LGBTI member confessed, fears of living in Kosovo

discriminated against, physically and physically threatened and insecure, members of the LGBTI community around the world feel, but it becomes even more challenging in a small, prejudiced country like Kosovo.

It's not that a person in the LGBTI community wakes up one morning and says "I want to be gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or whatever, but is born as such”, so start telling the newspaper “Zri” L.V., member of this community, who prefers not to speak by name, as he says, because of misunderstandings he may have for his sexual orientation.

While confessing to the discrimination that is committed to this community, part of which is L.V., he says that there have been times when the family has learned of the child's sexual orientation, had physical violence on the person, or had to leave home, or was forced to marry a member of the opposite sex just to avoid understanding the narrow circle.

L.V., as he relates about his childhood, he says that he was personally not directly attacked, but in elementary school it explains that he was faced with mental and physical violence by his peers.
