I am B in LGBT

I’ve dedicated this week’s episode of my radio show to celebrate the LGBT community. After last week’s tragic event in Orlando I thing it’s important to speak about sexuality, freedom, and the right for everyone to choose for themselves the way they live and love. 

There is a mindset around the globe that says gay people do not have the right to live in peace. This is a topic that I particular take at heart. Not only I have a lot of friends who are LGBT but I am a firm believe in liberties when it comes to love and sexuality.

I’ve been a bisexual since a very young age. I am B in the LGBT. I also know what it feels like to be attracted to someone of the same sex and not being accepted for it. When I was 8 my first love was a neighbour, a blond girl named Ingrid. I visited her many times on my bicycle, to bring her gifts, until her mother asked me to stop and Ingrid was suspiciously not around anymore every time I came by. At school, I would be rejected by groups of girls for being different and too boyish. In retrospect I’m glad things like that happened. It meant I would turn towards the more interesting people with better values, better life stories - and more often than not, better music taste.

The acceptance of my own bisexuality, which I repressed for years, has been extremely freeing for me. It felt like finding myself completely. When asked about it in interviews, I always reply with honesty, because I know people around the world are still threatened in their own life for who they’re attracted to or fall in love with, and maybe they can feel less alone. It makes me terribly sad and angry to think anyone could be stopped on their personal journey to become who they are supposed to become.

One question that has been hammering my mind for the past few days: how do you begin to challenge the ideology that says that one’s natural instinct is shameful? I still don’t have the perfect answer to that. I just know that talking openly about sexuality has never killed anyone, but on the opposite, can save lives. 

Find freedom in who you are.
