Alex Medina: Fortunate to have a loving family

At 17, Alex Medina is the youngest of Mario and Candelaria Medina’s four children, with whom they form a very united family. Two years ago he decided to come out of the closet and spoke to his parents, who assured him that their love for him would never change.
