The path is not always a straight line. And you don't need to do it alone.
Reporter: And sharing something deeply personal. Publicly. For the very first time. How is it for a young man to have to stand up and say, you know what? I was raped.
Being gay. Being African-American. It's definitely something that -- I never imagined would happen to me.
Reporter: When was the first time you were victim?
