"My friend's friend", a lesbian and firecracker tribute to Éric Rohmer

"My friend's friend" is a five-way lesbian comedy of tangles directed by Zaida Carmona

Zaida Carmona has presented his first feature film «my friend's friend" at D'A Film Festival of Barcelona. The film is an explicit homage to Eric Rohmer and his tapeMy friend's frienda«. Carmona has created a five-way romantic comedy in which he plays a giddy and confused character who returns to Barcelona after a love breakup. A moral tale that takes place in the bathrooms, beds and streets of Barcelona, as described in the Verkami with which they started the project.

That naturalness is what the filmmaker wanted to capture in her first feature film, which began with a question: What would the film of Eric Rohmer brought to my lesbian and queer environment? Carmona recognizes that the feature film was born as a free, very free, adaptation of the French film. An influence, that of this representative of the New wave, which at no time did he try to hide: from the title of the film to certain shots, which constitute literal tributes, such as the one that introduces us to the character of Zaida, but also the director's movie marathon that takes place during the plot.

"A film by friends and for friends"

"My friend's friend" was shot in thirteen days during the pandemic and with a demanding curfew that did not prevent it from having different locations. That the actresses involved in the shoot were friends made it easier. “When we wrote the script, I knew I wanted to film Rocio Saiz; I had written that role inspired by her, so it couldn't be someone else. The same thing happened to me with my character, I imagined myself in it and I couldn't get out of it, even though I was terrified of directing and interpreting at the same time”, explains Carmona to Spindrift. "FThat's when I started imagining friends or acquaintances in different characters and situations. It was a film by friends and for friends, and it had to be done with them".

We wanted to create a fiction with positive references and not necessarily exemplifiers, talking about aunts who don't always do it well, and nothing happens. I wanted to make a film about my biggest referents, the friends with whom I have created this safe, familiar and somewhat firecracker environment.
because quoting Brigitte Vassal, one of our most beloved cameos, “that the firecracker does not take away the political".

The educational guide of the Junta de Andalucía makes trans childhoods invisible

The Junta de Andalucía ignores trans childhoods in a sexual education guide and uses the same phrase that HazteOir used on its transphobic bus

On page 10 of “Emotional and sexual education in the family”, one of the educommunicative guides for families published by the Junta de Andalucía, the following is proposed: “I explain to him that boys have a penis and girls have a vulva.”. If the parents answer 'no' to that or other questions, the Board encourages that “it's time to do it”, making invisible a reality such as that of transsexual minors and those who are protected by trans laws as they are especially vulnerable.

The text is dangerously reminiscent of the orange bus campaign of the ultra-Catholics of HazteOir with the transphobic motto “Boys have penises. Girls have a vulva. Do not be fooled. If you are born a man, you are men. “If you are a woman, you will continue to be one.”.

Invisibilized trans childhoods

“Boys have a penis and girls have a vulva.”The guide makes no mention of transsexual boys or girls, nor to transsexuality in general. This way of ignoring minors and transsexual people violates the basic principles of Andalusia LGTBI Law (approved with the votes of the PP) and the state trans and LGTBI laws. Sources from the Ministry have explained to elDiario.es briefly that the phrase itself is framed in “an assumption” to which it is necessary to respond “yes" or "No.".

"It is an assumption, yes, but it is an assumption that makes invisible a reality that exists and the public administration must demand that visibility.", Says Antonio Ferre, president of the federation Andalusia Diversity, who advocates for “do not perpetuate the stigma” and for informing “from the perspective of sexual diversity".

“Pure transphobia”

Ana Castro, Chrysallis Andalusia, considers that the guide prepared by the Junta de Andalucía “it's a disaster". "We cannot try to teach bodily diversity by focusing only on genitality because it stigmatizes and pathologizes our childhoods.", remember.

Sergio Padial, President of the Alternative Association in Colors, concludes that it is a “phrase clearly against trans people. You don't have to be very smart to understand that. You are stating something that is not real, because there are not only boys with penises or girls with vulvas. And you are telling parents that this is how they have to tell their children, that 'it's time to do it.'. It's pure and simple transphobia.".

“Boys have a penis and girls have a vulva.”

