PIMPLE—according to Webster’s Dictionary—“a small elevation of the skin, with an inflamed base.” As a pimple is a blemish on the skin, there are many blemishes that affect one’s life. By the age of four, Freddy felt that he was different from most of the people around him. He didn’t know the term gay, but he knew that he was attracted to males. In the 1950s there were no nationally known gay role models. Gay people were pretty much non-existent to the world, except to the people who knew they were gay. It was a period of loneliness for anyone that was gay, not being able to express themselves openly. There was no acceptance because, to most, it was something kept hidden. This is the story of one man born in the fifties who has lived through 2005 and witnessed changes, but still believes acceptance has not been achieved.
