Coming Out Colton

Colton’s next chapter begins as he opens up to his mom and plans for more conversations. Also, friend and Olympian Gus Kenworthy offers his advice.

As Colton preps to speak to his high school coach, former NFL players Michael Sam, David Kopay and Esera Tuaolo share their stories as gay athletes.

In Nashville, Colton bonds with country radio host Cody Alan, but the pressure of mixing and mingling at a party gives him pause.

Colton reflects on his relationship with God, shares his truth with faith-based friends and connects with members of the Metropolitan Community Church.

After a series of private conversations, Colton decides to publicly come out on TV. In NYC, he visits the historic Stonewall Inn with his dad and Gus.

A wave of backlash serves as a painful reminder of Colton's past choices. In response, he turns to friends and mentors to pave the way toward healing.
