Curtis Hamilton is sacrificing his career

Straight Outta Compton and Real Friends of Weho's Curtis Hamilton is living his life in full color for the first time ever, but it's not coming without worries and possible consequences. As he joins MTV's latest reality show all about gays' lives, he's dealing with newly coming out to his family who is not taking this decision easily, and assuming that he'll lose future career opportunities. Still, it's worth it, he says, to represent black queer people who aren't often seen on reality TV.

Listen to him talk about how he got involved without being publicly out, what he says to the haters of the show, and more!
