Ay Dalai, Dalai!

Last summer, an affirmation of the Pope Francisco the summer drowsiness shook us:

"If someone is gay, who am I to judge him?"The most progressive Christianity breathed a sigh of relief - this Pope is cool, he is with the poor, he recognizes the role of the woman and he also accepts the gays! - Amen.

Recently the representative of another great philosophical doctrine, Tenzin Gyatso, the Dalai Lama, has also spoken on the issue of Gay Marriage. In a interview made by the journalist Larry King He condemned the violence against gays and added: "If two people (of the same sex) totally agree, then that's fine." It seems that homosexuality is a sexual misconduct for Buddhists, but for others it is acceptable.

From an absolute respect for the beliefs of the whole world, the question would be, ¿How long will we continue to be an issue to tolerate? When will politicians, legislators and religious leaders realize that love and desire between two adult individuals is something that only concerns those two individuals?

It is almost a shame to have to remember that faith and spirituality that each is an inalienable right absolutely independent of the condition or the sexual option.

Brian Anderson, gay skater

Brian Anderson, the skate legend that came out of the closet to the 40 years

GAYLES.TV.-  Avril Lavigne, that rocker so ignored, has a song that reminds us of our character today, "Sk8ter boy". "He was a skater boy, she said see you later boy"... And is that the American Brian Anderson has been for more than 20 years the undisputed idol of the skater galaxy, a star of this sport little recognized in the conventional circuits. But what made him jump to the headlines of the mainstream press was his coming out of the closet in September 2016.

Gone were years of concealment, pretense and an identity conflict that even led him to have addiction problems with alcohol. "I saw him drown his shame with alcohol," one of his friends declared in a documentary about the athlete.

Brian Anderson skater Gayles.tv

And it is that, paradoxically, skateboarding, despite its countercultural and alternative aura, is an area that perpetuates stereotypes and homophobic and macho behaviors, they may wear their caps on the reverse and they wear sagging pants, but in general they boast of a masculinity that excludes those who do not enter the uniform. And that was the case with Brian until he decided to take the step of becoming the first skateboarding figure to openly acknowledge his homosexuality. And he did it in a documentary by "VICE Sports" in which he uncovered homophobia as usual in the skater environment.

More recently and coinciding with the presentation of his new collection of clothes for Nike SB, Anderson confessed to «Digital Verne of the Country«:« I was afraid of what might happen to my career and kept silent. Most of the time I was angry that I couldn't express myself freely. He invested that energy on the board. I behaved on the court as if I were a boxer ”.

His imposing physical appearance with a meter and 90 centimeters flying over the table did nothing but perpetuate the stereotype of masculinity that was expected of him. But things have ended up taking a turn of 180 º and Brian's coming out of the closet has turned it into a symbol for the LGTBI collective and especially for the athletes, boys and girls who hide their true identity under their arms, together with the skateboard iron. Now they finally have a reference, someone who shares the wedding photos with their boyfriend on Instagram, someone who actively participates in the fight for LGTBI rights, someone, in short, that supposes a support for those still living with fear of sharing what they are and what they feel.

See you later boy, see you later Brian! Happy weekend!

The message made a pun on the fact that Ratcliffe is also the owner of the cycling team Ineos. The term used the French term "pedaling", means pedaling but it is also a word that is used offensively to refer to gays.

Far from applauding the action of the referee the midfielder of Nice Wylan Cyprien declared to Canal Plus that the decision to interrupt the match was wrong: “We will not stop the game every time some stupid do something. I am against any form of discrimination, be it homophobia or racism, but they should not stop the party for so little. It's ridiculous«.

On Wednesday night, the French League reported that the tier Piantoni of the stadium of Nice where the songs arose will remain closed for the next meeting. The ridiculous thing is not to take a hate crime seriously.

Famous LGBT grateful to Obama

In the hands of Ellen DeGeneres, LGBT celebrities thank Barack Obama, while Trump is still in his mad race towards the abyss and the destruction of all the advances achieved

EDITORIAL GAYLES.TV.- Faces as well known as those of Laverne Cox, Jim Parsons, Tom Daley, Portia de Rossi the Sia have wanted to thank the former president (as it hurts that "ex") Barack Obama, everything he has achieved in relation to LGTBI rights during his presidency. The compilation presents it Ellen DeGeneres who has disseminated it through the YouTube account of "The Ellen Show" with a text that reads: "Ellen compiles a message with characters of the stature of Neil Patrick Harris, Evan Rachel Wood, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and many more to offer a personal message of appreciation to President Barack Obama for all he has been able to achieve in the name of equality. "

ellen and famous LGBT

One after another they are throwing excited messages like Evan Rachel Wood who thanks the "change what people think of us and, honestly, my own way of thinking about myself." Sia says that it seems "really surprising how much he has managed to achieve in those short eight years." Especially emotional is the intervention of Portia de Rossi who thanks her for having given her the possibility of marrying Ellen DeGeneres: "Thank you President Obama for allowing me to marry the girl of my dreams."

