additional issues
A man recalls a time when he considered taking his own life, but there are positive reassurances that he is no longer suicidal. Discriminatory terms ('tranny', 'coon', 'negro') are used infrequently, however any discrimination is clearly challenged. There is brief buttock nudity. Allusions are made to child sexual abuse a person has suffered, but there is little detail given, and there are infrequent verbal references to sexual violence. People discuss mental health issues, and a man talks about grieving for the death of his mother. Brief references are made to drug dealing.
