First gays to donate blood in the UK after years of ban

Until now, a male donor who had sex with another man in the previous three months could not donate blood

Since last Monday, coinciding with the International Blood Donor Day, gays can now donate blood in United Kingdom. Until now, a man who had had sex with another man in the previous three months could not donate blood A fact that made it very difficult for gays to donate blood. The new regulations came into force on Monday in England, Scotland and Wales, and from July on North Ireland.

Until now, British regulations for giving blood discriminated against gay men because of their condition. Now the questionnaire prior to donation has been modified, which asks the same question to everyone regardless of their orientation. Anyone who has had the same sexual partner in the past three months will be able to make a donation, which means that more gay and bisexual men will be able to donate blood, platelets, and plasma.

First gays to donate blood in the UK after years of banBlood discrimination

The first pair of donors has been the one formed by a Catalan, Oscar Cavero, and a French, Xavier Arias-Petit. They both work in the British Health System and they have followed the change very closely: «It was important for both of us to be involved and to be the first as a couple.", He says Oscar.

A Xavier He was not so surprised by the restriction, which also discriminates against him in his country: «En France I can't give blood either and I've never understood it. I have always found it discriminatory to tell a person that because of their sexuality they cannot donate blood. It was a matter of time and we are proud. Oscar Remember that the prohibition is based on the stigma that on the homosexual community, began in the 80s and 90s by the SIDA boat and especially about men, but that currently no longer makes sense.

In fact, the regulations in Spain is an exception. Until now the United Kingdom, there were only seven countries in Europe where the sexual condition is not taken into account in order to give blood; Italy, Latvia, Poland, Russia and SpainAlso San Marino y Albania.

Hungary passes a controversial law against the LGTB + collective

Hungary vetoes talking about homosexuals and transgender people at school and assimilates them to pedophiles

El Hungarian Parliament approved this Tuesday a legislative package promoted by the Government ultra-conservative prime minister Viktor Orbán that prohibits the "promotion”Of homosexuality and gender reassignment before minors under 18 years of age. A controversial regulation that, in practice, prevents addressing homosexuality in educational programs at school and that has been described as homophobic by the bulk of the opposition.

This prohibition is contained in a legislative package that also includes measures to protect minors against pedophile abuse - introduced in a constitutional amendment with which the opposition substantially agreed -, in an amalgamation of human rights activists and activists of the collective LGBT + they consider perverse in that it links both issues. More than 5.000 Hungarians had demonstrated on Monday afternoon in Budapest against this initiative.

Talking about homosexuality is prevented in schools

The text does not only affect films that are considered to promote homosexuality - as Billy Elliot To give an example-, but, in reality, and although it is supposedly designed against pedophilia, it prohibits exposing minors under 18 years of age to pornography and any content that promotes or shows homosexuality or the change of sex.

This affects the promotion of books where homosexuality appears, it prevents talking about homosexuality in schools and in any educational program, and it does not allow any related advertising. Therefore, the groups LGTB + will not be able to advertise and companies like Coca-Cola, who campaigned for gays, they will see their advertising censored if they touch on the subject.

Prohibition of sex education in schools and censorship in the cinema

Hungary passes a controversial law against the LGTBI collectiveIn this way, a registry of pedophile offenders will be created accessible to the public and jail terms will be up to 20 years for some classified cases of child pornography, among other measures to protect minors.

However, and apart from these articles, the new legislation includes prohibitions regarding school sex education, where activities that have the purpose of "promoting homosexuality" or gender change may not be carried out.

Likewise, televisions may not broadcast films or programs that are considered to promote content LGTB + for children under 18 years old, and hundreds of children's movies and books will be cataloged for adults for that same reason.

A new attack on the LGTB + collective

The bill «is unprecedented in the European Union" Y "endangers the mental health of young people LGTB+«, Say in a statement five NGO for the defense of homosexual rights, and International Amnesty. "Ban themed shows LGTB + in schools and social awareness programs, severely limit freedom of expression and children's rights«, They add. "These proposals will further stigmatize people LGBT +, exposing them to further discrimination in what is already a hostile environment”He said in a statement David vig, director of Amnesty International Hungary.

Since coming to the government in 2010, Orban he has had the homosexual community in his sights and has progressively curtailed their rights, at the same time that homophobia has grown considerably in the country.

