I very early discovered my sexuality but coming to terms with it was a struggle. I could not live my life as I would have wanted because of the society I grew up in. There was always news of people caught in the act of same-sex practice and, how they are treated cruelly, some met their untimely death through jungle justice in the hands of anti-gay vigilantes, those who are lucky to be rescued from such attacks end up being arrested by the police. So, it was a big struggle for me. But all that changed when I fully came out of the closet here in Canada. I could move around with my partner hand in hand without prejudice or be discriminated against. My father is disappointed with me and has cut me off, I am hoping that one day soon he will come to understand and accept me for who I am.
