have certain relationships
with the other boys
and I was like,
"Nothing's changing."
You have boundaries with
anybody that you work with
whatever you do, just because
you're gay doesn't change
the way you're gonna have
a relationship with a kid.
I showed him a
picture of the toy car
'cause a friend of ours has one
and he wanted a
rainbow car of his own.
We wanted one
because we like yours
and we just think
it's really cool.
It's something for him to
show his little friends
and perhaps help teach
other kids that everybody
should be treated equal.
There are some routes
that know me by name because
I've driven them
more than others.
I'm a substitute driver.
Most of the time the way the
conversation will happens is
they'll have conversations
among themselves.
Tallying up, giving me boy
points and girl points.
They'll talk about how,
"She sounds kind of like she's
a boy but there are all these
"other things about her that
are feminine" in so many words
then finally one or two
brave students will come up
and ask me if I'm a boy
or girl and I'll tell them
that's not the question
you should be asking.
The question you should be
asking is whether or not
you think I'm Ok to drive
this bus, whether or not
you think I can
transport you safely.
My aunt got a restraining
order against me
to keep me away from
my little cousins and
to basically keep me
from turning them gay.
I have three little cousins
who I love and adore.
They are like my
other little sisters.
We were really, really
close until then.
I also have a niece that
was like a daughter to me.
I helped raise her when
she was born, my sister's a
teenaged mother so the whole
family helped with that.
My niece was like my daughter
and it really killed me because
within the restraining order...
My whole family
lives within like
virtually a block
radius of each other.
So there is absolutely
no house on that block
that I could go to
that I wouldn't be
in violation of.
Not my parents house I
couldn't go over to anything.
Any family functions, I
could not see my grandma
who lives next
door to my parents,
my aunt who lives behind them.
We literally live in a
block radius of each other.
It was covered under
the protection that ...
And I'm not completely
sure how it was legit that
they got this order
but for some reason, the
safety of her children
was at stake because I was gay.
You guys have been
persecuted for so long.
Why shouldn't you be
allowed to educate people?
and what a great way to educate
people with a bug, the car,
kids would love it and
kids would understand
and I bet you bottom dollar
when you go in to those schools,
there are so many people
who have same parents
that they call
mommy/mommy or daddy/daddy
and people just don't know it.
I have two moms.
Sometimes I'll be in school,
I have a step mom also,
that's my dad's wife.
And they'll go around and
they'll say I have three dads.
It's Ok, it get's
annoying a little bit
but I try to get through it.
I'm on my school's
archery team
so my parents came
watch me compete.
And my friends were wondering
if my parents were there.
So I said, "Yeah my
parents are over there."
And they were like,
"Oh who are they?"
And I said, "Those are my moms."
And they were like, "Oh,
your step mom and your mom?"
And I said "No, they
are both my moms."
And they were like, "Oh!"
It can kind of be hard
because sometimes you do lose
friends or people
who you thought you
were friends with but
I guess they really
weren't your friends
in the first place if they don't
accept you and your family.
I called my mom up just
to see what she was doing
and I went to go
hang out with her.
So I come dressed up like how
I am, all manly and stuff.
And she doesn't like that.
And we were sitting on
the couch and she's all
far away and distant.
She just like, "Well I just
don't want you to hit on me!"
There's nothing I could of
said except for, "Hi mom."
I mean how does that
mean that I want to
[Erin] So you think maybe
because you like women
she just thinks in her
mind, just like how a lot
of people think, that
you're gonna hit on them?
Yeah, they think that gay
people don't have a type.
I think people do have a type.
You're my mom so of
course you're definitely
no way in hell gonna be my type.
There is no way in hell I
would find my mom attractive.
I could say my mom is
beautiful, that's different
but I'm not like,
"Damn, check out my mom!
"Look at her ass, it's so fine!"
No, I'm not gonna
do that to my mom.
I have a friend that
I grew up with that
he knew he was gay
when he was young.
Most of us kind of had the
idea but he came out the closet
when he was about 16 and
his parents
sent him on an LDS mission and
basically just told him that
if he didn't come back from
the mission and not be gay
he was gonna be cut
out of the will.
And very wealthy family,
[Erin] Did he go
on this mission?
He did go this mission,
he came back early
and didn't do the
whole two years.
And he came back
gay, imagine that.
I identify as gay.
[Erin] Oh you
do Ok, all right.
Did you come out when
you were younger?
No, it's still not
out really to family.
So if they see this,
hi, surprise, surprise!
[Erin] You found out
your son was gay recently?
Yeah, he came out
in January 2012 at 13,
which was about a
little over a year ago.
[Erin] How did he tell you?
Well we kind of discovered.
I was snooping
through his journal.
'Cause he left it out and I
He was becoming really,
really depressed
and I just had a
feeling to read it.
And he had put some
comments in there about
some boys that he
had found attractive.
And it completely threw me off.
I should have seen it coming,
knowing my son but I didn't.
So it was probably a
couple of weeks before ...
We would hint around and
"If there was ever anything
that you wanted to tell us
"feel free to tell us and
we'll love you no matter what."
And he just didn't and he
didn't and finally my husband
just asked him and he just said,
"Jordan are you having
feelings of homosexuality?"
And at the time he was
kind of leaning against me
and I had my arm around him and
I could feel him start
to tremble and start to
shake, 'cause he was crying
and I could feel him nod
but I couldn't see his face
and my husband said he never
seen a kid look more terrified.
He's this little 13 year old
boy and I had had two weeks
to kind of prepare so there
wasn't the shock for me.
And I think that was
a big blessing for us
because I could just ...
At one point I put my
hands on his cheeks
and I made him look
at me and I said,
"This changes nothing for me.
"I love you 100 percent,
we will get through this.
"I'm so proud of you,
you're a great kid.
"We'll figure this out and
we're by your side 100 percent."
