“They thought being a gay person means you’re always in high heels and ladies dresses, they did not have any knowledge…” In this episode we speak to Krisztián (He/Him) a gay man from Hungary.  Krisztián discusses with us today about the barriers and resistance in Hungary and his own personal story of when he came out as a gay man to him family and friends. Krisztián also took part in a Coca Cola campaign called love is love with his partner and tells us about how this was challenged in Hungary. Read below to hear more about him: ‘I first came out when I was 22 years old to one of my friends in a Starbucks café, she was very supportive, and it was such a relief for me. A year later I came out to my parents , it was hard because my family had no knowledge, they thought a gay man as the typical stereotype you see in the media and my father particularly needed time to accept it. I also took part in the love is love campaign by coca cola and after this my father asked to meet with my partner. We took part in this campaign to show we are here, we exist, and coca cola encouraged us to hold each other and show the world our love for each other’
