Because I have never asked for anything more than the safety of my brother and sister, yet all we get is tolerance at best and downright hatred at worst. I've watched my family crumble and not been able to do anything about it. People don't think of us as being human. They don't care if we live and live well as long as their needs are fulfilled."-Francesca May, Wild and Wicked Things
