"You fucking faggot!" The man yelled, eyes full of hatred and rage, "Get out of this house! I don't want no fairy as a son!" He screamed, causing the thirteen year old in my arms to shake and sob harder.

I screamed when the police took him away. I screamed the night they told me I'd have to live on my own. I screamed.
