Saints’ day. Sebastian

Dear followers:

currently St Sebastian is a true icon of gay people. Really his body as a target of the arrows during the martyrdom of his legend, is a nice and genuine motif. But please don’t confuse me, I’m only a man, who doesn’t like others men. Thanks for your understanding.
