After Standing Up to Abusive Father, Gay Immigration Lawyer Dedicates His Career to Helping Others.

Growing up in Houston, Texas, Will Strom stood out among others for his love of purple and affinity for short shorts. While these things made him happy, it drew negative attention from his peers - as well as his father, a homophobic divorced alcoholic. When his father moved to a remote town in Colorado and the custody agreement required Will to spend six weeks there each summer, the situation went from bad to worse.
Eventually, Will reached a limit and, in one particularly tense phone call, finally stood up to his father, essentially ending any meaningful relationship. By advocating for himself, Will quickly learned that he could advocate for others - and did so as an adult, working as an immigration lawyer on behalf of LGBTQIA+ people seeking asylum in the United States.
