"OLAS is one of the best things that has happened in my life. I have met wonderful people and some of them have become my best friends. OLAS has helped me to open up about my sexuality and has taught me that I'm a valuable person. It feels great knowing that someone is there, willing to help me without expecting anything in return" - Adrian (Mexico)
