It seems they've found me out.

My name is Alex Arthurs. Tomorrow I am meeting with the dean of my school; Smith. He has said it is because of internet communication, that he has some serious concerns with. As I've made no effort to hide my sexuality, I can only assume that it's sites like this. I also talked to my ex, my gay friends, etc. through other sites. The school has a policy that kicks LGBT people as soon as they are found out... Not only that, but people who support LGBT rights as well, or supports a "homosexual lifestyle." I was going to deny everything at first, but no... That won't work. I've realized I need to help change this place.
I always thought that this kind of discrimination was illegal, to be honest. I figured someone had taken the fall; but I realize something now... I need to come in, guns blazing. I need to tell him all that we're about, and all that I know and love. I need to make this place see that gay isn't about who gets to have the most butt-sex, and that they're all abominations against God. I need to get these people to see its for one, about love, for two, not a sin, and for three, not a conscious choice at any rate.
As I look outside, I notice something... The first snowfall of the year... I've always loved the snow... It's almost like God is trying to tell me something... New beginnings, or maybe just reaffirming what I know I have to do. At any rate, I suppose I'm going to be a martyr, here. I'm taking the fall, but I may just plant a seed of tolerance and love in the dean's head.
This is who I am, this is what I enjoy being. This is what I'm comfortable with. If no one's going to stand up for this injustice here, I suppose I will. Everyone, please pray for me... Please... I've never needed it more... And if I succeed, in any manner, we're one step closer to our mission here... I'm gay, I'm proud, and I'm not some godless heathen either.
I've actually cried more today than I have in my entire life... My tears have run dry... When I get kicked out, which is extremely likely, my life is over. All my scholarships will be gone. I won't be able to get the job I've wanted my entire life. I'll be lucky to work at McDonald's. But if I can even help change the world one little bit for the better, my sacrifice will be worth it. Again, please, please, please. I need all the prayer I can get right now. Thank you for your time. Let's pray for open-mindedness here at Cedarville University, and that I'll know the right words to say, because I've never stood up for myself like this; not against my parents, not against my friends, and not even close to against a professional like this.

I've been gay at a religious university (still gay, but graduated). Baylor has similar policies that are a bit more lenient on undergrads, but they have taken away an openly gay seminary student's scholarship. I'm atheist now, but I still love my school, just hate some of the backwards policies. Hope my uneventful experience does something.
I've had an easier road. Best of luck on your path.
Anyone was was intelligent enough and had the ambition to apply for a university has all the quality's of someone who can succeed in life. You might not be doing exactly what you thought you would be doing two years ago, but life is a mystery in that way.
The important thing though is to be happy
Good luck, I'm rooting for you!

A boy can dream, can't he? Or maybe I'll start something here... If I'm lucky.
I often think about what would have happened if I was more compliant and told everyone what they wanted to hear, I can't help but think I'd be graduating college right now with a bachelors, but it went differently and life is about taking what's given and making the best out of it. I wish you the most luck and just remember even if you do get kicked out it isn't the end of your life. Things always work out even if they aren't how you thought they would.
I hope things go well for you with this but, if what you fear happens then you'll have to find another way.
Best of luck.
