"The traumas that we suffer from as we grow have a huge impact on who we are as adults," King said. So in February 2019, King, who lives in Arizona, began doing livestreams where he would answer questions from his followers - many of them LGBTQ youth and young adults - and creating videos to share his advice and aspects of his life story, from his 24-year relationship to his sobriety. "When I joined TikTok, there was definitely the sense that it was a young-adult app," he said, and "I knew right away that these were teenagers asking, and I had a responsibility." King, now a verified creator on the platform, said he knew he was onto something when the comment sections on his page started to fill up with questions about coming out, LGBTQ relationships and confidence in one's own identity. "The amount of people that are seeing my face, that are engaging with these videos I'm creating," he said, "really put me in awe."
