NICKELODEON HONORS KANSAS CITY'S ZACHARY MALLORY AS THE HALO EFFECT AWARD RECIPIENT FOR OCTOBER

NEW YORK - Oct. 2, 2014 - As part of Nickelodeon's ongoing commitment to encourage young people to take positive action in their communities, the network today announced Zachary Mallory of Kansas City, Mo., as its October HALO Effect award recipient. Selected for his work as a gay rights youth activist, Mallory will be featured in a short on-air profile airing on TeenNick and highlighted on TeenNick.com throughout the month. In addition, HALO Effect will award a $5,000 grant to The Trevor Project, a charity chosen by Mallory.

HALO Effect is a year-round initiative that recognizes one deserving teen every month for their work to help and lead others (HALO) in their community. The initiative was first announced by Nick Cannon, creator, host and executive producer of the annual HALO Awards, during the live broadcast in November 2013. This month marks the tenth HALO Effect award that Nickelodeon has distributed.

Mallory, 18, has already overcome many challenges, including coming out as gay at the age of 14 and enduring bullying, discrimination and threats due to his status as a LGBTQIA youth. After surviving those struggles and an attempted suicide, Mallory dedicated himself to becoming a youth activist for gay rights and a peer mentor with The Trevor Project, an organization that provides crisis and suicide prevention to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning young people.

As part of his activism, Mallory helped form a branch of the Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) group at his school in Independence, Mo., creating a friendlier and more inclusive environment at his high school for LGBTQIA students. He also participated in this year's Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) rally in Washington, D.C., which promoted the passage of the Safe School Improvement Act, and attended the "Born Brave" youth retreat at Camp Hi-Rock which was hosted by Lady Gaga's Born This Way Foundation.

Mallory remains active in his community as the Youth Outreach Intern for PerformOutKC, the only LGBTQIA Performing Arts group in the Kansas City metro area, and he continues to work with organizations such as LIKEME Lighthouse, a community center for LGBT people in Kansas City, and the Kansas City Anti-Violence Project.

Openly Gay Kids Share Their Stories In "Nick News With Linda Ellerbee" Special "Coming Out", Premiering Tuesday 7th October 2014 On Nickelodeon USA

Nickelodeon has announced in the following press release, from The Futon Critic, that Nickelodeon USA will premiere and show the latest brand new "Nick News with Linda Ellerbee" special episode, called "Coming Out", on Tuesday 7th October 2014 at 8:00pm (ET/PT). Airing the week of the 26th National Coming Out Day, the special will follow the everyday lives of gay kids as they face fear, acceptance, bullying, isolation, encouragement and ignorance, and shows how straight and non-straight teens can come together to triumph over bullying.

Original Nickelodeon Press Release:

OPENLY GAY KIDS SHARE THEIR STORIES IN NICK NEWS WITH LINDA ELLERBEE: "COMING OUT," PREMIERING TUESDAY, OCT. 7, AT 8 P.M. (ET/PT) ON NICKELODEON

NEW YORK, Oct. 2, 2014 - Openly gay kids share their personal stories and experiences in a brand-new Nick News With Linda Ellerbee half-hour special, "Coming Out," premiering Tuesday, Oct. 7, at 8:00 p.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon. Airing the week of the 26th National Coming Out Day, the special follows the everyday lives of gay kids as they face fear, acceptance, bullying, isolation, encouragement and ignorance, and shows how straight and non-straight teens can come together to triumph over bullying.

"It takes bravery for a kid to come out," says Ellerbee. "Being accepted by straight people is not a given. Being young and 'different' is not easy. This may be tough to talk about, or hear about, but this is important stuff. Not addressing it doesn't make it go away."

"In elementary school, I knew I was different from the other guys," says Bradley, 16. "When I realized I was gay, the biggest problem I faced was wondering if my family would accept me or not. I'd heard stereotypes about families kicking their kids out and I was wondering, 'Oh gosh that might be me.'"

"I'll take a chance. With one heart-wrenching throwback out of this closet, I'll say the words I've been meaning to say my whole life. I'm lesbian," says Christine, 14.

"Coming out isn't going to be a one-time thing. You're going to meet new people every day, says Lia, 16. "You're going to always have that burning question in the back of your head: Am I going to come out today? Am I going to come out tomorrow?"

"I'm not a special case," Marcel, 13, said. "There are many people who are my age, and are gay. And you (kids) can say, 'Well, I don't know any gay people.' You probably do, but they're probably not out to you."

Nick News, produced by Lucky Duck Productions, is now in its 23rd year and is the longest-running kids' news show in television history. It has built its reputation on the respectful and direct way it speaks to kids about the important issues of the day. Over the years, Nick News has received more than 21 Emmy nominations and recently won its tenth Emmy Award for Forgotten But Not Gone: Kids, HIV & AIDS in the category of Outstanding Children's Nonfiction Program. Additional Emmy wins for outstanding children's programming include: Under the Influence: Kids of Alcoholics (2011); (The Face of Courage: Kids Living with Cancer (2010); Coming Home: When Parents Return from War (2009); The Untouchable Kids of India (2008); Private Worlds: Kids and Autism (2007); Never Again: From the Holocaust to the Sudan (2005); Faces of Hope: The Kids of Afghanistan (2002) and What Are You Staring At? (1998). In addition, in 1995, the entire series won the Emmy. In 2009, Nick News was honored with the Edward R. Murrow Award for best Network News Documentary for Coming Home: When Parents Return from War - the first-ever kids' television program to receive this prestigious award. Nick News has also received three Peabody Awards, including a personal award given to Ellerbee for explaining the impeachment of President Clinton to kids, as well as a Columbia duPont Award and more than a dozen Parents' Choice Awards.
