Deutsche AIDS-Hilfe e.V. Okay: Ich bin schwul. Nicht nur machts , auch tagüber. Ich habe keine Angst. Nicht vordiesen wast jedenfalls. Nicht var meinen Elfen, nicht var den anderen, ihren Sprüchen und Witzen, nicht var Schlägerbauden und Nazis. Ich bin stark. Weil ich glücklich bin, weil ich Freunde habe, die mich akzeptieren. Bis war einem jahr dachte ich, zu mir, zu meinem Schwulsein zu stehen, das schaffe ich vie. Ich hab's irgendwie geschafft. Es war leichter, als ich beürchtet hatte. Jetzt bin ich ein Mann.

Translation of text: Okay: I'm gay. Not only during the day. I have no fear. Not before this in any case ... the others, their sayings and jokes, not before a gang of thugs and Nazis. I am strong. Because I'm happy because I have friends who I accept me ... Now I am a man. A young self-confident gay ...
