Rubel, 16 years old. Dhaka, Bangladesh. I do not remember where I am from. An old lady left me alone in this train station, when I was small. I grew up sniffing glue. It keeps me high, away from all the pain in life. © Gazi Nafis Ahmed

Amit Rana I believe our love is beyond the moral judgements of society, and so we will keep on loving each other, a love that remains undeclared. We have a good life, a pretty life, almost as if it is wrapped up in beautifully coloured paper. Our relationship is very intimate; it would not be wrong to label us husband and wife. © Gazi Nafis Ahmed

Mitu, Rony, Mithu (clockwise) If I was as confident in myself several years ago as I am now, then I believe nobody would have been able to force me to get married. I know many men like me now who are married and live the hard life. Those who have not married, before they decide, they should consider that matter in its full depth and breadth. - Mithu © Gazi Nafis Ahmed

Mukto I was diagnosed as HIV positive more than 10 years ago. I told one or two of my family members about my illness. My neighbours came to know about it, and people began to ignore me, even those who were close to me. I didnt know about condoms and HIV back then; now I know the rules, how to keep safe, and I use condoms and consult the doctor when I feel I am getting worse. I want everyone to have the same rights in society, to be treated with kindness and to be able to socialize with each other. © Gazi Nafis Ahmed
