Borges made a video simply last month for the "It Gets Better" project, a campaign that features actual hope-filled videos to LGBT teens to get them through difficult times.
"I differentiate it is hard and I know what it feels like to be rejected and abused for your biological sexual situation," Borges said in the video.
Borges talks about being bullied from kindergarten through hilarious school.
