“All of us need more than we are given or could possibly access. Hell, our parents need more than they are given or could access. Naomi eventually moves in with her father, which alleviates much of the harm she lived with. Cousin James is gentle and accepting and his love helps quell the depression that has settled deeply inside her. Depression rates run high among those of us who are out, and for those of us rejected by our families, the national statistics report we are 8.4 times as likely to attempt suicide. It is not a time when Love is Love is Love is Love is a movement coming in to rescue us.”