Ellen, who recently received the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Barack Obama, has wanted to pay tribute to the man who made possible the most positive period for the LGTBI community in US history and of course the approval of gay marriage.

They say that well born is to be grateful and only for that reason this gesture of a handful of famous LGTBI would make sense. But hopefully it will be the beginning of a tsunami of protests and rejection of the figure of Donald Trump and the barbarism that has begun to materialize since day zero of his appointment. LGTBI rights have disappeared from the official website of the Casa Blanca And that is only the beginning. When in just one week a psychopath in power passes through the lining the environmental rights of all humanity, dismantles an attempt to provide health coverage to the most disadvantaged, despises Hispanics and women, applauds torture and in a trance of megalomania unleashed declares the January 20 (date of his oath of office) as National Day of Patriotic Devotion, we must start putting on shoes. The worst conspiracy theories seem to have materialized, we do not know if he is a "reptilian", an "illuminati" or simply a maddened barbarian who has come to declare war on us and our children. Of those muds these muds.

The Generalitat de Catalunya incorporates affective-sexual education for children from 0 to 6 years of age

La rearrangement of the curriculum for stage 0-6 It has been done with the collaboration of professionals from different fields

El Government of the Generalitat today gave the green light to the Curricular modification in the infant stage, which emphasizes the need for boys and girls can develop a healthy affective-sexual education. In addition, the decree ordering the teachings of early childhood education that has seen the light today also presents education in the 0 to 6-year-old range as a single stage.

The new curriculum claims that boys and girls recognize their sexual and gender identity and for this it indicates that “they should have the opportunity to explore different gender roles through play and their daily lives”, as it appears in the application guide of the new curriculum that the Ministry of Education designed for teachers.

The manual states that the school must ensure that the environment where the boys and girls live “reflects a variety of gender perspectives, beyond socially marked stereotypes” y must contribute to the respectful accompaniment of the identity that each minor is developing.

«autonomy and confidence

The authors of the new curriculum point out what they already pointed out with the implementation of the same model in the most advanced ages: the logic of "Put the boy and the girl at the center of decisions and the development of their capacities and they are recognized as protagonists of their own learning”, they point. In fact, with the Coeduca't program, in force since 2019, these lessons had already been incorporated in the different stages.

La rearrangement of the curriculum for stage 0-6 It has been done "counting on the collaboration of professionals from different fields: experts from various educational entities, universities and active professionals who work with early childhood”. "For the first time, the infant decree presents 0-6 as a unique educational stage, with its own identity and in which the two cycles that comprise it respond to the same educational intention," they claim, highlighting that the decree "adds, unifies and gives coherence to the contributions of the experts and professionals who carry out their activity in this stage”.

For this, the guide establishes that teachers they must provide boys and girls with stories, games and didactic material respectful of equality with the purpose of "make diversity positive in a framework of normalization”.

“It is important that we keep in mind the multiple possibilities we have to raise affective, sexual, gender and family diversity in the school day-to-day” and do it"always in an inclusive, positive and close way”, underlines the manual for teachers.

Prevent sexist violence with affective-sexual education

The Generalitat incorporates affective-sexual education for children from 0 to 6 years of age

Parallel to establishing their sexual and gender identity, the guide recommends that minors develop an affective bond with family members and trusted adults.

The spokesperson of the Government, Patricia Plaja, has recalled that "there are studies of the Unesco since 2009 that emphasize the importance of affective-sexual education from early childhood” and has argued that "It helps to identify healthy relationships and those that are not, and also to prevent sexist violence and possible harassment in the future”.

In addition, it has highlighted the need to introduce content on the diversity of families, the fight against gender stereotypes, knowing one's own body or differentiating friendship and love relationships, as well as “know the limits of one's own body and generate confidence to talk with adults and that they can express what they often lack resources for ".

The job insecurity and submerged economy are two of the factors that cause more defenselessness in migrated people. also lonelinessBecause many of these people do not have a family or support network that can help them during confinement. But it is not only a question of provenance, as always the underlying issue is the precariousness of economic resources.

How does coronavirus affect LGBT + migrants?Rodrigo Araneda, president of the association ACATHI, puts the focus on «people in an irregular situation and in a shadow economy, not covered by an ERTE and without income or resources for food, rent or other basic needs. No possibility of maintaining stable income. Isolated and very vulnerable people, who are not part of the system: recently arrived and who have not yet been able to seek refuge or register. People who live from sex work, who are in rooms; who have applied for refuge and are still without assigned aid. They deplete resources and may be, or already are, homeless«.

