Michael and Daniel have had to navigate being gay in 4 different countries. It's one of the many reasons they fell in love.

Michael was born in the Philippines, but he grew up in Sydney, Australia before his family moved to the US. Daniel spent his childhood in Peru and then moved to the States with his family at 19. This episode tells their stories of coming to terms with their sexuality, meeting, falling in love, and realizing how they masked their identities to stay safe as boys in their home countries.
