My Friend in the shadows

I just want to tell you about my friend who has a life within a wide shadow.We met thru a mutual interest. He sent me a message and it all started out right there. He immediately said he's from Russia. And how lucky I am since I want to meet a Russian man someday. Or maybe be in love with someone from Russia. Those days where we start talking were just casual. And now we are flirting with each other. And there I got to know his life. He works in a court and as a stripper at a club by night. He is the oldest in which he really needs to work harder than much anyone else.I notice in his profile account that he posts about gay stuff that much. I understood since this could be the only way to express his real color. The saddest thing he told me, is that his parents does not know he is gay. And if they knew, they will literally kill him or let him detained. I even asked him if his co-workers at the club has a hint of him being gay. He said, he doesn't care. He really hates his country for not being more accepting towards homosexuals. He even hates his fellow countrymen.Sometimes he can't resist hiding and wants to be open and tell everyone the truth, but he can't. I told him to be strong and brave. And I am just really sad about his situation. Literally under the shadows. Shadows in a cold and dark place.
