To open this very powerful episode that shares Luis' coming out journey, we take a moment and discuss the tragic mass shooting that occurred in Orlando where 49 people had their lives cut short through a senseless hate crime. While we reflect on this tragedy, we also admire the strength, resilience, and solidarity of the beautiful LGBTQ community.
