“Charlie stood there like a stone monolith, blinking at his friend. Former friend? Christ. Eventually, he managed to utter, “So it’s like that, then?” Sean visibly swallowed, stood up straight, and seemed to force himself to meet Charlie’s provoking gaze. “It is exactly like that,” he replied, brave as can be.”

I wanted to feel confident when I showed a man affection, not just within the walls of an apartment or the relative safety of a gay bar, not just during Pride. I wanted to kiss a man whenever and wherever I felt like it—on a sidewalk in the rain, at a crowded bus stop, in a shopping mall parking lot on a Monday afternoon. I wanted to kiss a man whose presence made the rest of the world vanish into irrelevance, a man whose touch erased every tinge of fear and every knot of knee-jerk shame I'd felt for having the audacity to display a love like mine in a world like ours.”

“Hice lo que pude con las herramientas que tenía en mis manos en ese momento. Y mis decisiones recientes, aunque tardías, me están empujando un poco más hacia la vida que siempre he soñado tener, pero que creía imposible: una donde no tengo que fragmentar mi identidad en partes. Y aunque eso me cueste algunas personas en el camino, otras se quedarán. Y eso está bien.”
