Suck For a Buck

[HustleMe15]

​

So I got a couple messages today asking if I really did go out and hustle. :? And the answer is yes. At first, yea, I did it because I needed to get some money for food and clothes and all. But by the time that I pretty much called it quits on that I was doing it because I liked doing it. Having sex, getting paid for it, and making more than the minimum wage too. Yes there were bad times. I had stuff stolen from me, and it was hard to find a place to sleep where you didn't have to be half awake to keep an eye on things.

I was one of the lucky ones though. There are way too many young guys and gals that are still out there because they were kicked out of their house because they are gay. Did you know that about 40% of all the homeless kids are gay? Did you know that just here in L.A. there are about 3,000 homeless kids. It makes me absolutely sick to think that someone would kick THEIR OWN kid out on the street because they are gay. But that is exactly what happened to Nick, my boyfriend. I wasn't kicked out. My parents died in a car crash when I was 8. I ended up leaving an on and off foster system and came out here to L.A. Nope, didn't have any big dreams of making it in the movies or anything, I just didn't want to freeze in the winter because I grew up in Chicago.

I never did the "Suck For a Buck" thing though. I started out a little bit higher at $20. Most guys back then, and now, like me even, have at least a $20 bill in their wallet.

I found this pretty good video on YouTube the other day that shows what the typical road looks like after getting tossed out. I've seen the results, and it's not nice. Some guys get lucky and make it through OK, others don't.

I, too, was discarded by my family for being gay, at 14. Lucky for me I had understanding relatives who kept me safe. Today, I look for gay homeless boys to help them out.

Thank you for sharing with us what must have been a very painful memory of a very painful time in your life. I've heard the statistics but it hits harder when you hear the story of an actual person who went through some of the things that the statistics are about. I've never met anyone who had gone through things like that before and it's more powerful when it comes from someone you actually "know" - if only online. I'm happy you made it through that time in your life and are here today to share your experiences with the rest of us. One thing I think I can say without fear of contradiction: anyone who does that to their kid isn't a - and doesn't deserve the title of - "parent." Good luck with everything! Your strength and courage are an inspiration.
