"Now you can even call me Sir Gay of the Year," says the guy.
Tuure Boelius publicly spoke about his sexual orientation in November 2016, releasing a video on YouTube channel.
"In this video, I want to tell you frankly that I am a gay. Is it worth saying openly that you are a gay, if then people start to fear and hate you? However, I see no reason why I should hide my nature," he said.
