Corey is in his early 20s and recognized and accepted his own sexuality early on in his youth. As a young man, Corey experienced the pains and hardships of being sent away to military school, being alone in his self-recognition, and being disowned by his parents (his adoptive, Christian parents, nonetheless). Despite these hardships and incredible struggles, Corey remains true to himself and stands strong against bending and flexing to fit into the boxes that his family and society suggest he must.

His journey to becoming his authentic self has required years of code-switching between being the Corey that everyone wanted him to be and being the Corey who he knew he was, deep inside. As a youth, he was never able to openly identify and it wasn't until high school that he found the courage and determination to be himself. Come hear Corey's Story and learn about how this incredible young man conquered a tremendous amount of judgment, hate, and nonacceptance to become the proud and strong gay man that he is now.
