#14 Javier

I have been openly gay now for ten years and feel excited that change for acceptance and equality is nearing. I was brought up a strict Jehovah’s Witness. Was married to a woman for 7 years and have also had a 7-year relationship with a man.

I am a professional who writes music for a hobby and feel the medium of arts in photographs music is extremely powerful.

My family have been so supportive, yet I feel they face another challenge of acceptance is on its way as my 14-year-old niece/nephew has just identified himself as transgender. I would love to be involved to express my support of acceptance of equality and diversity.
