Nina LaCour
“I hate that word. Straight. At the very least, those of us who are nonstraight should get called curvy. Or scenic. Actually, I like that: 'Do you think she's straight?' 'Oh no. She's scenic”
― Nina LaCour, You Know Me Well

Kai  McCarthy
“What kind of useless anger / can cause hatred towards love?”
― Kai McCarthy, Holding The Moon With Lavender Hands
