Corey Jacobson is the current board president of CR Pride in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. CR Pride's mission: "To create opportunities for awareness, inclusivity and visibility of LGBTQIA+ individuals within our community."  Corey and I discussed the community as a whole, his coming out story as a cisgender gay male. The importance of community was at the forefront of our conversation. Corey wanted to make sure everyone is aware that the LGBTQ community deals with the same problems everyone else does, and how important inclusion is. We also discussed Corey's personal struggles with his body image (body dysmorphia) and his current relationship with his body.
