Today we are talking to a teen who would not take "no" for an answer. 17-year-old Tyler Johnson goes to Tully High School near Syracuse, New York. He had been honored with a profile in the school publication but when he came out as gay and shared about how he had overcome bullying and depression, the principal censored him.
