I had a msage om somebody who’s studyg a very crilly endangered animal, a untry where rri the ath penalty for homosexualy. Obvly, you travel a lot, maybe to untri where homosexualy is illegal, or unwele.

I mean, when I started workg wh Off the Fence (a productn pany) to produce GIANTS for Cursy Stream, we had nversatns early on about the fact that one of our major shootg lotns was Kenya, which has a life imprisonment, or many years prison, for homosexualy. It’s the last untry South Ameri where is actually illegal to be gay. But after all of this stuff started to e out (about me beg gay), my lleagu noticed and when I started tellg people Guyana (about my sexualy), I was met wh, “Oh my God, we love gay people here.
