Pride and Joy — Karen Lee

Max is looking forward to his first Pride and he's excited to be attending it with his best friend Dylan. When it seems like Dylan isn't going to show up, Max starts to rethink his feelings about the boy he's fallen for until everything he's hoped for becomes a reality.

The Helping Hands project is Featherweight Press's way of giving back to the community and helping those in need. These stories feature LGBT teens and issues they face. Some are contemporary stories that that deal with their sexuality and the issues around it, while others simply feature LGBT youth. There's a little bit of something for everyone. For every story published under the Helping Hands banner, its author and editor royalties are donated to a charity that helps LGBT youth that the author chooses.
