Hello! I'm 17 years-old. I'm gay. My mom and sister know about my orientation. But they want me to hide this from everone. They don't want anyone to know about this. Of course it hurts me. And people say that i have to die. Everyone thinks they have rights for live,but i don't. It's so sad! Hope you'll help us!

Hello. I'm 16. I live in Baku. I'm gay, i like boys. My parents hate me because of it. They think that i'm abnormal. Every day boys kick and beat me, like a little girl. It's so difficult to live here. Everywhere you should hide the orientation. Because of it here you can even die. And if you are gay, you haven't got any rights except prostitution.
