I changed the gay urban community because of the NOH8 Campaign. For years in middle school through high school I've experienced bullying and hate in the worse way possible verbally for being an African American gay teenager. I thought I would never escape those horrible times getting into fights defending myself for my gay rights. I posed because I wanted to bring awareness to young black homosexual men that are going through hard times & I felt I wasn't being true to myself and I decided to change my life for the better of the LGBT community. Instead of a professional shoot I decided demonstrate true authenticity for my very own creative and custom NOH8 verified portrait. I've been advocating the meaning and equality rights that NOH8 has been promoting for years through social media and it's changed my life in so many ways thanks to NOH8.
After discovering the movement of the NOH8 campaign I had a whole different perspective on life and everything around me started to change. As the months went by I began to embrace who I really was to the world I only knew. It was only the beginning when I began to research more into the LGBT community. I began learning so much about what it truly means to be a happy gay man in America. After graduating high school in 2015 I decided that it was time to finally face my truth with my friends and family about my sexual preference. No only to my friends but to the social media world that once haunted me because I was gay. I shared my coming out story with the world and because of believing in the NOH8 movement I've become a top urban LGBT Public Figure for young gay teenagers dealing with depression and suicide about being gay. I write this to say because of NOH8 I have completely changed the young urban gay community doing my public lectures , published articles & LGBT organizations because of being inspired by this cause. Thank you so much I love you sincerely NOH8 Campaign
