Where I Fit In
This is the story of Doug Stevenson
Doug recently moved back to his family home in Virginia and regularly visits his mom in the nearby town of Luray. Doug was ridiculed for his weight and struggled with his sexuality growing up. When his dad discovered his being gay, he got kicked out and later attempted suicide. After he got help, he came to accept himself fully and live a happy life. Doug has a bachelor’s in bioinformatics and will soon be going back for his master’s degree at the Virginia Tech MIT program. Today, Doug is a strong activist of human and animal rights. He recently lost his beloved Dalmatian, Blitz, to bladder stones. He credits the love and loss of Blitz to helping him turn a corner with his own health. Doug is currently awaiting his surgery date for a gastric sleeve after which he hopes to become more active in his community, supporting gay and human rights, as well as adopting another puppy and searching for his soul mate.
