Last month while producing the special show about Matthew Shepard, I found a YouTube video produced by a young actor from Canada, Denis Theriault. I ended up interviewing Denis for the special about Matthew and talked with him about how Matthew’s story impacted his life. I invited him back this month to share more about his story coming out and his pursuit of a career in acting. Denis is a great guy and wonderful role model. I thought his coming out story about telling him mother is one of the best I’ve heard. Denis also shares his passion for film and movie making as well as how he was motivated to start his own YouTube channel.
We also have an “it gets better” message sent to us by one of our listeners, Aaron Allbright. He’s written a book about his life with his partner and is donating the proceeds to the Trevor Project. If you would like to share your own “it gets better” message, all you have to do is record your message and send it to us in an MP3 format.
