Men spend their whole lives showing that they're strong and silent. They fight for independence the way women struggle to connect.

We have many cases of men committing suicide rather than face their own individuality. I know of no case of a woman who committed suicide because she was gay.

Finally, fighting for gay rights, speaking out in various places and making friends, men and women, was great.
