Anatoly, in his own words: “My coming out story began when I found harmony within myself, pushing all outside irritants and negative emotions to the outskirts. Now that I’m looking from a different point of view, there are no obstacles I can’t overcome. Coming out is just another moment of the life you are going through, and it is no longer a challenge for me. Start changing the society with stereotypes from yourself, especially if you are gay.”
