Instagram Star and Model Derek Chadwick Comes Out as Gay<\/b>
\n\"Derek<\/p>\n

Derek Chadwick, a 23-year-old Instagram \u201cinfluencer\u201d<\/a> and model\/actor with a following of more than 275K, has come out as gay<\/a> in the latest issue of Gay Times<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Said Chadwick to GT<\/a>: \u201cI would identify now as gay<\/a>\u2026I\u2019ve been nervous about people seeing my personality because I didn\u2019t want them to jump to conclusions about me without knowing my whole story.\u00a0It\u2019ll allow me to be more personable on social media. I\u2019ll be able to post more on my stories and videos<\/a> on Twitter\u2026 it\u2019ll allow me to stand up on the stage in front of the LGBTQ community and not feel so pressured about, \u2018Oh my God, I wonder they think of me\u2019, or, \u2018I wonder what they\u2019ll think of me\u2019. If I can just inspire one person, whoever that is, to be their true self or do something they were scared to do or didn\u2019t feel 100% confident in, that would be the most rewarding part of all this\u2026Being honest and being who you are is always the best way to live<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n
