I Kissed Shara Wheeler, page 30
And, finally, let’s hear it one more time for queer kids in red states and conservative religious communities. I love y’all so much. It may feel sometimes like nobody knows or cares that you’re there, doing your best to get through it, carrying all that weight, but I know it. So many of us queer adults who’ve come out the other side know it. We’re here for you whenever you’re ready. You’re going to be loved and known and cared for in ways you can’t even imagine yet. And you’re going to have some wild stories to tell at Gay Friendsgiving one day. Take good care of yourselves until then.
Wait, actually. One more.
To Chloe Green. Thank you for everything you’ve taught me.
