Laan, in his own words: (Being gay) means my inner self, my freedom. My biggest challenge was to accept myself the way I really am. Success for me was to be able to live as a gay man, to be happy with it and have lots of friends. Comming out was quick, practical and scary at the same time. (If I could give myself advice before coming out) : go slow kid, the world is big.”

Diego, in his own words: “Being gay is just one kind of expressions of human sexuality and behaviour.

For me, IT doesn’t make me different or special – it is just me being myself.
I’m gay, but before this I’m just another man who wants to discover the world, build a family, have nice friends, show my own talent, and ultimately be happy.

I once saw in a movie something like this: “In life, you can make a choice: to be happy or to be sad. I choose to be happy.” Yes… I choose it too.”
