Written at a time in British history when the age of consent for homosexuals was 5 years older than heterosexuals, Legislation called Section 28 prohibited schools and local authorities from depicting homosexual relationships as an acceptable view of family life. While school was the setting for romance with Mr. Popular, John Westhead, Steven spent his life at home telling his parents what they wanted to hear. When fortune takes an unexpected turn, Steven discovers his feelings towards John are reciprocated. In order to discover "it gets better", sometimes ya gotta get angry!
