| “ | Every time I see a young LGBT person commit suicide, all I can think about is the lost potential, and what could have happened if only a family member had been a little bit more supportive, or someone at school had been a little bit more supportive. That frustration, and exploring what could be when you’re young, naive and innocent, have no idea of any pressures from anyone else, versus what often ends up happening, once you realize that pressure... I wanted to explore both of those paths and tell that story, which is a very frustrating one. | ” |