Kifkif: "We try to maintain a positive attitude among LGBTI migrants"

La Association of Lesbian, Gay, Trans and Bisexual Migrants and Refugees of the Community of Madrid Kifkif these days has not stopped its activity. Except for exclusively face-to-face events, they have adapted their offer telematically to give support to people who require their help.

How does coronavirus affect LGBT + migrants?javier navarro, director of Kifkif explain what "The main demands that are coming to us these days are related to situations of need. Many of the people we work with are in an irregular administrative situation doing informal jobs. The situation of limited movement that is taking place due to the state of alarm has caused many of these people to lose their jobs and their economic livelihood. Difficulties to make ends meet, to be able to pay rent, supplies or to access basic food or hygiene products ”.

NAVARRO emphasizes the particular fragility in which people find themselves on the street: «Many of the people who currently need a place where they can take refuge so that they do not have to be walking on the street with the risk that this implies, further complicate their situation. All our support groups are still active online and are open to people who wish to participate. Loneliness is one of the great challenges facing applicants for international protection and migrants LGTB +,  We invite migrants to participate in these groups and thus make this quarantine more bearable ».

Cyberbullying causes the suicide of trans influencer Paulo Vaz

Paulo Vaz committed suicide after suffering brutal transphobic attacks on social media

The Brazilian trans policeman and influencer Paul Vaz committed suicide in San Pablo after being subjected to all kinds of transphobic attacks on social networks. The Brazilian content creator, who had more than 200 thousand followers on Instagram, had been enduring all kinds of insults and harassment on social networks for more than three weeks.

Vaz, 37, was married to youtuber Peter H.M.C.. According to the local press, the trigger for his suicide would have been the leaking of a sexual video of his former partner with another man and the violent reaction of followers of the networks. The couple, who had an open relationship, entered among the most commented topics in Twitter on Sunday.

A situation that unfortunately led him to the point of wanting to stop living, although the exact causes of his death have not yet been determined. That's how sad they pronounced this Tuesday from the National Association of Transvestites and Transsexuals of Brazil (ANTRA): "Paulo Vaz has left us. Unfortunately, we lost another one of us who couldn't bear to continue in such a violent and inhumane society.«.

A trans reference for many followers

Cyberbullying causes the suicide of trans influencer Paulo VazBorn in Minas Gerais, Poop, as he was affectionately known, spoke with more than 100 thousand followers on his Instagram profile about the challenges that surround the lives of trans people.

His followers have filled Paulo Vaz's most recent posts on Instagram with messages of affection and saying goodbye, as well as condemning the transphobia and homophobia with which she has been treated and judged. «Someone tell me it's a lie»Or«can't be real» are a couple of the many comments that fill his posts.

“Frozen II”: Disney falls flat

Elsa, the protagonist of Frozen has run out of the expected girlfriend in her second installment

GAYLES.TV.- Our joy in a well, Disney cowers, gives up making history and Elsa runs out of girlfriend in this second installment of Frozen. The global campaign that was organized to end stereotypes in animated films have failed with the economic interests and pressures received by Disney.

Since the premiere of Frozen at the 2013, speculation about the alleged homosexuality of Elsa, the queen of the cold, has not ceased. Just do a search on Google that includes the terms Elsa and gay so that the results leave us more ice than stone ... 77.200.000 !!! And it is that what we took for granted a couple of years ago in our article "Lesbian Disney Princesses!"Finally it has not been fulfilled.

What was expected as a definitive step by the multinational in what represents LGTBI characters will have to wait, at least until the foreseeable third installment.

Disney's arguments for giving up what would have meant a milestone are varied. J, co-director of the film, said: “I was very clear that Elsa was not ready for a relationship. She is very shy. The important thing about this movie is that it is a woman who carries the weight of a kingdom on her shoulders and has to deal with extraordinary power. ”. Already on the promotional tour of Frozen II, some responsible ones dispelled the doubts on the matter affirming that nothing confirmed that Elsa was lesbian. Despite this they recognize feeling "Excited" Because of the debate that has been generated and they do not rule out raising Elsa's sexuality in next installments. At the moment the protagonist is conceived as an independent woman in the process of self-knowledge, someone who does not need to live a romance to assert herself as a character. A breakthrough in itself.

Although Disney's argument is correct, it is worth going out of the sectors that consider the whim of the LGTBI community the claim of lesbianism of Elsa Miriam Guijarro, coordinator of the FELGTB culture group, exposes it in his statements to ICON: "So that children do not see lesbianism as something negative, so that bullying in the classrooms for guidance reasons could end and so that, in the future, Elsa could be an empowering weapon for future adolescents".

Reasons are not lacking, hopefully the sanity of those responsible for the saga will lead them to take those arguments into account when considering the sentimental future of Queen Elsa.

