My name is Hussein Hassan. Ever since I was young I always pictured myself with boys, but due to the society where I was raised I could not get into a same-sex relationship for fear of being killed because such practice is regarded as a taboo in my home country. Years later, I am glad that I was able to fully come out of the closet in a beautiful and receptive country like Canada. Today I am glad I have met someone, and we are in love, I am free to live my life as I want. Canada has given my life a new meaning.