In the Constitution of 2011 it was determined that marriage was the union between a man and a woman, and thus prevented any homosexual union. Last year banning same-sex couples from adopting, following the scandal MEP from his party caught in gay orgy.

During the pandemic, the government also prohibited transsexuals from changing their names. Even a children's book entitled «Wonderland for everyone»To educate respect for minorities was described by the government as«homosexual propaganda that should be banned in schools«, A text that will be excluded from the law.

Pedro Sánchez removes Carmen Calvo from the Trans Law

 Equality and Justice advance in the negotiation of the Trans Law so that the text reaches the Council of Ministers before Pride

GAYLES.TV.- This means that the Trans Law will pick up the gender self-determination and it will allow the change of legal sex without the need for a medical or psychological report, as well as hormonal and / or genital surgery of minors under 16 and 17 years old without the need for parental consent.

The possible veto of the LGTB + collective to the socialists on Pride Day that is celebrated on June 28 has changed everything.

The draft of the Trans Law provides for the legal change of sex at age 16The pressure of the Trans and LGTB + associations, mainly PlataformaTrans, Chrysallis, FELGTB, Fundación Triangulo, Euforia, which he warned the PSOE to "refrain from appearing" in the Pride has been decisive for Pedro Sánchez has given the order to Calvo, secretary of Equality of his party, to yield to Podemos.

There will be a Trans Law, it will no longer be necessary to wait - as current legislation requires - two years to prove that there is "gender dysphoria" in order to start the transition process that includes genital surgery. The law also provides that the entire health process is free, since it includes an expansion of the portfolio of common services of the National Health System to cover the needs of trans people. The benefits include the necessary health care for hormonal treatment, voice therapy, genital surgeries, mammoplasties, mastectomies and prosthetic material.

Gender self-determination

New proposal to unblock the Trans Law

One of the most controversial points is the inclusion of the concept of gender self-determination, which provokes the rejection of a small part, but with great power, of the traditional feminism embedded in the PSOE but which does not represent the general feminism movement, which is trans- inclusive.

Current legislation allows changing the name and sex on the DNI as long as there is a medical or psychological report. This requirement will be eliminated with the Trans Law, which considers "the free declaration of the person felt" sufficient to change the registered sex from the age of 16.

In other words, minors between the ages of 16 and 17 may change their sex without the need for psychological or medical tests. On the other hand, between the ages of 12 and 15, whoever wishes to make the registration change must do so through their legal representatives, normally through the family. But if they do not agree, "a judicial defender" will be appointed. The procedures, in any case, will be free of costs or fees.

This rule will make Spain is one of the European Union countries with the most advanced legislation on trans people. Keep in mind that many nations have laws that recognize and protect the rights of people with these characteristics, but require having treated with hormones, operated or submit a medical report to recognize the change of sex.

Only six countries require only the will of the people for this process: Denmark, Belgium, Portugal, Ireland, Luxembourg and Malta. And with nuances that are not present in the norm that the Ministry of Irene Montero raises.

The Danes, for example, require six months of reflection before starting the process; the Irish must make a formal declaration; While in Belgium, Portugal and Luxembourg, the last countries to incorporate this legislation, minors under 16 and 17 can only do so with a medical statement.

The approval of this standard represents a overwhelming defeat of the PSOE, which has always maintained that the supposed right to self-determination lacks "legal rationality" and deprives feminism of a subject. The party's argument on this matter was made public in June 2020 through a document signed by Carmen Calvo, José Luis Ábalos, Santos Cerdán and Alfonso Rodríguez Gómez de Celis.

Consequently, it is possible to speak of victory by United We Can in the struggle that the two government parties have been fighting for a long time to become spokespersons for the feminist movement, which has an increasingly leading role for the trans community.

As he says Mar Cambrollé, president of the Trans Platform, who are "now we are going to wait for the full text to make an assessment«.

New proposal from LGTB + entities to unblock the Trans Law

Trans Law: two requests in three months, but without requirements

La State Federation of Gays, Transsexuals, Lesbians and Bisexuals (FELGTB), Together with Triangle Foundation y Chrysallis have met this Monday in the Moncloa with representatives of Executive those who have asked to include in the Trans Law a maximum period of three months to complete the gender registration change process.

With this proposal they want to overcome the main obstacle posed by the PSOE for the approval of the Trans Law. The legal articulation of the right to self-determination of the registered sex of trans people continues to be the excuse used by the socialists.

