The acclaimed website and non-profit organization I ’ m From Driftwood shares true, first-person LGBT stories from around the world. Storytelling is one way to recreate the representation of LGBTQ people by helping queer people learn more about their community, straight people learn more about their neighbors, and everyone learn more about themselves. Likewise, their stories are diverse and their need for acceptance and understanding requires that everyone think beyond stereotypes. They know they must find a way to be together, but how will they get the courage to escape Mandy’s marriage, the church, and Kathleen’s powerful family.īrooklyn, New York– Lesbian, bisexeual, gay, transgender, and queer people come from all over. Kathleen captures Mandy’s heart and rules her body with a passion she has never known before. Knowing that her life will never be the same, Mandy tries to see if there were clues in her life that should have alerted her to her hidden forbidden identity. Feeling new, deliciously different emotions, Mandy, struggles with the implications of what has happened. Kathleen brazenly makes a pass at Mandy forever changing her life. However, Mandy unexpectedly encounters her true destiny, a graduate student and also a member of her church, Kathleen Crutchfield. Mandy and Scott, unable to have children, adopt a baby boy and are seemingly happy.
It is impossible to do anything outside the ordinary without the pack of gossipy old vultures tearing you to pieces.
The church is full of nosy old busy bodies. She marries Scott, the son of a Southern Baptist minister who is the choir director of his dad’s church Mandy is the director of the Young People’s Department and Scott is the choir director. She has been brought up to make her mother proud – marry, have children, and bring no shame on the family.
A church steeped in taboos against almost everything, but especially against homosexuality.
