The guests of the night were greeted by the scandalous Okeanide. “LGBT* lives are related not only to deficits,“ – said Okeanide. „We are stronger than all the bigots, because we know how to laugh even at times, when you only want to cry.” Because the occasion was really special, the guests of the night were treated with a glass of wine as well.
