“I’m 15 and I’m gay , I’m from morocco , I still haven’t come out to my family yet , only to a couple of friends , being gay in here is a sin , a crime , and a shame bringer , you hear stories of people being tortured and beaten to death because of their sexual identities everyday , and I live in fear , I love who I am , I may not be very religious , but I know that religiously its the way god wanted me to be , but I get depressed everytime I hear in class , in family reunions and in public places that homosexuality is a sickness , I dont act myself around close people , and that kills me.”