BS Atelier, handmade eroticism

Together we triumph! More lesbian advertising

With the slogan "Together we triumph" the lingerie brand Triumph points to the fashion of advertising starring lesbians

GAYLES.TV.- We will never tire of saying to what extent it is important for companies to include LGTBI references in their advertising campaigns. Because it normalizes, because it makes our realities reach the general public in a friendly and attractive way.

But what is surprising in this case is that the advertising spot for the lingerie brand "Triumph" It is played exclusively by couples of women, women in love, women who laugh, who have fun, who get married, who take care of their children, women who live their empowered condition (yes, the word on this occasion does come to mind ) and without complexes. Women who help each other, who support each other, who practice that concept that from time to time resonates more and more in certain circles: sorority.

together we triumph

Sorority that means counting on each other to accompany us, strengthen us, push us to be better, stronger, freer and capable of living our own life without asking anyone's permission, with the support of our sisters, who we are after all all. Because soror is the Latin root meaning sister and RAE It would be good to begin to consider the inclusion of that derivative cultist who is already taking over the street.

And by the way, are not we women the main consumers of lingerie? And I said principals, that are not exclusive, you understand me. And this clarification serves to silence the possible voices that question precisely that, that only women appear in the announcement. Perhaps because one of those voices would prefer to see the bodies of these women exposed to the gaze of male desire. Well, it's going to be no. Women as a potential audience, client women, women with, for and for women.

Because what draws attention and especially distinguishes this campaign from any other that integrates LGTBI people, is that when the Making off it is discovered that the film crew is also mainly composed of women! At least it is what is perceived in those sequences that appear in the video.

So an applause for "Triumph", a joy for the senses to enjoy this campaign and of course here you have the two videos, the spot and the making off. Enjoy them and you know, "Together we Triumph"!

Murcia and LGTBI education

The talks of a LGTBI collective are suspended in Murcia due to pressure from the ultra-Catholics

GAYLES.TV.- The Murcian Minister of Education, Adela Martínez-Cachá, has been forced to announce the immediate suspension of talks on sexual affective education that were intended to impart to 1.300 students of the Murcia. The talks that ran by volunteers of the LGTB collective "No Te Prives" They had already started in some educational centers.

The reason that the counselor has made that decision is the pressure received by the Family Forum. Your president, Alfonso Galdón, he welcomed the measure alleging that in this way the rights of parents and minors that are included in the Magna Carta in relation to Education were respected: "our initiative has been in defense of the constitutional rights and fundamental freedoms of parents, specifically to educate their children in freedom and conscience. We have not gone against any collective or organization. We have simply denounced acts that clearly transgressed the Constitution and the jurisprudence of the Supreme Court. "

For their part, the volunteers of the “No Te Prives” collective have regretted that the council has yielded to pressure from far-right groups that in no way represent the entire educational community. In a way, the argument of the Family Forum could be nothing if, following Galdón's own advice, parents and guardians had a favorable response to the continuity of the talks. "The counselor has assured us that she will use the document presented by the Family Forum to require the express consent of parents to receive training of this type, so that it is mandatory that parents know in detail the content of the talks or activities in which their children will participate ”. Maybe they backfired and get a surprise.

Because if we consider that the objective of the talks was the prevention of harassment and bullying of students for their orientation or sexual identity and education in respect and tolerance of diversityWe will easily come to the conclusion that in Murcia the result of this situation is that the fanaticism and selflessness of the ultra-Catholics has prevailed over common sense. And it is not a question of talking for the sake of talking since "No Te Prives" has been giving its talks since 2010, always at the request of the management of the educational centers and to date there have been no complaints of any kind.

It would be good for the heads of the Family Forum to review the contents of the talks before denouncing, just as they would think twice to check that they are collected in the LOMCE.

Talk at an institute


At the close of this article we have known that the Ministry of Education has agreed to resume the sexual affective education program in charge of the "No Te Prives" volunteers. They will do it, yes, pleading to the demands of the Family Forum that requested parental permission. Well, they already have it and from now on it will be the parents who decide if their children attend the activity or not. If attendance is not considered appropriate, students may leave the classroom while the rest of their classmates participate in the activity. I said, the shot by the butt.

The permit will be required for any activity that involves "non-curricular skills." In a statement, the Minister of Education, Martínez-Cachá, has detailed that “after the request of parents, and to maintain a working day with the collective 'No te deprives', it has been decided to develop the talks on affective-sexual education informing to families and enabling them to choose whether or not their children participate ”. This measure is adopted by indication of the Education Inspection and adds: "The Inspection itself will supervise the model or the type of information on the content of the seminars that will be provided by the families of the students, guaranteeing that families can choose".

In short, the same has happened with the mobilizations of this type of ultra-Catholic entities, call the Forum of the Family or Make yourself heard: a lot of noise and few nuts, waste resources to publicize argumentation that in the best of cases contravenes common sense and in the worst lies in an interested way.
