Because it matters not which sexual direction we are forced into by nature, which religion we believe in, or from which ethnic background we come from, we all remain human beings.This Active story, built around a real person, is an invaluable insight for those who prefer to discriminate before understanding and accepting that humans are just one huge melting-pot of diverse emotions, colours, beliefs, and sexual feelings.It will entertain the reader whilst giving the reader a sense of affinity to those who exist in such minorities. Who are bullied and terrorised for their diversities, are forced to hide their true identities, but still manage to put smiles on our faces, entertain us and prove to us through their art, how wrong we all are to discriminate against those who are different?
