"Fortunately, transitioning was never presented to me as an option, and I eventually grew up to accept myself as a feminine gay man." 2/6
"People who suffer real discrimination do not care about their pronouns. People do not identify as gay either. They either are gay or they are not. What does it mean that someone identifies as gay? Does it mean that they are not really gay? Being gay is not an identity." 3/6
"I have always wanted to get married and start a family, which I do not believe I will ever be able to do in my home country—but I can in the West, thanks to the sacrifices of the gay men and lesbians who came before me, and for this I am extremely grateful to all of them." 4/6
"I wish to stay here in the West where I can enjoy all the rights that the older gay men and lesbians have won for us." 5/6
"I really appreciate all the amazing work that LGB Alliance is doing standing up for gay men and lesbians as well as other gender-nonconforming people. It is always nice to know that there are other like-minded people out there." 6/6
