According to him, coming out could inspire members of the LGBTQ+ community to be themselves and to be proud of who they are.
He is also hoping that his story could raise awareness about the LGBTQ+ community so that they will be protected from bullying and discrimination.
Finally, he also thanked everyone who expressed their support for him in this important time of his life.
“My old self would be very proud. Truly grateful and still feeling a bit overwhelmed with the outpouring of support I’ve been getting the last few days.
“I’ve always questioned isn’t it too late to share my story? Everyone has already seen for many years how I choose to live my life. But I realized it’s not a question of when but why.
“To this day members of LGBTQ+ community are discriminated upon in the workplace, being bullied in their communities, or even violently killed simply by being themselves.
“If my story can create more awareness, start conversations or debates, or encourage others to not live in fear, then I’ve used my platform the best way I could.
“By inspiring others to live their truth, I can hopefully change the trajectory of someones future for the better.
“I want to thank the @megaentph @mega_magazine team and editor @g3cafe for this special collaboration which I’ll remember forever,” Raymond wrote on Instagram.
