"I came out last summer to my mom at home. I decided to come out to her because I'm really close to her and I didn't want to lie to her anymore. She rejected that at first," he relates. "She was not surprised, she had that fear that I might be gay. She told me she would support me in whatever I am, but I know she's not totally supportive because she asked me whether I'm interested in seeing a psychologist to see whether I'm really gay or not. But I knew that wouldn't work, I was totally sure."
