Kressan Muthal
GROWING up in a society where many aspects of one's identity are often suppressed, Kressan Muthal is living with a sense of difference that extends far beyond his sexuality.
The 22-year-old of Chatsworth said he was 8 years old when he had “small crushes” on television characters of the same gender.
However, at the time he did not understand what any of those emotions meant.
“It was only as I grew older that I knew I was different from my peers, not just in sexuality but as a person. I saw something that represented me. I felt this tether in my chest pulling me towards it. But because society suppresses anything different, I knew I had to hide it from the world.”
