Who Are You, Really?

Coming out as gay in a conservative country & dating someone overseas with Doo Mino

March 18, 2021 • Lydia Klemensowicz and Olivia Poglianich • Season 2 • Episode 5

In this episode, we talk to Mino, a kind and sincere Cambodian man. Mino talks to us about his adolescence in Cambodia, from coming out as a gay man to working for a Western company. Did he ever struggle with his sexuality? Were locals treated unfairly compared to Western employees?

Then we got into his cross-continental love story--from how he met his husband, maintained a long-distance relationship, and eventually moved to Germany to be with him (in the midst of a pandemic). Is he going through any culture shock? What was the hardest part of doing long-distance? Then we also have some meaningful chats about Mino's hopes and dreams.

You can connect with Mino through Facebook.
