"And this neck—this neck that has leaned forward so she could pray over a chair, that has tilted back so she could see the heavens, that has turned to the side so she could hide from her demons, that has propelled her forward so she could kiss a girl."

"It's hard to love someone when loving then makes you feel ashamed of yourself."

"I wish so badly that I could find Jesus or God, or whatever— I just wish I could find him in the park or something, and sit down with him on the grass and ask him what I'm supposed to do. Or why any of this happened. I wish I could look into his face and say, 'Why do I have these feelings in my heart? Are they bad? Why does everyone says they're bad? And if they are bad, why did you make me like this?'"

The chapel stays silent. The statues do not reprimand her. She raises her eyes to the Crucifix that hangs above the altar and stares beseechingly at it.

"Somewhere, somehow, something must have gone wrong when she was born. Something got switched in the wiring. Something in her brain, or in her body, or in her blood. Everything she's learned about union with another person, about her body's purpose—none of that can transfer to a girl"

"She wonders about this suffering.
Was it designed by God, a lesson to turn her away from her sin?"