From the socialist representation of Government the proposal had been launched to require people who want to modify their gender or registered sex the need to go with witnesses than to carry out the procedure. A formula that leaves behind the requirement of current legislation to have a medical report and a two-year hormonal process, but that places requirements on self-determination promoted by the draft Ministry of Equality.

Self-determination in three months

FELGTB, Triángulo Foundation and the association of trans minors Chrysallis reject this formula, and have proposed that people who want to change their sex in the registry do so with a deadline of three months. It would be a first request before the Civil Registry, and a new appearance after three months to finalize the process.

«Gender determination cannot be conditioned by third parties, witnesses, testimonies, documentary evidence, medical reports or any third party assessment." has warned Uge Sangil, President of the FELGTB.

Children under 12 years old

If the Trans Equality Law included the possibility that minors under 16 could make the change of sex, the entities now propose that this be possible between 12 and 16 years, while minors can only access a name change in the first process.

«But always respecting the sentence of the constitutional«, Has highlighted Ana Valenzuela, president of Chrysallis. In this sentence the High Court endorses that minors «with enough maturity»And who are in a stable transsexual situation can request their gender change in the Civil Registry.

Free and equal

«Our struggle is to be, trans people do not have to prove or prove that we are trans », has insisted sangil before journalists, to indicate that the work of the State is «recognize»This situation and «Modify the error»That was committed in the current standard.

In the act, the president of Take up has read some words that the former deputy of the PSOE in the Assembly of Madrid, Carla Antonelli, has transferred them, in which it indicates that the measures demanded by the group are in line with the commitment of the PSOE with trans people and with the initiative that led to Congress in this matter in 2018. In the opinion of Antonelli, «no one has the right to protect the trans community, or to witness their intimate decisions«. «We want each other free and equal in a country that does not humiliate any of its members«, Has pointed out the socialist.

Enrique del Pozo opens the channel

Enrique del Pozo suffered harassment at the age of eleven by a priest: «He wanted me to masturbate him«

Henry of the Well, new collaborator of the program Viva la vida de Telecinco, starred this Sunday «The ladder of emotions«, A section in which the collaborators recall passages from their lives that have marked them and that, until now, have been unknown to a large part of the public. The artist has not skimped on details about the hardest episodes of his life, such as a complicated childhood, the acceptance of his sexual orientation or the betrayals suffered within the television world, from which he had been away for a decade until now.

The collaborator has explained to viewers that he suffered an attempted sexual abuse by a priest when he was only 11 years old. "It still produces a kind of knot in my stomach”, He expressed before beginning the story. «He wanted me to masturbate him, but the terrible thing was the subsequent blackmail, I was afraid that they would take away the scholarship with which I was studying and my mother would not be able to pay for my studies, I never told my mother about this. I remember being afraid of falling asleep, he was in the next room and I was terrified to be there with him«.

Bisexuality

Another important point of the life experience of Henry of the Well it was his public acceptance as a bisexual person. A "fight"Because of which he had to make montages with women so that the media would think they were his partners."We were forced to pretend, I had to do two montages with women »he admitted. Until he realized that it was better to confess his bisexuality: «I realized that I couldn't be 40 years old fooling the public and fooling myself«.

The forbidden night (Antena 3) was the space that helped him recognize that he was not heterosexual. In fact, thanks to television, he met his current partner: «I've been with him for three months, he contacted me through social networks, he was a bodyguard when I worked in Martian Chronicles and there he introduced us Mainat (…) Twenty years later, destiny has wanted him to fall in love with me and for me to fall in love with him.l ».

Couple of a famous soccer player

Also Enrique dropped a bomb that left all collaborators intrigued. «I was dating a well-known footballer for four years«He admitted. After useless comments to get a name out of him, he settled: «I am not going to enter the game because it is a complicated situation ... Maintaining a relationship with a footballer does not mean that they are always partying. It is a very hard and sacrificial profession… If the player is bisexual or homosexual, the issue is much more complicated because there is still a lot of homophobia«.

Pressure to pass LGTBI and Trans laws before Pride

A total of 76 organizations in defense of the rights of Trans and LGTBI people ask "not to invite" the PSOE to the Pride demonstration

The Government intensifies the internal negotiation of laws LGTBI and trans, which have been stuck for months, with the aim of having the legislative package ready to be approved in the Council of Ministers before the celebration of Pride (Junio ​​28). Senior officials in the ministries of Justice and Equality, who are the two proponents of both standards, held a meeting all day this Wednesday at the headquarters of the department that pilots Juan Carlos Campo placeholder image to advance.

