cried reading this. It was very honest in its representation of what it’s really like to come out. It’s no Simon Versus the Homosapien Agenda, but it’s not meant to be. It’s meant for the children of color, the children of religious family, and for the children who may have lost a parent along the way to finding who they are.
