“[Fernando and I] ended up popping up together and he swam over to me and said ‘Stay together,’ and then a minute later we were drowning again, and then we popped up together again, and the water was calm…we were trying to hold onto each other.
Fernando and I came back to one another and there was a telephone pole and we both held each other.”
All the criticism of the attention placed on Nate and Fernando because of their “celebrity” connections seems an attempt to place the scope of the disaster in perspective for many people.

While talking about his ordeal and how he and Fernando were separated and the swirling water, he said that his survival was a miracle and that it proved he was spared for a reason.
She or Nate or the Bengoechea family may have asked that it be taken down, Nate may have explained how it pained him in some way, and the person may have decided to take it down as a result.
While is is quite handsome (to me) he does little to promote the fact that he is one of the most well known gay celebs out there, and that his audience (as mentioned in a previous post) consists of a lot of women who have never met a gay person.

It turns out that Nate and his partner, Fernando Bengoechea, were vacationing in Arugam Bay, Sri Lanka, when the wave of water crashed through their hotel room and changed their lives forever.
Nate spoke slowly and directly of how he and Fernando had been swept through the water, surfacing a couple of times, holding on to each other as they were pushed under again and again, and how, ultimately, they slipped away from one another.
Everyone in the audience just accepted Nate and Fernando as Nate and Fernando—two men who loved each other, one of whom was now grieving in front of them.

 Wampum: The "friend" finally has a name
However, I haven't seen anything in the media where Fernando was written about (interviews, etc.) as a gay man. Fernando may be gay, and in a relationship with Nate, but that has probably not been established for certain yet to the satisfaction of the editors.
If he has repeatedly referred to Fernando as his friend in interviews, then the fact that Nate is gay doen't mean Fernando is in the eyes of the media.
The fact that Fernando's sister might have confirmed on an internet blog that they were a couple living together is not considered reliable information by most journalists.

Heart wrenching (especially as he described the moment when a wave tore his boyfriend, photographer Fernando Bengoechea away from him) Nate's story also was very descriptive of the confusion, horror, and pain the hundreds of thousands of victims went through December 26 and afterwards.
For some reason, the Fernando and Nate blog, which was run by Fernando's brother Marcelo, was closed after the Oprah show, with a redirect to Oprah's site.
Some suggest it is a victim of Oprah desire to own the story.
