"Being a freak among freaks, openly. I don't have to hide anything about me, don't have to live on the edge of society. I can be myself openly. I can be a part of a community. Have friends, have neighbors, have love. It's all new for me. Brand-fucking-new."
"It sucks that you had to do that before, but I'm so happy for you. No one should have to hide what they are or who they are to be accepted. I hope you only get to have more of everything as we go on. You've got one more friend today, now, after all."
