EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW Cristian Buca: Gay is a strong and defining word

Cristian Buca is a young Romanian artist, only 23 years old, creator of a lot of masterpieces, amazing transformations in which the freedom of his spirit is present in every single small piece of it. Cristian plays with an open attitude and a child like curiosity, a child that discovers the world with sensitivity, and from all this play, beautiful things are born.

He is modest, he prefers to stay behind his works, let them talk about his talent. But he is very careful with everything that surrounds him.

All started by playing, passionate and curious, and if at the beginning he described himself as a nail stylist, in time, he became make-up artist, model, and recently, fashion designer.

His latest creation made a lot of controversies in Romanian media, the national costume gown designed and worn by Miss Universe Romania.

So, a free spirit, a bohemian, Cristian Buca accepted to talk exclusively with StiriGay.ro about him, about his career and a bit about his private life. We were attracted to what he worked, we are proud of him as we want to be proud with other Romanian gay values, that are a lot.

At what age did you discovered your passion and what made you develop it into art?

Since I was a little boy I loved colors and strange mixes that I made with them. Later, I discovered lines and shapes so I loved painting. As any child, I was a fan of painting and coloring. My parents, some open minded people, had the initiative and worked hard to develop my artistic skills to the max. At 11, 11 and a half, I started experimenting some new colors, the cosmetic ones that I discovered in my mother's closet. When they saw it was a serious thing, my parents said that it's ok to start a very basic make-up training, something that was fit to my understanding at that age. So, like that, from painting to make-up was just a step.

The 2010 Romanian Gay March was small but safe

A lot of journalists, enough supportive people and just a few members of the LGBT community... Only their leaders. Around 200 people.

Nice atmosphere, like for a celebration, with a plus brought by the group from the British Embassy, a supporter of the event. They gave a little glimpse from a true Pride. Overall things were as it supposed to be.

ACCEPT organized carefully the Diversity March. Security all over, two empty boulevards, police, gendarmes. The participans were more secure than a president. They prepared to deal with a huge crowd. But it wasn't one.

EXCLUSIVE: East Bloc Love, the documentary about sexuality that will film in Romania

Logan Mucha, a young filmaker born in Canada, raised in Australia, choosed Romania, among other countries, as a source for his future project, the documentary East Bloc Love. Logan wants to explore the sexual identities and their changes in former sovietic influenced countries and his project already announces to be a succes.

Logan will begin filming in Romania at the end of March and, although he studied deeply the Romanian sexual minorities and their development, he found out that people are still closeted and negative when it comes to sharing experiences.

What are you willing to do in order to have a child?

Marriage and children are rights not recognised for gays in most of the countries. Once it will be legalised, the step to normality will be complete but until then it's a lot a work to do. What should they do?

To lie, to pretend they are straight, to fool a girl to make them a child? To do a deal with a lesbian and make their dreams come true together? Use the power of money and buy a child from a surogate mother? What is the correct or moral measure? Even more, how normal is to use such scams in order to fulfill a human right?

Today, StiriGay.ro is presenting a case in which reality overcame morality, in Romania. For protection we will use fake names.
