James wanted to honor and celebrate National Coming Out Day by sharing his story and so we are sharing this video.

Hat tip for this post: The Trevor Project is the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer & questioning youth.
