61. Saint Vincent

Saint Vincent – located in Harreveld, The Netherlands is today know for an infamous case involving Henk Heithuis. He was castrated because the monks accused him of seducing him. When he died the police was involved in a cover-up and destroyed all his belongings.

They cut the balls of some teenagers at this school because they preferred the normal man-woman relationship. It is a kind of cure but it is not nice. I prefer woman but I dislike being told who my partner should be, but I was angry when I read this.

The case was linked to the highest places in the Dutch society. Awful!

It was not a fun place to be as a teenager.
