Felipe, in his own words: “Being gay for me today is more than just having sex and being in love with another man. Its a political choice that I make everyday.
Everyday is challenge for me. I truly believe that being openly gay in Brazil is still a challenge and thats why after living abroad I choose to be here. I feel like there’s a lot to be done for the Brazilian gay community.
(The gay community in Rio De Janeiro) is the same as anywhere else in Brazil, lol.
(Coming out of the closet) was easy and disturbing at the same time. Easy because after you do it you keep thinking: why was I there in the first place? Disturbing because you realize how scared people can get from it. To find myself in such a hateful world was really confusing.
(If I could give myself advice before coming out, I’d say) If you want to go far, go slow”
Não tenho a capacidade de ser ativista, mas é bom saber que alguém faz este trabalho por nós, que o não conseguimos ser.
Um bem haja
