James* is a musician. Being one has always been his dream. A lot of things in his life went very differently than he expected. He was brought up in a Christian family. For ten years he struggled with himself and his homosexuality which is forbidden by his religion, he says. A priest called him a sinner during confession and quoted Bible verses. James tried to change his feminine walk, his way of speaking, to make his voice deeper. Early on, he had to take responsibility as head of the family. The father left James, his autistic sister and his wife. Coming out was impossible for James, because he did not want to cause his mother any more grief. To this day, James hides the fact that he loves men.
