Extraordinary personal stories from around the world: today the openly gay Brazilian MP who won a reality TV show before getting elected to parliament. He explains how he was never able to tell his father about his sexuality. And the former British soldier who canoed single-handed the entire length of the Congo River, facing crocodiles, hippos and men with machetes.
