A wonderful collection of interviews and stories of everyday people. Absolutely engaging and enlightening. This book opens one's eyes to the fact that we are all, all of us, gay, straight, bi, trans, simply human. Wonderful read.

I appreciated the honest conversations in this book. It is unfortunate that the world we live in has people who are intolerant of others. This book opened my eyes about the struggles LGBT people face. While we might have differences in sexuality and identity, we all share the need of wanting to be loved and accepted.
