Singer-songwriter Richard Cortez, 25, has posted a YouTube video of himself describing the pain he suffered after coming out as gay in middle school.
“I’m here to tell you that it gets better,” says Cortez, who grew up and lives in Broward County. “I love my life today and if you were to ask me how I felt about it when I was in grade school, I would have told you a much different story.”
Watch Cortez’s video, made in reaction to the recent suicides of Tyler Clementi and other gay young men.
