I was a kid, a teenager, I discovered I was gay around that time, and she was a great friend who taught me a lot about it. Because she opened the door for me, right? Up different issues and that taught me a lot,” he says in an interview with Earth.

“At a time when I thought the world was very against what I felt, Madonna was an inspiration,” says Eduardo.

According to him, the singer inspired him to draw as a way to express himself. She even brought one of his paintings honoring him to the hotel door.

“I already wanted this so bad, so I started wanting this as a way to express this love for myself. This one is about a year old. It’s acrylic on canvas and I do all the drawing. […] I was inspired by this photo of her in the magazine with the famous Like A Virgin outfit and this LGBTQIA+ flag,” said Eduardo, showing the drawing.
