Society & Culture
Mark Young is 22 years old and, like most LGBT kids, he had a hard time in high school and coming out to his parents. Not long after he graduated, Mark found his voice and he took his love for theater and hit the road to LA, where he is now a successful model, photographer and social media influencer. Everyone's story is different and not everyone experiences positive life changes when they are coming out. Some don't have a choice, some are outed by others. Some LGBT youth are rejected by their family and no place else to go. If you need help, there are resources available... you can call, chat or text with someone now at thetrevorproject.org.
