Vernon D. Burns
“Show me the science. Last I heard, gay six-year-olds remain unproven.”
― Vernon D. Burns

Kevin J. Mitchell
“There is a power in accepting people the way they are—our friends, partners, workmates, children, siblings, and especially ourselves. People really are born different from each other and those differences persist. We’re shy, smart, wild, kind, anxious, impulsive, hardworking, absent-minded, quick-tempered. We literally see the world differently, think differently, and feel things differently. Some of us make our way through the world with ease, and some of us struggle to fit in or get along or keep it together. Denying those differences or constantly telling people they should change is not helpful to anyone. We should recognize the diversity of our human natures, accept it, embrace it, even celebrate it.”
― Kevin J. Mitchell, Innate: How the Wiring of Our Brains Shapes Who We Are
