Difference and belonging
"No child should choose between having food, love, and a roof over their head or being their full self."

I've had someone directly accuse me of choosing evil, of choosing to be possessed by The Devil, because I mentioned support to them of non-hetero sexuality. I was insulted and taken aback, but... I know that person to be mentally ill. Their opinions on such things can be taken with a grain of salt. The fact that such opinions are common among people who are supposedly not mentally ill is sad and disturbing.
It is sad and disturbing and all too common for those who do not Conform that we must go far from our families and familiar lands to find safety and welcome.
