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 affects me. This is my message: listen to me, and listen to your heart — it’s always right on the path to your happiness. I know how it feels when your family lets you down, because I had a difficult coming out. I want to ask people to support their loved ones, because without that support the lack of understanding around homosexuality becomes even harder for us. After all, your sexual orientation is only a small part of who you are.”
Pride Ambassador since 2014
