Suicidal thoughts, feeling alone, fear of being disowned by his immigrant parent and abandoned by his friends. Can you imagine living a life so full of fear that even in the safety of your own dreams, you're tormented by the fear of sleep talking and someone discovering the real you? Lino opens up about all of his fears and anxieties and the feeling of living a lie in the closet as a gay man for twenty-two years. He shares with us his struggles with internalized homophobia, his path to self-acceptance and his advice to empower anyone currently living in the closet.
