“I was living in Las Vegas. Partying a lot. Was trying to be a DJ. Doing lots of drugs, X, Acid, MDMA, Alcohol. They tried to guilt trip me into living with my grandmother. She runs a bunch of women’s shelters. My Mom is emotionally distant and my step dad is very aggressive. They are Catholic and Jehovah’s Witnesses and don’t like that I am gay. I am here for curfew violation and running away from rehab. I shouldn’t be in rehab as I stop doing drugs whenever I want. I am not addicted to anything…..I just take different drugs when I want…. so rehab wasn’t right for me…so I ran away. Being Gay in a place like this is hell. This is not good at all. A lot of these guys think they can have sex with me anytime they want and as long as they are in prison it doesn’t make them gay. And it doesn’t count as long as they are giving rather than getting. These are a bunch of closet fags and a lot of homophobics. If I report them to the staff they hate me. I am here for 4-6 months…but I am not sure I will make it.”