The main stumbling block remains gender self-determination: the PSOE Does not yield and continues to bet on imposing some requirement on the legal change of sex of trans people beyond the “mere will”. Negotiations have been stuck for months and Huntsman blames the socialists who, as they approve in Canary Islands they lay him down in Madrid. "Or the PSOE it contradicts or they have not found out what they are approving in the Canary Islands”, They criticize from We can.

Despite this negotiation, the starting points are still far apart. «I'm focused on what I committed to Congress: recover the 2019 consensus, enforce that social consensus to defend the rights of trans people and that we can have for the Pride trans law and LGTBI law already in process", Has expressed Irene Montero.

With "the 2019 consensus”The minister refers to the bill promoted then by the socialists, which endorsed gender self-determination and which fell on the verge of being approved by the dissolution of the Cuts due to the electoral advance. That proposal had the endorsement of all the groups of the Camera. However, since then the PSOE has changed position.

They ask that the PSOE «don't be invited»To Pride

The issue is especially disturbing in the socialist ranks as the date of the Pride celebration approaches LGTBI to the reaction that may be against their charges in the demonstration, the central act of the event, due to the entrenchment in the negotiation. In the retina of the socialists these days is the rejection of the leaders of Ciudadanos in march 2019.

A total of 76 organizations in defense of people's rights Trans and LGTBI have written a letter to the organization of the festivities of the Pride of Madrid (COGAM and FELGTB) in which they ask them to PSOE «don't be invited»To the demonstration«if you have not lifted the blockade before»To the processing of the Trans Law written by the Ministry of Equality.

It is not yet clear whether the new rights will be included in a single law (as the PSOE) or in two, as you consider United We can that was agreed in the coalition pact. Huntsman agreed to merge the texts into one at the request of the collectives, who tried to mediate between the parties by proposing that there was a single project and that the PSOE accept self-determination. For the socialist part of the Government It was clear that it would finally be a single law with an important chapter dedicated to trans people, but United We can maintains that it accepted that condition if its wording regarding the legal change of sex was maintained.

New Study: The Bible Doesn't Condemn Gay Relationships

A new study concludes that the Bible does not contain any arguments against same-sex relationships

El Wijngaards Institute for Catholic Studies, London has just presented an 80-page study that concludes that the Biblia it does not contain any arguments against faithful and long-term same-sex relationships. «The magisterium's condemnation of homosexual acts now has no theological basis"Said the spokesman for the LGBT + Catholic Committee in Nuremberg, Michael Brinkschröder.

La Biblia it has been used for decades to justify discrimination against same-sex relationships. The report "Christian Objections to Same-Sex Relationships: An Academic Assessment«, Published at the beginning of May, shows that«Bible verses that have long been viewed as condemnations of those relationships weren't doing any of that«. Claims that the Biblia condemns same-sex relationships are based on misinterpretations and translations. The report found that passages from Levitical often cited as the most explicit condemnations of homosexuality have actually been mistranslated.

More than 60 academics High-profile people from around the world endorse the report. In presenting their findings, the academics ask the Pope Francisco and Vatican take urgent action to change the church's teaching on same-sex relationships. They specifically criticize the recent decision of the Vatican de ban blessings for same-sex couples, arguing that the ruling vilifies same-sex couples. The academics urge putting in place a transparent and independent consultation process on their findings in an attempt to move forward in an evidence-based way.

The study coincides with the challenge of a hundred German priests to the Vatican by blessing homosexual couples

Priests and dioceses of all Germany have joined the initiative «Liebe Gewinnt»Or«Love wins»And this week hundreds of same-sex couples have publicly blessed in cities like Berlin, Munich and Cologne and in rural areas.

The action of rebellion against Vatican was born in the month of March when more than 230 teachers of catholic theology of Germany signed a joint statement. They were thus protesting against a pronouncement by the Vatican which indicated that the Catholic Church could not bless same-sex marriages. In the manifesto, the group stated that the measure was “marked by a paternalistic air of superiority and discriminates against homosexual people and their life plans".

"We will continue to accompany people who enter into a binding relationship in the future and we will bless their relationship"This group warned in a statement. To reinforce this protest, dozens of Catholic priests from Germany They have chosen to bless gay couples and broadcast these ceremonies live over the internet.
