Luca Legoratti
I grew up as a queer kid in a small village in Northern Italy. Being discriminated against my entire childhood, I learned notions of homophobia, power exploitation and privilege from what many would refer to as a “way-too-young-to-know” age. Society has been able to silence me for a long time, but not anymore. I am a proud queer man now, and my life resonates with Angela Davis’ words, “I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept”.

I'm 19 and I come from Milan. For 12 years I practiced swimming at an international competitive level and for this reason I experienced a different adolescence than my peers. I stopped swimming when I was 17 and my life started from there. After a few months of giving up I started getting to know myself and listen to my needs and consequently I started coming out. Mom and dad didn't take it very well but I gave them their way and time to understand that it's not my sexual orientation that defines me as "different."
I had a relationship for almost 3 years with a girl and together we built what for us was the "plan B" of our life. Media exposure on tiktok. This path took us on television this summer, in fact, to talk about us and the difficulty nowadays for kids our age who are part of the LGBT+ community. Thanks to social media, I discovered that I like to talk, tell and encourage people who may have more difficulty in "talking about themselves".
