Growing to love oneself is a journey for most anyone. But this was especially the truth for
Jerrod La Rue when he was a boy growing up in Palmdale, California. Despite having a loving pair of parents, others designated him as being gay before he even had a concept of his own sexuality. By the team he reached high school, he was dodging violence for being bisexual as well as for being Black.
