“We met three years ago. We thought love never existed in our world. Little did we know love is everywhere, but the challenge is bitter. I was attacked by gang guys twice. The first I was beaten, second, my partner and I was attacked by a gun. His hand was shot and had to go under a surgery, all in the name of stigma and discrimination in Ghana. We’re living in a world of fear. Neighbors do not like us because they say we have a mental problem. Now, we don’t know what to do. Fear has taken over us. Our love life is now a fear life. And we can’t buy from neighbors, we can’t mingle with them, all we do is to be careful.”
