Yes, the 'guy who got his mom to read his Grindr messages' has a name. Most of you know it by now. For those who don't, this is Riyadh Khalaf. And he's using his burgeoning platform to promote a campaign close to his heart. We'll let him do the talking in this latest post 'Make History - End Marriage Inequality.'
Speaking of the video, the vlogger said: "This vote is not just about Marriage Equality; it’s about the everyday homophobia and discrimination that is reinforced by a state which sees it’s LGBT citizens as lesser than others. In this video I tell my story and the battle of adolescence as I discovered who I was. I tried to change, to hide my sexuality from the world and to ‘cure’ myself of something that should never be seen as a sickness. I now love myself and who I’ve become. I want the ability to share that love with a life partner. Allow me and thousands of others to marry by voting YES on May 22nd."
