“We’re suppose to hate who we are, despise it.”
Cameron Post’s life was changed in the course of a few days when her parents died after recently discovering she was gay. Later, her Aunt Ruth sends her to a Christian camp to “cure” her of her homosexuality. While Cameron’s not the most politically active teenager in the world, she can’t help but disagree with what the counselors and “therapists” are telling her. Cameron struggles for truth and dignity, knowing there is more to this world than fear and hatred.
PRR Writer, Christopher Lee
