“When you add the ‘village mentality’ of everyone knowing everyone else (and their business), it can be very claustrophobic. What does such an environment mean for any individual who is different from the average white heterosexual person within the community?”
Franko Figueiredo-Stow, Out On An Island

“In many ways, the Isle of Wight I know could be described as a place where differences were not welcome, where you must never speak of them. They cannot be acknowledged because keeping up the appearance of civility was more important than acceptance.”
Franko Figueiredo-Stow, Out On An Island
