Alot of young men are ending their own lives prematurely. Most of these cases go undiagnosed. Research from our funders has found many of them struggle with coming to terms with their LGBT sexuality due to fear of being persecuted under colonial laws. We cry for recognition of gay rights
FUSEKE
Do you mean forsake?
It’s even better to die than live man but treated as a bitch by fellow men.
