He had been graduating as valedictorian and was accepted to Colombia University. Day people Phillip didn’t even know showed up to support him on his big. Being the golden son or daughter does that.

This will’ve been great if Phillip don’t result from family members where every person had built in bigotry that came in most taste. In virtually any offered discussion, you’d hear one thing racist, homophobic, transphobic, sexist, or something like that else similarly terrible. It was difficult being fully a homosexual kid growing up in a life like this. It took an extended time and energy to unlearn exactly what he had been taught.
