Finland: Helsinki bishop presents “Gay of the Year” award to a 15-year old winner
Annual QX Gay Gala was celebrated at the Savoy Theatre, Helsinki. This year Gay of the Year award went to a 15-year-old YouTube user Tuure Boelius. The young man plays in Turku City Theatre Tom of Finland, in the band of young musicians.
"Now you can even call me Sir Gay of the Year," says the guy.
Tuure Boelius publicly spoke about his sexual orientation in November 2016, releasing a video on YouTube channel.
"In this video, I want to tell you frankly that I am a gay. Is it worth saying openly that you are a gay, if then people start to fear and hate you? However, I see no reason why I should hide my nature," he said.
