I dedicate this book to my mom. She passed away in January 2019. She was my best friend. I miss her with all of my gay heart! Thank you, mom, for loving me, no matter what. Thank you for showing me unconditional love when I needed it most. Thank you to my siblings and my dad who have been such a great support and source of joy for me in my hard times. I love you all with all of my heart, might, mind and strength. My family will always be my greatest joy and source of acceptance and love. xoxo

My hope is that I will create more understanding and bridge some gaps in people’s understanding. I also hope that it will help gaybies (gay babies–not literal babies, but those brand new to
