Publisher's Synopsis
Being gay in a heteronormative society is hard, even if you're so far in the closet you don't remember what sunlight looks like. In Remember When Gay Meant Happy? Raven is a teenage girl who is perfectly content with her closeted life. Everything changes, though, when Ophelia moves to town. Because of Ophelia, Raven learns not only of how accepting the world can be and how wonderful love can be when you begin to accept it, but how cruel it can be with its hate crimes and lack of acceptance from those she cares about. Remember When Gay Meant Happy? is a tale of love and loss with all the twists and turns of being a teenage lesbian. It's the story of rejection and acceptance, of keeping your spirits up even when it feels like everything is falling down around you. It shows how family can be not just who you were born to, but who you find to support and love you
