“Let love rule!”

“Let love rule”. Love, as it is, nothing more and nothing less. Or, as ambassador Dolly Bellefleur himself puts it: “Women and men, women and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, whatever you may consume the love, let love rule. Whether you’re gay, straight, lesbian, bisexual or transgender. We are family. Long live diversity! “Dolly, born as Rudolf Lammert Douma, finds herself in many ways a late bloomer. He was nineteen when he told his mother that he was gay and 28 when he finally dared to focus completely on the theater. “Actually, it is incomprehensible that I’ve not told it before. Besides, my mother came from a family of eleven children of whom two boys were found to be gay. “Dolly’s a late coming out had never been an issue at home. “My parents have always supported all the way. As ambassador, I would gladly share their unconditional love. ”
