Adam Torres

Adam Torres (born Gracie) (1996-2013) was a senior (Grade 12) at Degrassi Community School. He was a female-to-male transgender teen. He was the son of Audra Torres and Omar Torres. He transferred to Degrassi with his older step-brother, Drew, to escape transphobic bullying at his old school. Adam tried to keep a low profile at first, but was forcefully exposed by Bianca and outed as a trans man. Fortunately, however, he eventually found that he could be himself and still have good friends. In Cannonball, Adam gets into a car accident while driving at night texting Becky Baker, his girlfriend at the time. Although his original prognosis showed signs of hope, he ultimately passed away during surgery in Honey.
