Matthew Argame and Marvin Flores have been friends since seventh grade. They live in California, where they recently graduated from college. A few weeks ago, they made a last-minute decision to visit Chicago. While here, they wandered into the StoryCorps booth at the Chicago Cultural Center where Matthew talked about coming out to his parents a few days before the trip.
