Hi I’m Samantha but I rather be called Sam, I am a 19 year old student;
studying art and design.

London means a lot to me, I am from South America and where I come from

being gay is not acceptable, just the thought of it would be a sin, as my country is predominantly Catholic. As I grew up, my beliefs were that being gay was a sin and so on. I was attracted to girls from a very young age and I felt guilty. I came to London for a better place to live in, by living In London I discovered that it doesn’t matter about your sexuality or background so long as you’re happy so I came out and even though my family didn’t accept it I feel ecstatic because I’m just being myself.
