My Story: Growing Up Gay in Syria | From Oppression to Dreams in NYC

In this video, I share my journey of growing up gay in a religious Muslim family in Syria and how I found my way to living my dreams in New York City. I hope my story inspires someone out there! 🌈🌈🌈

words do not begin to describe I feel after I watched your video. for time, I felt that I could not leave to start a new life, but you have fueled me with hope and determination. thank you. you are an amazing person.

I’m not sure where to even begin. Your video popped up on KZbin and I thought I’d take a look. Fifty-one minutes later I was still staring at the video with my jaw hitting the ground. It’s hard to believe any human being endured what you went through and came out of it sane or alive. The fact that you made it through this hell on earth only attests to the fact what a strong (in my book super human) being you are. I have never been as moved as I was listening to your story. You have redefined the word hero. I am so ecstatic you found your place of happiness and wish you every good fortune life sends your way. Hopefully, one day you’ll write a book about your life because it’s a story that needs to be told in print. Take care, be happy and keep being the great person you are.

You were never wrong, you are a SuperHero. You are my SuperHero. You deserve the greatest applause for surviving so much and being here to inspire all of us. If I were there with you, I would hug you without knowing when to let you go. You are beautiful and deserve to be loved for who you already are. And there is much love and family in the world for you. Thank you for making people laugh and for creating awareness and inspiration and thanks to the angels who intervened in your path to help you and enforce this purpose and your dreams. I'm sending you a lot of love, from human being to human being.
