“Your sexuality doesn’t mean who you are.”

Winner Beauty & The Beat 2013 “Homosexuality is a taboo in my culture. But I decided that others should accept me for who I am. When I still hear comments that I will burn in hell, it touches me. This is my theme, listen to me, listen to your heart, which is always right and the journey to your happiness. I know how it feel when your family let’s you down, because I had a tough coming out.  I want to ask people to listen to their loved ones, because without the support of our loved ones is the lack of understanding towards homosexuality for us even more difficult. Your sexual orientation is after all only a small part of who you are”.
