It has come to our attention that you are publishing unauthorized and actionable content about our client: Mr. Derby L. Harrington, Esq. on your website: Blog by C. Brakus.
"Appaerntly Smith, who'd overtaken the speech, was leaking little details he'd become aware of, about Derby's personal life.
Derby was gay.
And I saw him standing there, looking in shock and horror as his speech was hijacked as the lights went off, affording him some dignity and the cover of darkness. For the first time ever, I'd finally realised something: we all still had our vulnerabilities and secrets, no matter how much we'd grown up and changed; and Derby Harrington was just another nervous, naked creature standing there, despite the enormity of what he looked like under the expensive clothing and the power haircut.
And I wondered: had we all known then, would we have treated him differently back in school? Would he have treated us differently? Why was his gayness such a big deal: and why did the remainder of the night turn into bedlam following that?
And how must it have been for Derby in high school, having to enact the disguise of heterosexuality, having to date and be seen lusting after girls, having to hide behind something and pretend you were something you were not? Probably rough as a teenager."
