  • Any gay person understands at some point that he or she has to disappear, to become invisible. That's very difficult. You somehow have to kill yourself.

  • My family spent many years sleeping side by side in the same room. It's important for me to not separate myself from them or to say that I've suffered more than they have because I'm gay.

We were all hungry at the same time.
