“I wanted them to have a death certificate so people would know that they had lived and they had died â€� they were here. Because they at least deserved that. They couldn't be "nobody's nothing" after what they had been through.”

“The mothers were the hardest on them, the fathers off to the side. Most of these young men were raised Pentecostal, and Pentecostals just hated gay people. The churches were so powerful and set where the family stood in life. The women had probably seen an example made of someone else, about some smaller defiance. Men can sometimes do the deciding about who is exiled, but it's women who do the day-to-day work of shunning. They knew they'd lose everything if they'd showed mercy to their sons.”
