In a dark and horrible abyss of vitriolic homophobia and hatred, 15-year-old Michigan teenager Corey Nichols was incredibly lucky to survive and found a bright light. His parents didn’t just hate gays, they were violently anti-gay. He got drunk, got sick and eventually became delirious and suicidal. His parents ignored him because gay. After chatting to his friend, her mother saw the messages, rescued him and nursed him back to health. His best friend’s parents eventually adopted him. LOVE WON.
