The LGBTQ Story Archive "I'm From Driftwood" posted three new stories of LGBT individuals that GLAAD met with on the Southern Stories Tour this summer.
Eric Snyder is a gay 17-year-old from upstate New York, who was tired of hiding a part of his identity. A member of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) since he was five, Eric was not open about being gay until recently, because he did not have much support at school, in his community, or even in his Scouting troop.
Richard Socarides, former advisor on gay rights to Bill Clinton, talks with I'm from Driftwood about coming out to his father, Dr. Charles W. Socarides, M.D. who was one of the founders of the theories behind so called "ex-gay therapy."
