Growing up, I always knew that I didn’t fit in. I love my hometown, but I could never live there. My childhood played out innocent, but as soon as I realized I was gay I felt trapped. Every day was a theater play and a constant source of anxiety. For too long it held me…
Florian, veterinary student, I’m 23, soon 24 and I’m a guy who loves other guys; basically an ordinary guy! I’ve never had a problem with my family or my friends, while many others in the same context have been thrown out of their “home” or all their friends have turned their backs … One should…
