Mama's Boy

Dustin Lance Black was the least likely person to become an LGBTQ activist, born into a conservative Mormon family in Texas. His mother was a polio survivor, who had endured numerous painful surgeries, and wore braces and used crutches all her life. When he was 21-years-old he came out to his mother, who scorned his "choice" as sinful, and it seemed that their relationship was doomed forever.
