[Deactivated]

At what age did you realize you were queer?
- I was 10 years old.

How would you describe your gender, from your point of view?
- I identify as male.

Did you, uh, come out of the queer closet yet?
- I did! I came out four years ago.

If yes, who did you tell?
- Everyone. There were rumors going around that I was gay, and I got a boyfriend at that time, so I decided that since people were already assuming I was gay, I might as well let them know.

What is your biological sex?
- My biological sex is male.

How do you feel about it?
- I feel good!

Is your sexuality linked to your gender?
- I personally don't feel like it is in my case. My sexuality and my gender are separate.

How would you describe your sexuality?
- Strictly gay; zero sexual attraction to women.

Are you confident/happy with your body?
- I am!

Does your gender affect the way you dress or behave, if yes, how?
- It doesn't. I wear what I want and behave how I want, regardless of my gender.

What do you think about the portrayal of queers in society?
- It's all the same; white cisgender gay males. We don't see enough people or other racial backgrounds, other genders, or even other sexualities. The stonewall movie anyone?

What do you think about the queer community?
- It's very diverse; I like it.

Have you ever been treated differently because of your gender?
- Definitely. But not to the point where it seriously affected me.
