❝ "When I came out to my family, my mother of course took it the
hardest. But my grandparents didn't," says Alray Nelson, a Navajo LGBT
rights activist.
"We are seeing clearly the aftereffects of what colonialism can look
like and how it really shifted our values as Navajo people," Nelson
says. "Whereas at the time, if you were LGBTQ and growing up in Navajo
traditional families, families celebrated that fact. They said that we
were sacred. They said that we had sacred roles." ❞
