<\/p>\nIt was as far back as 2004. At that time I lived in Novosibirsk and my parents lived in the city of Kryvyi Rih. Then the time came, when I decided to confess to my mother that I was gay. I wanted to tell her everything, I expected that she would understand and accept me. I needed her support.<\/p>\n
But my coming out was very funny.<\/p>\n
I did not have any better idea than just to write her an email. After having sent it, I started to wait. Mother called me several hours later and told that it was all well, and she loved me who I was. But was it necessary to inform all her colleagues?<\/p>\n
It emerged that it was not her personal mail box, but the mail box of the entire laboratory:)))<\/p>\n
So my coming out was in front of a big audience right away.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When I came back to Ukraine, it was easy for me. I did not need to lie about myself either to my parents, or to people around me.<\/p>\n
So since six years I have been organizing theme parties for LGBT community in the city of Kryvyi Rih. I have a prestigious job. I contribute to Queer Home Kryvbass as a volunteer. I am in love and not alone.<\/p>\n
I have understood how good it is to love openly and not to be ashamed of oneself. Why, it is nothing reprehensible in it.<\/p>\n
The most agreeable thing to me now is when my boyfriend picks me up from work, and I do not need to lie that he is my second cousin. I do not need to hide from my relatives and to tell that my boyfriend is actually my work colleague. Nobody tries to match me with the daughters of the acquaintances. I feel free! I feel great!<\/p>\n
I am very glad that Ukraine is not like Russia, and I can talk free about it.<\/p>\n
Those who do not like it, please do not communicate with me. Everybody is free to choose!<\/p>\n
