Recovering Homophobe

How does one go from being a severely depressed, homophobic, suicidal teen to being an empowered and passionate leader in the LGBTQ community? Tune in to this week’s episode of The brave Files to meet Mason Aid, who has done just this! In this episode, Mason shares their story of being a troubled teen with suicidal tendencies, living in a deeply conservative and religious small town and hiding who they truly are from everyone, even themself. Mason has gone through the darkest of times and many of the people around them had given up on Mason’s future. But with determination, a lot of hard work and the loving support of their parents, Mason overcame and is now a mentor to kids venturing down the same possible path.
