Quotes from Joe Kort

Growing up gay is still a very isolating and annihilating experience for too many young people. While you are a gay little boy, our society—in its classrooms, its playgrounds, its religious institutions—has no place for you and doesn't want you to exist. You are erased. A gay little boy doesn't know who he can turn to, doesn't know who to trust. He hears people whispering, he watches TV, and he realizes how unsafe the world can be if you don't fit in.

As a therapist, in doing no harm, we need to honor where the client is at.
