Although diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, six-year-old Haley Haralson could read and write so well that he skipped the first and second grade. Before he was out of elementary school, he could repair computers and do complicated math problems in his head. Before long, he had his own computer-repair business. In the evenings, he would stand by the streetlight and wait for customers to pick him up for repair jobs. At twelve, he slipped away from home and moved in with Fiona, a lady who ran a bordering house for college boys. After his freshman year in college, he disappeared. His parents learned that Fiona had him declared ?of age? and adopted him as her own son. He changed his name and severed all links with relatives, who never saw him again.

Fired from the faculty of Primrose University (PU) because he is not gay, Cyril McCoy, with wavy red hair and green eyes, is an artist whose artwork is prized by the very people whose taunts and jeers make his life miserable. A regular contributor to the Primrose Sperm Bank, Cyril takes consolation from the large number of red-haired children--many with green eyes--in Primrose, a majority LGBT city. When his wife Joyce Coral was out of town, Cyril's brother-in-law Joseph Aerie came over to show off his latest thirteen-year-old boy companion, red-haired, green-eyed Craig Kerjack, to stay overnight. While Cyril was humiliated by Joseph's visit, he found Craig charming and intelligent, and the two formed an immediate platonic friendship. When the ex-husband of Joseph's sister claimed that his ex-wife was "not much of a woman, possibly not a woman at all," Joyce Coral, Cyril's former girlfriend, was plunged into a deep depression. To rehabilitate her and prove the ex-husband wrong, Cyril married her. Years later, when Joseph Aerie remarked to Cyril that Joyce Coral was a transexual, the result of a botched circumcision. For Cyril, who had spent his life trying to be straight in a predominantly LGBT society, this was the ultimate humiliation. He then suffered a mental breakdown resulting in an extended coma. Eventually regaining consciousness, Cyril found Craig at his bedside, and both realized that Craig is Cyril's biological son
