TWO LIVES it is a project by Alessandra Maria Starace and the volunteers of the Gionata project to tell the lives of LGBT+ migrants often on the run from States where war, intolerance and homotransphobia kills. We would like to collect and tell their forgotten stories to show the difficulties but also the encounters that have changed their lives, because we remember that each of us can always make the difference in welcoming the other, because "whoever saves a life saves a world". Do you want to help us, do you want to tell us about your story or a person close to you? Write to us gionatanews@gmail.com
