A couple of days ago I met a tall, handsome man from Cameroon in Vial.  He was keen to be involved in the Human Voice Project – now I realise why.  He is only 28 years old, dresses trendily and has a calm aura about him.  Today thanks to my humanitarian friend Mary Wenker of Choosehumanity I have just received the translation.

It is a detailed account of life in Cameroon for a gay man – it makes hard reading.  I cant share the full story yet .. it will be exhibited in the USA and Europe through Love without Borders.  I was always passionate about this project, but only now has the enormity of it hit me – like a bulldozer.

This is his final paragraph to give a taste of his humanity and  strength of character.

“In conclusion, the homosexual has no place when you come from Cameroon. We are not welcomed by the government. That’s why I came to Greece, hoping that here the government will offer us a better consideration, and a better life. Because we also have the right to life. We are also entitled to freedom, to the desire to live, to fulfillment, to respect of human rights. In short: we are human beings like the others ! Long live to Human rights ! Long live to homosexuality! Long live to the European Union! Long live the whole world”
