Scott McGlynn is an influencer, most known for his podcast and his massive Instagram following. In the modern era of social media, you may think he has it all. However, he still struggles with the lingering affects of his childhood. Twenty years ago Scott came out publicly as gay and was met with negativity from the offset.
