He said his involvement with the organisation had made him what he is today.
“I feel more relaxed and I have so many friends here with whom I can share everything,” the college graduate explained.
Gusti said he realised he was gay in 2009. With no place to go or friends and family to talk to, he kept everything to himself. His only respite at that time was an online forum.
But everything changed when Gusti participated in a journalism training held by Our Voice last year. The programme, the man said, gave him more than he wanted, not only journalism skills but information as to how to deal with his sexuality as well as knowledge about rights and the LGBT movement.
Now, Gusti is more vocal and open when discussing the issue, despite the fact that he has not told his parents that he is gay.
