Starfarers by Vonda MacIntyre

The treatment of same sex partners in the story was just mater of fact, these are love affairs same as any other. She made it feel just like a natural thing, and progressive for the time it was written. I read it when I was still in high school in 1992.

It taught me to be acceptance of everyone, and eventually myself.
