The Rainbow Kids [LGBT Love Story] (In progress)

I write this book in dedication to kids that are different from others. This book is made to raise awareness of the struggles of LGBT+ adolescents, people with mental illness, and some other life struggles people go through every day. This is a story of a gay couple, and some LGBT+ friends and ally's, in a small, religious town. LGBT+ teens have the biggest suicide rate in minority groups, and this book is here with a story I think many can relate to. It includes a story of struggles with insecurity, different mental illnesses, and how to feel not so alone. This is a message to anyone struggling with life, and I hope this helps you! <3

The story's main protagonist is a boy named Blake. (Whom I've named after myself, for his character is heavily based off me, and many struggles I've had) He's from a small town where he's felt alone for years. He is bullied on a regular basis, and has a secret. He is gay, and couldn't imagine what kids would do to him there if they found out. Until, they do. Bus surprisingly, not everyone is so hateful after all. After his worst nightmare comes true, and his secret is out, a group of teens take him in as a friend, and one takes him in as a lover. Each of them with struggles at home, school, and facing judgement in the public eye, they learn to stand up together. They start to bring kids in need of feeling accepted, loved, and cared for... Much like themselves. They are eventually known, as "The Rainbow Kids." Spreading love as it should be spread, and tackling their own demons along the way.
