Meet the gay basketball player removed from his Kentucky high school’s yearbook (VIDEO)

Today, YouTube content creator Raymond Braun spoke with Dalton Maldonado about his recent exclusion from his high school yearbook in rural Kentucky for being gay.

Dalton attends Betsy Layne High School where he’ll be starting as senior point guard for the boys’ basketball team this coming year.  Dalton was intentionally excluded from the yearbook spread that featured all of the seniors on the boys’ basketball team.  Raymond talks to Dalton about the discrimination he has faced from his own high school administration and opposing basketball teams and how coming out strengthened his bond with his own team.

Watch above as Raymond talks to Dalton about the most recent developments in the story and how this outright discrimination has left him feeling about the upcoming school year. (Please excuse the low audio quality as the video was shot live on Google Hangout.)
