Esta obra recoge la información obtenida en persona por la Autora. Las historias son verídicas, pero la identidad de los entrevistados ha sido cuidadosamente protegida. Los entrevistados aceptaron su participación voluntaria sin recibir ninguna ganancia ahora, antes o después de publicado el libro, y solamente con el deseo de traer un gran beneficio a la sociedad y que existan cambios Universales en el tratamiento que reciben los homosexuales. En la elaboración de este libro se ha tratado de conservar en la medida de lo posible, la manera de hablar de los entrevistados y mantener un lenguaje de índole familiar. Los deseos de la Autora son de crear consciencia y comprensión en los padres, familiares, amigos y conocidos para todos los seres humanos dentro de la comunidad lesbiana, gay, bisexual o transexual (LGBT), que todos hemos sido creados en forma humana y con el gran privilegio del libre albedrio. Podemos escoger las normas estipuladas por los hombres y las Iglesias, o regirnos por las leyes estipuladas del Gran Creador, “que nos amemos los unos a los otros”, sin distinguir clase, raza, o genero. Y UN MENSAJE para que ningún ser humano termine su vida terrenal por haber sido despreciado al unir su vida con otro del mismo sexo.
