I had to flee the country so that my boyfriend could live
This story has been sent to us by a gay Iranian and his story is nothing short of unmeasurable love and painful sacrifice.
I am a gay man living in Iran and this statement should tell you everything you need to know about my life. Our lives. None of the ones living here actually know what free love means. Free love is a fairytale and gay people are not allowed to have it. I have stayed hidden from the world...
My last love letter to my first gay crush
I cannot count the times I thought I was in love, and I have almost forgotten the thrill of it, feeling hopeful, pursuing my own chimerical story. I was desperate to be in love, or I was just living in a childish dream.
I never meant to like you, but I was chasing the idea of love, so I found you. You didn’t make the distinction between friendship and deeper feelings, and I played with that. I told myself that you...
Ellen Page feels blessed “to love someone openly”
Ellen Page and Samantha Thomas have been in a relationship for a while now. Ellen made her red carpet debut at TIFF holding tenderly her girlfriend. This was happening in September. Even if they were at the beginning of their relationship, Ellen did not refrain from expressing her love for Samantha.

Asked why she had chosen that night to make her relationship official, she replied: "I'm...
I am in love with my boyfriend’s dad
For anyone who would read this, it is the first time that I am experiencing such a thing. I am David and I am 19 years old and this is my first relationship ever. I am still confused about the whole situation, because I found out that I like both guys and girls, which I think makes be bisexual, but I have never had the chance of experiencing a relationship until one month ago. I knew Josh, my actual...
I got reunited with my lover after 40 years
This is not just a story but it is rather a story about how love can transcend time and space and can endure, despite everything faith throws at it. I am Ben and I am a 68 years old gay living in the States. I was born here and I have been raised in a homophobic family for most of my life, until I have reached 24. It was at that time when I decided that I should take...

My boyfriend faces death for being gay and saves my life not revealing me...
While this kind of things may be common here in Nigeria, losing the one you love is never anything less than tragic and I truly hope that, if our story cannot get us any help whatsoever, at least the world will know that one man is willing to die to save the one he loves.
In am 23 years old and I have known about my sexual orientation since I was 14, although there were things that I could not...
The guy I made love to turns out to be my brother
It may seem like a movie scenario to you and this is exactly what I would have thought couple of months ago. I am Matt, from California, I am 27 years old and my life took a turn for the weird in the past few weeks. The reason I write this is because I could really use an advice from anyone, a supportive thought or anything that would help me understand what is going on and what should I...
I stopped being straight after I found a man’s love
This is actually at least equally confusing for me as it is for you, if not more. I am Jason, a 42 year old teacher from New York and I have been married with my lovely wife Samantha for the past 12 years. She has been the love of my life and I will always remember her that way for the rest of my life. I say this because one and a half years ago she died in a...
I need to split myself between my wife and another man
Can you love two human beings with the same honesty and intensity? I didn’t believed that for a long time and I have always considered myself as man of principles, constantly aware of what is right and what is wrong and what you should or should not do. This is me, until one year ago. Since then, I am a completely different man and I still don’t know if for the better or for the worse.
I am Adrien, 48...

We were denied love, but he gave me his heart so I can live
I am Jack, 54 and despite my life’s tragedy may not be more severe than others’, I feel like I should share it to the world and show what love actually means and how it shaped my life for the past decades.
I have been gay since I first started knowing anything about sexuality, but back in the 70’s being gay was by no means a valid option. I knew I had to keep it a secret, but it was...
Gay marine saved my life on the battlefield. He cured my heart of hatred
It is still very hard for me to write this because, although what I am about to tell you happened more than 3 years ago, in my heart is still fresh like it just happened. I am Josh, from Louisiana and I have been in the army for over 6 years. I have participated on several missions, last of which took place in Afghanistan back in 2013. I have always cherished the marine spirit, because on the battlefield a...
What’s like to be gay in India – the confessions of a teenager
Considered to be the ultimate land of cultures, traditions and values, it has always been difficult for couples to share their relationships publicly. Aside from homosexual partners, straight couples also seek a hideout to spend some time alone, unless they’re married to each other. Here in India, people seldom get chances to explore themselves, be it homosexuality or even a straight relationship. This has proven to be one of the major factors that retained the question of confused sexuality...
