Gay Kids Need To Stop Killing Themselves

I Came Back And Decided That I Wanted To Go To College For Acting And Got My Family On Board. My Mom, Who Was A Single Mom, Was A Little Reticent, But I Think After That Summer [in The Governor's School], She Saw A Shift In Me And Realized That It Was Something I Wanted More Than Just A Hobby.

There Was No Other Concern; There Was No Other Focus [in The Governor's School]. It Was Simply There To Learn And Grow And Perform, And That Was Pretty Amazing And Informative. I'd Say That Was A Big Pivotal Moment For Me.

Other Actors Are Not My Concern, And That's Their Life And That's Their Journey. Everybody Has To Get To A Point In Their Own Time And Their Own Way.

Again, As A Gay Man I Look At That And Say There's A Hopelessness That Surrounds It, But As A Human Being I Look At It And Say 'why? Where's This Disparity Coming From, And Why Can't We As A Culture And Society Dig Deeper To Examine That?' We're Terrified Of Facing Ourselves.

I Try To Be As Fearless As Possible. I Don't Always Succeed, But I Like To Think I Try.
