Gilles Rocca, Italian actor and reality show star, on developing
his feminine side based on the strong women that reared him:
“The alpha male? I almost feel more like a woman than a man.
I have a predominantly feminine side. Yes, my aesthetic is very masculine, but
inside it’s different. Perhaps having had a very strong upbringing from my
mother, I learned a lot. My mother’s upbringing made me understand how
important it is to bring out my feminine side. I was very male up to a certain
point in my life, where I didn’t show my weaknesses, where I wanted to show
that I was the muscular one, the strong one, but in reality I was hiding so
many weaknesses that over the years I’ve managed to bring out, not fight them,
but embrace them. If I were to be attracted to a man, there wouldn’t be any
problems,” Rocca shared. “Would I give myself to a man? Well, if I liked a man,
yes, absolutely, I’d accept his advances; I wouldn’t have any problems. I like
women. But I’m absolutely open; in fact, I don’t even think it’s a question of
openness, but rather that it’s a natural thing; that is, respecting your
instincts, what you like, what you feel. I saw even more closely a world of
passion, talent, suffering, and love … In such a horrible world we live in, we
still need to assert our rights, and if we take these rights away from someone
else, we don’t complain when they take them away from us. Love has no gender or
race… love is just love.”
Those last four words just say it all: love is just love.
And wherever you find it, in whomever you find it, it’s not
wrong.
