Confessions of a Gay Man
Derek Smith

I know. The title is so unappealing. However, after talking to people. I feel like I personally need to get some things off my chest. Below is a list of all the things I need to confess.

  • I hate hate hate hate hate the fact that I can be fired because of my sexuality.
  • I feel like myself and anyone who is like me is not accepted in my hometown. It is hard to call it home, when you feel pushed out.
  • College has given me the strength to stand up for what I believe in.
  • I have a lot of fake friends. Not people who are fake. People I allow to believe we are friends. However, I can’t stand them.
  • My brain is theatrical. I imagine myself as characters and wish I was them such as, Regina (Evil Queen), Blaine Anderson, Beyoncé, and Christina Aguilera.

  • I wish more people like Joan Rivers existed, it made the world understand how awful and stupid it was.

  • I hate that the arts are under-appreciated by the general public in public schools.
  • I hate people who push their beliefs on others.

  • I hate how Mike Pence has basically stripped the power from Glinda Ritz because he knows she is right.

  • I feel like there are more people that let me down every day than keep their word.
  • I feel like keeping a child’s love is more than just showing up once every 27th event.
  • If people really cared about family, we would all be together more than just 3 holidays.
  • Money and property does not make you more important to a family than anyone else. It makes you a jerk if you flaunt it and oppress others from the same.
  • I had a crush on my old young guard instructor.
  • I hate being told what to read. I understand and learn more when I read freely and read about what I want to read about.

  • I will gladly smile to your face and internally rip your heart out, if I truly don’t like you.
  • I feel like my kindness and willingness to help is taken advantage of.
  • I feel like there are people meant to speak who don’t and people who speak who shouldn’t.
  • I feel like hard work does not always pay off.
  • I have learned not to get too attached to anything because it can leave just as fast as you found it.
  • I feel like people sometimes place too high of goals on others.
