Ethiopia: Troubled life of a gay Ethiopian

I was born in the capital city of Ethiopia, Addis Ababa. I and my nephew were raised by my aunt. The story that I heard from my family was that a few weeks before my dad passed away he gave me to my aunt. I never knew my biological mother but I heard that she died of the war between Ethiopia and Eritrea. As I went to school, from elementary to high school everybody used to tell me that something was different about me.
