Dieses Bild, diese wenigen Worte, hatten eine solch immense Wirkung auf mich, dass ich für einen winzigen Moment keine Luft mehr bekam. Ein Gefühl von Wut überkam mich, Wut und endlose Trauer, die ich kaum verarbeiten konnte. I don't really know what to say about it, because nothing will be enough. Just stop the hate and embrace everyone as they are, and make love win. From time to time the female's parents (one or both) are shown, both parents have light hair and are featured as being elderly. The second half begins a celebration of love, families, gay community members and famous people, not feeling embarrassed or ashamed, and feeling special with any parents because you are loved. It's written in a very approachable style for kids, and in a relatable way for parents to share. It ends with this wonderful message:

Kekurangan buku ini rasanya nggak ada, terus kenapa aku nggak ngasih 5 bintang? Eungg, ciyus deh nggak ada yang salah, yang salah hanyalah aku baca buku ini saat lagi jomblo. Ugh.All in all, reading this biography was a weird experience. When I started reading it, I realized that I didn't know much about Maria Bello except that I had a teenage crush on her when she appeared in the ER series, when I was about 15 years old, and I still liked her, when I watched her in Coyote Ugly, but I didn't know a thing about her life until last year, when she came out in a New York Times article as a Whatever, and it made me curious. People often idolize someone, because they don't know a thing about the other person. Now, after reading this book, I feel I know too much. For the LGBTQIA+ community, Matthew and Ryan are not only the fun-loving faces of social media – they’ve become the online agony uncles for a new generation, receiving countless messages from their followers looking for answers to so many questions including:

An incredibly valuable and inclusive resource for young LGBT+ people… A much needed reminder that nobody needs to go through the queer experience alone.’ Calum McSwiggan Kamu menyukai seseorang tetapi tidak bisa menyampaikan perasaanmu itu dan malah berandai-andai kamu sedang bersamanya saat itu juga. Here's 311 Creators Participating in the Love is Love Comics Anthology for Pulse Nightclub Victims". 22 December 2016. They share their inspirational journeys – how they each found themselves and then each other. From Tinder and the moment they met across a crowded dancefloor with Matthew dressed as an ice lolly to the joyful life they’ve created together. This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soulmate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.”May I start off by saying this is in the Top 3 Books I Have Ever Read? It is. Jut wow. I am all for breaking out of molds people try to put me in. But Maria has a better idea. Put me in a box, but I determine what label goes on it. As a published author (and a Goodreads author at that), does that MAKE me an author? I write poetry as well? Am I a poet? According to Maria, it's what is in my heart, not on my W2. So yes, I am unconventional. I believe you can have a soul mate and not necessarily be married to them (see her part about partners), I believe in fate, but only to the fact that what happens is what is meant to happen based on the choices we make. The section about being Catholic.... I'm not catholic, I'm protestant. But does that even matter? I have friends that are openly gay. Does being friends with them make me a bad Christian? Before you answer that, remember that Jesus ate with both tax collectors and lepers (the outright horror, right?!) Maybe it's not within "church doctrine", but I do believe by being friends with all manner of people, you are actively demonstrating God's love. And, of course, the question every woman asks....Am I Enough?

Let me be clear, as what this graphic novel stands for and the donations towards it all this is a 10/5. This is special. This is something only goodhearted people can create. That said, I appreciate very much the frank and positive look at the use of "gay" as a pejorative and the main character's embrace of the word as accurate and a compliment, and it was surprising and refreshing to see the book express to children that some gay people still try to pretend they aren't gay because others believe gay is something to be ashamed of. Actress and activist Maria Bello made waves with her essay, “Coming Out as a Modern Family,” in the New York Times popular “Modern Love” column, in which she recalled telling her son that she had fallen in love with her best friend, a woman—and her relief at his easy and immediate acceptance with the phrase “Whatever Mom, love is love. She made a compelling argument about the fluidity of partnerships, and how families today come in a myriad of designs.Love Is Love will help you navigate your journey through the rainbow and show you how to be proud to be authentically YOU! I would love to rate this higher, but like all anthologies, and collections where people are contributing, there are some ups and downs. This anthology is for a very good cause, the victims of the nightclub shooting in Orlando. Just because I am rating it only three stars does not mean that I didn't rush out and buy it. It is important to support this sort of thing. Selain soal storyline,saya merasa bahwa ilustrasi2 Puuung-eonni cenderung repetitif dalam arti ia menggambar suatu keadaan yang terlihat berbeda namun memiliki arti yang sama maupun mirip,malah terlihat seperti kehabisan ide cerita. Her issues with men and her ability to see it more clearly over time was also interesting but a bit much. She manages to work in that she and her current female partner have great sex - I guess I needed to know that.
