Imagine having the courage to come out as a lesbian to your homophobic parents, only to be kicked out of the house. Now, imagine your own sibling refusing to let you move in with them. This is the reality for ‘Amanda’ (17F), who finds herself in a heartbreaking situation after revealing her truth to her family. Her brother (23M) had previously advised her to wait until she was an adult with an income before telling their parents, but Amanda couldn’t wait any longer. Now, she’s left with nowhere to go, and her brother is questioning if he’s in the wrong for not taking her in.
