Even though I’m fortunate enough to have a loving and supportive family, many have to fend for themselves. Especially where I’m from — Salt Lake City, Utah, the utopia for strong Mormon families. it’s very hard to see these struggling teens. In the past year I have already helped numerous boys become more comfortable with their sexuality, and as I have conversations with these teens, a year later they have become happier with themselves and their families. It is a great feeling to know that I helped these people and they are living happier lives.—Maxwell P. (Salt Lake City, UT)
