The harsh story of a ‘First Dates’ diner: “My parents wanted to correct my sexuality at all costs”

The ‘First Dates’ restaurant opens its doors daily to people with tough personal histories who are looking for love. This is the case of Lester, a 27-year-old clerk, who spoke of the rejection he suffered from his family because of his sexual orientation: “My mother and grandmother founded a church and my father was a colonel in the Nicaraguan army. For them, gays should burn in hell.”

Lester continued his story by explaining that he revealed to his family that he was gay at the age of 15, at which point he began to have a hard time: “When they found out they took me to a psychologist and it was a very traumatic stage for me. I discovered that she was in cahoots with my mother to carry out the therapy in another way.”

They wanted to correct my sexuality at all costs, to the point that they tried to inject me with male hormones because they said I was too feminine.. Fortunately, a sister of my father, my aunt, stopped them because they were going to ruin my life,” the boy told Carlos Sobera during his first minutes on the Cuatro program.

After remembering this difficult stage, Lester knew that he was going to meet Stalin, a 26-year-old kitchen assistant, who entered the restaurant clarifying that he does not identify with the symbology that his name has: “I’m not a communist, but I don’t know what my parents were thinking to call me that.”

Once seated at the table that the restaurant reserved for them, the truth is that both took advantage of the evening to get to know each other a little more thoroughly. In fact, both were so happy that they began to dance ‘Ateo’ by C. Tangana and Nathy Peluso with the rest of the local diners.

In the last minutes of dinner, these good moments were not decisive, since neither of them wanted to have a second date with the other. “We have had neither chemistry nor feeling. I have not seen in him the partner that I would like for a relationship,” Lester explained before leaving the restaurant.
