We met Jason in Las Vegas back in October, when the media was in full swing of focusing on gay bullying and suicides. We noticed a shift in stories people wanted to share, many talking about their own bullying and near-suicide experiences.

Vegas was also the same place we filmed Ace's story, the Deaf gay man who stood up to his bullies with great success.
