Early life

Morgan grew up in the suburbs of Saint Louis. His family was deeply religious, attending an Assemblies of God church. In an interview with The Advocate , Morgan said he figured out early on he is gay, and he fasted and prayed asking God to "fix" him. Eventually, he came out to his parents and sister, hoping they could assist him in "obeying God" by not being gay. He spoke of a slow process and eventual turning point he and his family underwent before ultimately realizing Morgan was exactly as God made him. [3]
