After finding strength by reading Outsports stories on gay athletes, this high school wrestler wants to share his story. Because of his parents, he has to attend therapy and come out anonymously. The wrestler's parents forbade Hunter from coming out to anyone else. They told him he would have to go to a conversion therapist every week. That therapist would spend two years trying to convince him that he wasn't gay. Telling his story is a reminder that coming out is still a difficult process for many.
