A. T. Weaver is a great-grandmother who lives with her cats, Cleopatra and Kiyah, in downtown Kansas City, MO. When she was growing up, the word gay meant happy and carefree and homosexuals were called queer or 'one-of-those'. However, she never heard those terms until she was married and a mother. In 2003, through a TV show called Boy Meets Boy, A.T 'met' over 3,000 gay men in a Yahoo group. These men educated her as to the inequalities suffered by the LGBT community and she became a staunch ally and began writing books about gay men with happy endings.
