Cory Allen is the author of “Breaking Free: A Saga of Self-Discovery by a Gay Secret Service Agent.” While in the Secret Service, he was on Michelle Obama’s detail. His new memoir details his journey — working one of America’s most hyper masculine jobs while also discovering himself as a gay man. He sits down with Queerty contributor Jordan Gonsalves to discuss how his turbulent childhood led him to the secret service, when he faced discrimination, and the impact his story has had on others.

“Breaking Free: A Saga of Self-Discovery by a Gay Secret Service Agent” is available on Amazon, Audible, and everywhere books are sold.
