Here are some quotes from LGBTQIA+ books that our community members from The Nest have shared.
“We had this one precious life and what we did with it was totally up to us. I wanted to use it to love and be loved in return.”
“I felt like a peacock. A very unprepared peacock. No. A turkey dressed as a peacock. A turkey that might end up on a dinner table because, once everyone saw through the ruse of it being a peacock, they’d want to eat it. Great. Now I was strangely hungry.”
“Know you didn’t tell me perhaps the way you’d imagined, but I’m so glad to know you, son. No matter what, I will always fight for you.”
“You are as you’re supposed to be. I shouldn’t have questioned that. If there was ever perfection in this world, it would be you.”
“I have tried to dismantle you, Gideon Nav! The Ninth House poisoned you, we trod you underfoot—I took you to this killing field as my slave—you refuse to die, and you pity me! Strike me down. You’ve won. I’ve lived my whole wretched life at your mercy, yours alone, and God knows I deserve to die at your hand. You are my only friend. I am undone without you.”
“It was easier to hide behind their traditions than to challenge their own beliefs and understandings of how things in the world of the bruix worked.”
“History, huh? Bet we could make some.”
“Stripped down to it's essence, any creature will choose to save itself. Even if it means stealing the breath from another.”
“If the truth happens to make anyone look like an asshole, that's on them sweetie.”
“She was a girl made of aches and she flung her body at the world in the hopes that something, anything, might soothe the tendernesses.”
“Whatever magic tansy was made of Gemma wanted to drown in it revelled in the honeyed heat burning her from the inside out.”
“Her queerness is worthy of being respected. Her queerness is worthy of being celebrated. Her queerness just is.”
“And we loved ourselves anyway.”
