I never told my parents. Yes. I didn’t get the chance nor the courage to tell them I’m gay. It was never spoken but I knew that they knew. I was the weak one. The one who always concedes. I didn’t have a backbone.

Seeing my friends now and how accepted they are within their families for who they are makes it worthwhile for me. I love seeing them be accepted and without any pre-judgment. The world is different now and my folks would have probably accepted who I am without any hesitation had I been born a few years later.

That is why the film short entitled “Summer” touched me. It hit close to home. We have come a long way – but there are kids out there that need to know that they are loved for who they are. They still struggle. They still commit suicide. We have to change that.

Watch the short film after the JUMP
