Pooh went inside the conference hall, prepared to deliver his speech regarding same-sex marriage policies. He saw Pavel staring at him with tear-filled eyes, looking more pale than usual. Pooh decided to ignore him after receiving the "let's break up" message the previous night. Determined to stay focused, he greeted all the ministers and waited patiently for his turn to speak.

When the moment arrived, Pooh stepped up to the podium, his heart pounding with a mix of nerves and determination.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for giving me this opportunity to address such an important issue," Pooh began. "Today, I want to talk about same-sex marriage policies and why they are crucial for the equality and dignity of all citizens."

Pooh spoke passionately about the importance of recognizing and legalizing same-sex marriages. He highlighted the need for equal rights and protections under the law, the benefits of diverse family structures, and the positive impact of acceptance and inclusion on society as a whole.

As he concluded his speech, Pooh looked around the room, meeting the eyes of several supportive faces. But then, Pavel stood up, his voice trembling with emotion.

"I believe same-sex marriages should be prohibited," Pavel declared, his voice shaking but firm. "They might lead to brainwashing young minds and could result in a decline in population in the future."

The room fell silent, tension thickening the air. Pooh felt a surge of anger and frustration. He couldn't hold back any longer.

"I am gay," Pooh shouted, his voice echoing through the hall. "But I was forced to marry a woman and forced to impregnate her. In this country, there's no voice for gay or lesbian people. Our existence is either ignored or considered a sin."

Gasps and murmurs spread through the crowd as Pooh continued, his voice growing stronger with each word.

"I represent the LGBTQ community, and I stand with them. You don't have the right to judge people based on their sexuality. We deserve the same rights and respect as anyone else. Our love is just as valid, our families just as meaningful. Denying us these rights is a violation of our humanity."

The room erupted in applause, ministers and attendees alike rising to their feet in support. Pavel almost wiped his tears, visibly moved by Pooh's bravery and honesty.

The moment marked a turning point in the conference, with many realizing the profound need for change. Pooh's words resonated deeply, inspiring hope and courage in the hearts of those who had long felt silenced and oppressed.
