The LGBT+ Pride Project, No. 21

A short interview with Maya and Rosanna Howes! (Interviewed by Luisa De la Concha)

Luisa: So, tell me about your relationship to the project. Ros: I came out when I was 14 (Maya was 16), and I think I told you [Maya] kinda fast, and I as remember it you reacted pretty well, but a bit closed to the topic at the beginning.

Luisa (to Maya): How did you take it, and how did you handle accepting it? Maya: Well, at the beginning... Actually I was the first to tell our dathee, well, I was confused: I thought I was bisexual, when in truth I wasn't. So, I told my father, it was a bit hard for me to do it, and then came Ros and says it... Ros: I actually said it in the same car ride as Maya [laughs]. Maya: I don't know if I thought "oh it's so easy for her", maybe it was more that, but I also thought "is she really bisexual?", I didn't believe her that much [both laugh] because I turned out not to be. But then...

Ros: You realised that for me it was for real? Maya: Yeah, so... well one of the reasons I came here is to show my support for my sister. Ros: Awww.

Luisa: Ros, what did it mean to you to have your family's support? Ros: Well, without them, I wouldn't have been able to... keep going. For example, at school, when I came out, it wasn't... it wasn't the best of times: they were calling me a lot of things, and not even my friends were supporting me at that time, so having my father and my sister, specially them, there for me, helped me a lot to... keep strong, because otherwise I wouldn't have been able to... well to keep going.

That’s not the way sexuality works. You don’t update, you don’t get sexuality 5S. I recognise the irony of that but you know like, the thing is, some men are attracted to women some men are attracted to men and some women are attracted to men and some women are attracted to women and some like a bit of both and it’s been going on since the dawn of humanity and it’s going to continue until the end of humanity and it’s as natural as the grass growing and agh, so I think for God’s sake let’s move on people, let’s move on. That’s what I think.”
