“I was thinking about kids. I was getting notes from kids who knew I was gay or assumed I was, because of something they had read on the Web. And they were kids who were distraught. They thought they couldn’t achieve anything. They were seeing the national discourse around it and feeling isolated and depressed,” Cook said.

He added, “I just thought — I’ve got to do something … [I’ve got to show] that it’s not a limiter. It’s okay to be [gay]. That it’s ok, to be honest about it. I figured if I could help one person, it would be worth it.
