    Summary

    “I turned the other cheek every fucking time. I still got tossed on my ass the second I went too far over the line, and threatened by the commissioner, and told to kill myself on just about every social media platform because my nightmare that I’d get outed came true. And you, after everything you did, got to come out to a supportive team and fans, get a slap on the wrist, and have your happy fucking ending.”

    Or:

    An exploration of Shane Hollander's struggle against racism and homophobia in hockey, and how others come to understand it

    Summary

    It’s a difficult concept for Shane to grasp, taking up space like that. Birthday parties are always so loud and demanding of everyone’s attention, and Shane doesn’t know how to handle it, always stressed that people don’t actually want to be there or are just patronising him. The idea that people want to get together to celebrate Shane, besides his parents and husband, is completely foreign to him. The idea that his hockey team would show up for his birthday is incomprehensible.

    Two birthday wishes Shane makes, and how they come true (and one time Ilya threatens a bunch of ten-year-olds)

    A broken heart can recognize another broken heart from across the room.
    —Yiddish proverb

    Noelia is the 8-year-old who comes to the Hollander-Rozanov residence wearing a bright yellow dress, two braids tied with red ribbons, and a pair of dirty white sneakers, with her mother Isabel one spring morning. Her mom is the cleaning lady Shane hired right after they moved into their new house in Ottawa.

    Summary

    Yuna Hollander stares at the diamond engagement ring in slight horror as her husband laughs silently next to her on the couch. Her five year old son stares back at her with his doe eyes on her other side.

    “I'm sorry, sweetie,” she asks as calmly as possible, “did you say a boy gave this to you?”

    Or, a near lifetime from Yuna's eyes.
