I thank Saint Sebastian for saving me from being hit to death by a client, who on our way to the hotel noticed that I wasn’t a woman. I prayed to you in this misfortune and now I’m all right.

Saint Sebastian, I dedicate you this retablo. After I saw Mario in the bar with another man, I met Felipe. He helped me to forget about the treason of that swine. Now, when we had a relationship, I ask you to take care of us, so that nothing would separate us.

We dedicate this retablo to Saint Sebastian because we were made one for another. When our bodies meet we make love again and again, many times, drowning in pleasure.

I, Jesus Antonio, thanks Saint Sebastian because my wife understood my bisexuality and forgave me. Our marriage was saved, and I dedicate this retablo for that.

I was born and grew up with a sexual contradiction suffering jokes, insults and humiliation. My family was ashamed of my feminity, but it’s not my fault that I was born like this. Tired of constant bullying I left my home. I studied and fought. I live my life, and I’m happy. Maybe one day I’ll be understood. But now I’m grateful to Saint Sebastian for this surgery that changed my life.

Saint Sebastian, I offer you these flowers because you sent me Javier. He understood me when I was very sad. He gave me the satisfaction of succeeding with my beauty salon with his support and companionship.

San Sebastian, I offer you this retablo, because Veronica agreed to live with me. We thank to you for our happiness. Now we can live without hiding our relationship.

I give thanks to Saint Sebastian because I met Javier in Cancun. We found friendship and understanding in each other. We passed an unforgettable evening on the beach together. After knowing that I am gay, he agreed to live with me. Now we live our happy life with no fear of public opinion, because this is the life.

The relationship between Eduardo and Miguel is getting stronger thanks to love and understanding. They thank Saint Sebastian for that.

Saint Sebastian is praying for our sins.

San Sebastian, we dedicate this to you because one year ago we met each other on a marvelous gay-lesbian manifestation. We have been a couple ever since. We live for each other, without prejudice. We are for this Coexistence (Law), because to be a homosexual is not a crime, but the discrimination is.

Paco & Omar offer this retablo to Saint Sebastian for their second anniversary of being together, in spite of the fact that our families were against our relationship. It proves that love can do everything.
