...AND WE ALL SHOULD HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS


This is a photo of a very good friend of mine. When I am sad, he always makes me laugh.He builds me up and supporting me whenever he can. He is a true friend on whom you can always rely on. Of which there are very few. Now I have the chance to help him. He does not want much, just that I'm posting this photo and see many people there.
Please, support my good friend Michael when her since in his opinion.

(I do not normally something, but I hope you are not angry with me that I post something like this!)

Here is his message to the world:

My name is Michael, I'm 20 years old and I am gay.
I had these photos taken because I wanted to step into the spotlight and raise my voice for those who are afraid to do so or lack COURAGE.
I stand up for total equality.
I want my photos to show that we're all equal, no matter if we're gays, lesbians, bisexuals, heterosexuals or transgender people.
We are what we are. We are all born equal. We all just want to live our lives.
AND WE ALL SHOULD HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS.
When I go through the memories in my head I can't help but think about all the people that made me struggle because of my sexuality.
My feelings are a mixture of sorrow and melancholy, but it's never regret. Because I cannot say I regret to live my life the way i want to.
I am proud to be gay, gay and myself.
To be able to say that I lived and loved the way i wanted one day and not the way others wanted me to, that's my goal.
I'd lie if I said that the path I've chosen was an easy one.
I'd lie if I said that I had never wished to be 'normal'.
I'd lie if I said that I've managed to stand by myself all on my own.
I'd lie if I said that I've never questioned my actions or myself as a person.
But I thank God that he sent people my way who always remind me that I'm worth it and tell me that I'm a great person and accept and love me the way I am.
I believe that one day we will be able to gather all our courage and raise our voices together in order to move towards total equality.
