Here are a few words to tell you my story, which I hope will be useful for others 😊
I would like to talk about religion. Growing up in a Muslim family, I have always had remarks about my sexuality that the two cannot be compatible.
But then how do I find my place, between faith and sexuality?
I am assuming today that God (or whatever you believe in) made me in His image. So why should my faith be worth nothing, if every Man is made in the perfect image and vision of something greater?
I have always struggled between rejection and acceptance.
Today, I say it, I believe and I have my convictions. I also have my sexuality that I take on perfectly.
Faith is in me, as is my homosexuality. A sin, one commits it voluntarily. However, what attracts me, I did not choose. So I don’t sin. Quite the contrary. I love. I love men and I assume to love them. Love is not a sin when it is beautiful and true. If someone tells me that my beliefs and my sexuality are not compatible, I will tell them today that they are lacking in judgment and education.
My advice:
Keep believing if your beliefs and live your life to the fullest. Because what comes after you don’t know until the end comes. So let’s take advantage of our lives. Love. Do no harm, do not denigrate others, do not judge. But most important: educate idiots, teach them what they do not know and what they reject, put your stone in the building.
My name is Guillaume, I’m thirty-three years old and gay. I grew up in an ordinary family with both parents, two sisters and pets. From a very young age, my attraction to boys – not girls – challenged me.
Reid Zakos is a queer pop performer currently based in Vancouver, Canada. Born and raised in Calgary, he was born into a musical family and quickly possessed an electrifying stage presence and love for dance and theatre.
