"Each half of that couple, by the simple defiant act of holding the other one's hand, is choosing to face a hateful world and telling their partner, 'I'm with you no matter what they say or do.' It is a statement you won't understand because your first love was never ruined by your own parents and friends, and turned into a porn film or a religious offense. It's a gesture whose gravity you don't get because nobody ever stared at you with so much malice and contempt for simply walking with someone you care for."
