Confession of EU Ambassador Silvio Gonzato: I married a man
European Union Ambassador, Silvio Gonzato

During the European Cultural Week and under the European Union's motto: "United in diversity", European Union Ambassador Silvio Gonzato has admitted his sexual orientation, saying that he is homosexual.

In an interview for "Dita Jonë" on A2CNN, the EU ambassador said that the mindset regarding homosexuality needs to change in Albania.

"The main theme is to create this space in which people can interact freely and shape their vision for the EU. We will have several theaters. Another is an exhibition by Blerta Kambo; Love is the same for everyone, there are different ways of love portrayed, not only between a woman and a man. I believe that people know that I am homosexual, but I do not abuse the position I have. I was disappointed because we had difficulty finding a place where it would be organized, because people said we will not show these photos that we have children, but they are photos with love. They are simply photographs. This change of mentality must be achieved in Albania. People should accept diversity and I think this will have its effect. We have music and other themes such as immigration that affects Albanians and the relationship between language and power. All this to simulate reflection on the challenges we face. Culture is a powerful tool to overcome borders and that is why we did this in partnership with artists."

Gonzato said he has nothing to hide and confessed to the fact that he was married to a woman and then to a man.

"It's hard today to expose yourself in this way and become vulnerable, but I like to be honest. I have nothing to hide. Expressing who you really are is not easy but it's important to be honest. The way I am is not a threat to you and the feelings I have are the same as yours. Yes, we are different, we are with this diversity and we are also the same. I also like the idea of ??the exhibition, we have a human essence and you probably know that I was married to a woman and then I married a man and the problems are the same", said the EU ambassador./ CNA
