Damon Miller was in Grade 8 when everyone at his school learned he was gay. A female friend, sick of rumours that she was dating Miller, let his secret out.
The gossip quickly spread through his junior high school, subjecting Miller to frequent torment from bullies. One day, a group of them followed Miller home and beat him behind his apartment.
"Oh my God, I'm going to die," Miller thought as he lay in the alley. The abuse didn't end there.
