"I know this isn’t going to be a popular opinion, but I’m gay, and I don’t think there’s nearly as much discrimination as people claim. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve experienced discrimination. But it hasn’t been a huge factor in my life. I feel like a lot of people bring discrimination on themselves by getting in people’s faces too much. "
“我是一個(gè)同志，但我不認(rèn)為真有人們認(rèn)為的那么多的歧視，盡管我的這個(gè)觀點(diǎn)可能很多人不接受。不要誤會我的意思，我自己也經(jīng)歷過被人歧視，但那并不是我生活的重要因素。我覺得很多人因?yàn)樘诤鮿e人的臉色，才會給他們自己帶來歧視?！?

"They like to say: ‘Accept me or else!’ They go around demanding respect as a member of a group, instead of earning respect as an individual. And that sort of behavior invites discrimination."
“他們喜歡說，你要么接受我，要么拜拜。他們作為一個(gè)群體中的一員到處尋求尊重，而不是作為個(gè)體去贏得尊重。正是這樣的行為才造成了歧視。”

“我跑到加州呆了一個(gè)禮拜，沒有告訴任何人。我想讓自己遠(yuǎn)離所有事，看看能不能找到一些事情的解決方法。但事實(shí)上那帶來了更多的問題。我才知道，事情并不是那樣的?！?

"How do you mean?""Just that if you can’t figure out your problems in your present circumstances, you’re probably not going to figure them out by running away from them."
“你的意思是？” “就是說，如果不能在當(dāng)前的環(huán)境中解決你的問題，那就算你跑得再遠(yuǎn)，也不可能解決那些問題?！?/div>

"My greatest struggle is trying to support my mom and sisters back in Jamaica. I try to send money back every month, but sometimes I just can’t do it after I’ve paid my bills. They really depend on the money, because my stepfather is a farmer and a lot of times the crops aren’t good. A lot of people back home think that money comes easy in America. They don’t know how hard it is."
“我最大的挑戰(zhàn)是供養(yǎng)我在牙買加的媽媽和姐姐妹妹。盡量我每個(gè)月都寄錢回去，但有時(shí)候在交完所有的賬單后我實(shí)在是沒辦法再寄錢了。他們確實(shí)很需要這些錢，因?yàn)槲业睦^父是個(gè)農(nóng)民，而很多時(shí)候莊稼的收成并不好。很多人都以為，在美國賺錢很容易，他們不知道其實(shí)有多難?！?/div>

"My first memory was when I was three years old. My dad set me up on the dresser, and said: ‘Jump to daddy!’ Then he let me fall and said, ‘Don’t trust anyone.’ He was twisted like that. I’m pretty sure that’s why I’m a loner."
“我最初的記憶是在我們?nèi)龤q的時(shí)候，父親把我放在梳妝臺上對我說：‘跳到爸爸懷里來！’ 然后他就眼看著我跳下來摔倒，然后對我說：‘不要相信任何人?！?我的父親就是這么扭曲，我想這也就是我為什么總是孤單一人的原因吧。”
