Amanda's Diary: Girlfriend
Amanda's family is Catholic. Amanda is gay. And she's having a hard
time getting her parents to understand that this is not just a phase.
"When I was in the first grade, I remember one day we were playing a
game that was kind of like Sleeping Beauty where like the prettiest
girl on the block fell asleep on a picnic bench. And you know,
somebody had to go and wake her up, to like, kiss her and revive her
and it would always be one of the boys. And I always felt like I
wanted to go and revive her."
Amanda's Diary was part of the Teenage Diaries series produced by Joe
Richman/Radio Diaries. The series was originally broadcast on NPR's
