one of my senior servicemen
touched me behind and told me that
you are so lucky because you are the
military
if you are in a prison you already raped
and then i fainted i am
chiram i'm an artist
i'm gay and i'm an anglican
i have many identities
the text is based on the testimonies of
four gay servicemen
this is my testimony
i was forcively committed to a mental
asylum
this was because i continuously suffered
from sexual assault and harassment
from senior servicemen during my
obligatory military service
[Music]
i practiced a lot of marching shooting
guns
and throwing grenades i was scared
and also i told myself that
i must not to tell about my sexual
orientation during my military service
because i feel like it is the death
sentence
every 10 pm we must turn off
the lights for the first time only few
senior service man touched me
but it spread out like the virus
to the other people my senior servicemen
grabbed my
arms and legs and they kissed my
neck and they pulled out my underwear i
shouted them don't touch me please don't
please don't
and i repeatedly thought that i
was inferior i was inferior i was
inferior
[Music]
because i'm gay that's why they told me
that
you tempted the other service man
and you let them touch you
[Music]
i was forcibly asked to take the
anti-depressant pill
two times every day i couldn't control
my body and mind properly
[Music]
once i could know about other people's
stories i thought that we are connected
and it is our issue i hope that
gay servicemen also in the military
and treated with respect
[Music]
you
