Last week, snowboarder and filmmaker Tanner Pendelton came out as gay during an interview with Torment. And now, four other snowboarders: Kennedi Deck, Chad Unger, Jill Perkins and Jake Kuzyk have all come out as members of the LGBTQ+ community in interviews with Torment.
In her Torment interview, Kennedi said: “I knew I was gay when I was 13. I never really knew anything about gay people, and I sort of just thought everyone liked everyone.
I was mistaken. “The first person I ever told was my childhood best friend. Swinging on the swing at our elementary school I blurted out the words, ‘I’M GAY.’ To my surprise, he didn’t care at all.
