By Jess BazalduaWeb Content Contributor When I think back to my childhood, I can vividly remember the realistic magic, the epic fantasy tales and the blatant heterosexual couples that would get together by the end of every story.

By Timia CobbWeb Content Contributor The saying is, blood is thicker than water, but that isn’t always the case.
