Bahama Drama June 6, 2022

I had to pretend to be gay to get help

Good afternoon Bahama Drama please keep me anonymous. I’m 26 years old now but for 3 year’s I had to pretend to be gay in order to get assistance from the Bahamas government.

At first I went though the process as a straight male filling out all of the necessary information about myself what school I went to and my mother and father’s name’s with passport page copies I mean I went through the ringer as a single straight male.

Yes I was really at the end of my rope and basically homeless. So after a while facing all of the let downs by government and my own Bahamian people I decided to pretend to be a gay male.

I saw a lot of gay behavior’s in my life to know just how I should act so I began to go places asking for help as a young gay guy

and would you know that I never got a no from anyone in government or in the private sector as a gay male. The only problem was that other gay guys would ask me

for dates and I would sometimes have to go out with them. Before long I was eating out at the Marina village and riding on multimillion dollar yachts with pro gay friendly people and LGBTQ love was in the air.

I thought once or twice about actually belonging to the LGBTQ community for real because I have never seen so much support in any other races or groups of people.

So I did end up giving a couple of hand and head jobs in the heat of the moment but I didn’t like it afterwards.

But I do now think that this is a topic that really needs to be addressed in the Bahamas urgently before all of us start to believe that this is the only route to success.
