"Fairy"

I never realized exactly how badly the people of the time of Sammy Clay treated homosexuality. You honestly had to live in fear of expressing how you truly are in hopes of not being arrested, beaten, and scolded wherever you went. What if the world was full of homosexuals who treated straight people that way? It's pretty messed up how people treat others badly just because of their sexual orientation. Some people say that it's "against god's word" and crap like that. Even if it is against your god's word, then he will deal with them when they die and they will rot in hell like they said. But that is no reason for people to treat them badly. Someone being gay does not affect anyone around them, and half the time you wouldn't even know if someone was gay unless they told you or you saw them with their partner. I am glad that people are growing more and more accepting that everyone is equal and that homosexuality is nothing to be frowned upon. Sam Clay was a very tough person to be able to suppress his feelings for most of his life in order to be their for Rosa and Tommy, a very tough person.
