I can't even tell you how much you've helped me. I keep "Hello, Cruel World" in my purse at all times. Thank you. So much.

Kate, you're my hero and inspiration. I hope that I can be a writer and speaker and educator with as large of an impact on others as you have had on me.

I printed off my own get out of hell free card. I came out 2 weeks ago, Wednesday. I told everyone except my mom, who is disgusted by it. I'm going to give her one of these cards, and tell her exactly as I think you would.... "Accept me for who I am, and love me like you did yesterday. If that gets you sent to hell, give him this card."

Dear Kate I attended one of your engagements held on a university campus a few years ago. It was in conjunction with a conference called Breaking the Silence. I gained more insight into the world around me from two hours in an auditorium listening to you than I received from ten long years on the Bridge. I wish I'd heard you first before I picked up those cans, it would have saved me a fortune.

I still have my get out of hell free card. Guess what? It works over and over!

Love you Kate! :)
