  • Neuville

    My name Neuville and I’m currently living in Namibia. The top leaders have been attacking us, for us to have gay rights. A few days ago I found the most fantastic boyfriend I’ve ever met, but the problem is the fact that we cannot practise our relationship public, because we’re affraid of going to jail.
    W realy need your help from outside this country.
    Can you help me out to a have a peaceful gay life.
