ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The personal testimony of queer journalist Laura Terciado about her life as a lesbian and defender of the LGBT community.
Have you ever felt that everyone is normal except for you?
I grew up in ?vila convinced that I was the only lesbian in the city and that the Devil would surely come for me.
I felt alone, weird, stuck in a ?phase? that become permanent, in a closet with so many doors that I thought I?d never find my way out.
I hated school, the color pink, the nicknames, insults, questions, and the word lesbian. Most of all, I hated myself.
Until I exploded. And everything blew up.
