Coming Out

A student and member of IYJL recorded his conversation as he “came out” to an old friend from high school as undocumented. They end by answering the question: Does this change the way you think about immigration reform?

    This is really interesting, the way you were able to record your conversation. I feel like when I have “come out” to my friends, the conversation was very similar in that they themselves begin putting pieces together once they find out, but continue to have questions. And, of course, the questions that follow with. Thanks for sharing!
