“#Hellomynameis Brendan Jordan (@jordvnhaus) and I am 15 years old. I was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada to a half-Peruvian family. Last year, I was in a video that went viral. I was dancing in the background of a newscast. It was very overwhelming. I battled a lot of threats. But there were also people who wanted to know more about who that flamboyant boy behind the camera was — who he really was. That’s when I started sharing myself on social media, talking about the things I believe in, standing up for what I believe in, and showing the world who I truly am: a 15 year old who is happy with himself. I post sometimes about my makeup looks, and I want my followers to think to themselves: 'Oh, it's a boy wearing makeup. I'm a boy and I want to wear makeup. Why can't I do that?’” Photo by @MileyCyrus for #happyhippiepresents #instapride
