Children Quote by Andrew Solomon

“When I was growing up, I kept hoping that I wasn't really gay because I wanted to have children. I went through a long, tortured period, so the fact that I have been able to be true to myself and have a family has been the nicest surprise of my adulthood.” quote by Andrew Solomon — Download Open image
