Gorgeous picture! Do you know what magazine it's from?

[jonna594]

So sorry, can't remember it. It's a few years old. I think you can find it on the Internet, there was a couple of other pictures like this as well. Some sort of collaboration between Queer as Folk, Queer eye for the straight guy, and some other gay shows... Maybe you can find it by searching by that...

Hey again. Found the magazine that the picture was published in:

Vanity Fair Magazine
December 2003

Hope that you will enjoy the pictures : )

Not surprised about your classmate's attitude. I'm a gay Nigerian, and even though there are many of us living in Nigeria, we are forced to stay in the closet because of the homophobic attitude of most Nigerians.

I hope I didn't offend you, and I can understand his point of view when I think about it. It's just not the way I was brought up to think about things, especially not about homosexuality. So while it can take some time to see the whole picture so to say, when you think about all the circumstances it is really not so difficult to imagine why he thinks like that. What I can't really imagine is having to hide all the time because of the homophobic attitude that most of the Nigerians have. Sweden is one of gay friendliest countries in the world, maybe you should go here ; ) to experience another attitude, because I hate thought of someone having to hide his entire life.
