Kyle McElwain, “I’m From Salt Lake City, UT”
(TRIGGER WARNING: Homophobic slurs, discussion of homophobic violence)
A violent bullying experience at school makes Kyle question his coming out at such a young age. His loving and accepting mother gives him the needed support.
NOTE: Kyle’s mom, Gay Lynn, recounts her version of this story in her written story with IFD. Check it out here.
