Tosin Adamolekun, a 23-year-old man who supposedly has a feminine look as called on his critics to be less caustic and try to understand his predicament.
Adamolekun who came into limelight after writing popular blogger, Linda Ikeji over his experience and releasing pictures off himself taking poses which many believe portray him as an homosexual.
In the letter, Adamolekun wrote: “Even men approach me to ask me out on a date, I mean gay men. I do get anonymous calls and text messages asking me out on a date. I have been through so many sexual harassment growing up from homosexuals. It is really frustrating, not all guys that behaves like a girl or look like a girl are gay..”
The student has, however, said the criticisms have led him to the point of depression and almost committing suicide by ingesting shaving powder.
Read excerpts from his statement below and tell what you think.
Hi! My name is Tosin Silver Dam (the guy with feminine look), I’m just 23, an aspiring actor, model, blogger, final year student of mass communication that has a bright future.
My life almost came to an end when I tried to commit suicide with a shaving powder, this was all because of depression. This depression started from the day my pictures was all over the internet, the hurtful words, the death threats, rape threats, the curses, the bullying and so many aggressive attacks. I cried and I hated myself, at some point I started blaming God for creating me awkwardly.
Growing up as a kid, I was being discriminated against for being or acting feminine, I never created myself, God made me wonderfully in his own image. I was sexually molested by a man when I was so young and so innocent, I hear so many stories of feminine acting guys being killed or that they committed suicide out of depression.
I don’t support gay neither am I against it, what people like that need is prayer and not hate, we are all human beings and we have our choices, its only God that can judge us.
I saw some negative and positive comments about me being so gay, so I decided to go for help and I was told “if you don’t love yourself the way you are then you’re gonna hate yourself for being somebody else”, I was told to love myself and be happy with who I am. I love myself the way I am and I was created by God and God never makes mistakes, even though some people still bully me and say some horrible words to me for being so gay.
I speak for feminine acting males out there, please don’t discriminate against us, we are also human being. Just last week an OAP told me on Facebook he hated feminine acting guys and he was going to speak against them on radio, generalizing all feminine acting guys as gay. Its so unfair because there are so many talented feminine acting guys out there who has a bright future. Please don’t ruin these beautiful lives with negativity.
Please we need your love not your hate.
