Inspired to Come Out

As a Queer Latino who didn’t come out until I was 22 years old, I later understood that in life I would come out again, and again, and again. This is the story of how I was outed in high school, and how I came out to my parents. I recorded this video at the start of Pride month, and at a time in which the Human Rights Campaign had just shared that we are in a “State of Emergency” for Queer Americans. While it is a scary time to be openly a part of the LGBTQ+ community, I know it is important for our stories to be heard, and here is mine. Thank you for listening.
