London said he felt the need to tell a story which would be important to troubled teens after hearing about the 2010 suicide of Tyler Clementi, an 18-year-old college freshman who took his own life after being outed as gay on Twitter by his roommate.

On Friday, London released a second clip featuring Ali, a 17-year-old transgender girl whose role model is Ellen DeGeneres.
"I really love Ellen DeGeneres," Ali says in the 3-minute clip. "She's a strong and confident woman. And she's out and proud about who she is and she doesn't care if people like it or not." (The video is embedded on this page. Visit our video library for more videos.)
