“I’m trying to be that black gay boy that finished college”

I’m a gay boy and I’m from San Francisco. I did get teased a lot in high school and middle school. Since I’m gay I naturally standout so I wanted to inspire other people to be different so I tend to dress different than other people. I dye my hair. My family didn’t like it at first. I guess they got used to it. Now they say I look good and it is because I am happy inside. The rejection at first hurt me inside.

It took me a while to get to where I am now. I’m going to school and I’m living on my own. My family didn’t finish college so I’m trying to be that black gay boy that finished college in my family.

I currently have a stuffed teddy bear from Build-A-Bear. His name is Zachary. I dress him up so he looks wild like me.  I change his clothes and he has a little McMansion. I don’t tell much people about that so shush.
