Straight Outta Compton and Real Friends of Weho's Curtis Hamilton is living his life in full color for the first time ever, but it's not coming without worries and possible consequences. As he joins MTV's latest reality show all about gays' lives, he's dealing with newly coming out to his family who is not taking this decision easily, and assuming that he'll lose future career opportunities.
