The makeup artist burst out crying. He further disclosed:

‘I knew that I was born different. I was traumatized to be me. And I had been living in fear my entire life. I had been ashamed. She said, “Mario, from this day forward you are never again to live in shame or fear.”‘

Mario Dedivanovic and his life and family

Mario further asked people who were gay to come out fearlessly and also implored others to accept them. He said:

‘Little boys and girls around the world are growing up with pain and fear like I did, thinking of killing themselves every single day like I did,’ Mario said through tears. ‘Because they are different and they are scared to be themselves, because their culture or their family judged them.’

He concluded:

‘I stand here for the first time in my life a proud 37-year-old gay man…I finally feel that bright light that I’ve been dreaming of my whole life is pouring from my soul around my body and it’s mine. And I can now live the life that I deserve and right now I feel true happiness.’

Kim walked over to Mario and hugged him as he began crying. His mother was also waiting backstage to congratulate him for coming out.
