Coco Nac, in his own words:“Being gay means I had to try hard, work harder than the other and I’m happy with myself, my life.

The challenges are not only for me, but for all gays in VN, that they are not accepted by the community for the different life style and culture. It’s hard to come out. But for me, I’m luicky and my family accept it, although they are unhappy by the first time.

I do not know how to describe my coming out. It was easy for me because my parents are open minded, and they accept me and still love me like before, when I said “I’m gay.”

A Note from Rafael, in Rio De Janeiro…

“My name is Rafael.
Im a History of Art student.
Live in Benfica, Rio de janeiro.

Some pictures and history about me:

I was born in 1988.
I grow up with a open mind, i never think
two women or men was a abomination as
some religious say.

My family accept me since i told im gay,
I live a very light lifestyle.
I have proud about my condition.

Im not engaged as i would,
but I read alot of gay rights,
is very important for us.
The right to merry is the base
for a good family like other else.”