 

The Feminist Party and Vox unite against the Trans Law

The Feminist Party and Vox ally against the Trans Law that they brand as unconstitutional

GAYLES.TV.- The president of Feminist Party, Lidia Falcón, and the deputy of Vox in the Assembly of Madrid Alicia rubio, have joined this Tuesday against the Trans Equality Law, which qualify as «dangerous»And unconstitutional. Both have participated in an event organized by the organization Do you hear under the name of "Dismantling the Trans Law. If you are born a girl, you will still be»Where they have analyzed what this rule implies, its wording and its consequences. The only difference between the two organizations has been the education of minors and the responsibility of families over it.

In his speech, Falcón has highlighted the «catastrophic vision»That he deserves the possibility that society can adopt this philosophy that human beings do not exist, following the campaign guidelines that say that there are people who«they don't feel good in your body»And that, therefore, we must«mutilate it","modify it»Or«change it«. The president of the Feminist Party believe the text of Equality will lead the country to experience a «dystopia»For which a world is sought«without men and women»And based on a genre that«does not exist«.

Consider that Trans Law leaves Spain in a situation that considers «dangerous»And whose managers are«mindless"Que"have entered feminist competitions«. In his opinion, the country has the worst Minister of Equality, Irene Montero, who are "of history«.

«Trans dangerousness»

The feminist party and Vox unite against the Trans LawIn the same line of argument is the representative of Vox who has pointed out that the norm of Equality violates «Equality before the law»Of the Spanish, generates«judicial defenselessness","violates freedom of expression and opinion" Y "they charge the right of parents to educate their children in their values«, Among other measures. It is, he has indicated, an unconstitutional rule.

Blond considers that it is the «culminatedn "of the laws that in this matter have been approved at the regional level and that imply fines of between 40.000 and 120.000 euros for"lax crimes of homophobia or transphobia»And the conversion of a«psychological phenomenon" in a "biological reality that is recorded above«. In his view, gender dysphoria cannot be eliminated from the law because “it is a pathology that needs a series of medical resources«.

The only point where the differences between the Feminist Party y Vox has been in the Education. While those of Abascal They demand the freedom of parents to educate their children in their values, Falcón believe that this «it cannot be left to the chance of the families»But it is the State that has to take responsibility.

LGTBIQ+ families earn almost 20% less than the rest in Spain

A study by the FELGTB+ x-ray of the socioeconomic situation of LGTBIQ+ people in Spain

En Spain, LGTBIQ+ families They are, on average, poorer. They charge a year 20% less than the rest of Spanish families: 26.076 euros annually compared to 32.216 perceived by the general population. This is, 6.000 euros less rent annual average. The early abandonment of their home due to the expulsion of their family, wage discrimination due to their gender status, job instability to which many are forced due to their higher proportion of self-employed rate or the higher rate of homelessness are, according to the LGTBI+ State Federation, some of the factors that explain this situation.

According to LGTBI+ Socioeconomic State report, LGTBI+ State 2023 published this Wednesday by the Federation, almost two out of every ten people in the group (18,9%) earn less than 1.000 euros per month, and 35,8% earn between 1.000 and 2.000 euros per month. Or what is the same: only 30% earn between 2.000 and 4.000 euros per month. The situation worsens considerably among the trans people, which reflect greater vulnerability to poverty. Seven out of ten earn less than two thousand euros per month. There are also significant differences between gays and lesbians: if 58,7% of lesbian households earn less than 2.000 euros per month, only 38,8% of gay households receive a salary lower than that figure. That is, there is a difference of 20% between them.

Wage gap

LGTBIQ+ families earn almost 20% less than the rest in SpainHouseholds made up of gay men are the ones who suffer the least from this wage inequality, compared to trans people o asexuals, the most aggrieved. The big surprise is the very strong impact among the lesbian womens. ”We could expect a certain gap because gender always affects, but we have seen that it is a very vulnerable group” and with income levels “very polarized”, explains the sociologist and organizational secretary of the Federation, Ignacio Paredero.

The results also reflect a proportion of 13 points less in the rate of salaried employees —71,4% of the LGTBIQ+ population works as an employee—. And, consequently, they are more autonomous: about 23%; compared to 15% of the general population. Given this situation, the Federation has asked the Minister of Labor, Yolanda Díaz, to finish implementing the employment measures contemplated in the trans law and to call «urgently» the sectoral for «move forward with the development of its regulations«.

View the wage gap, it is evident that the risk of poverty and social exclusion also increases among the group. The study has been carried out by the company 40 dB in February through 800 interviews. There is greater difficulty paying the rent (44,8% of LGTBI+ people have had delays in the last year compared to 11,6% of the general population) and less ability to face unforeseen expenses (40,3% compared to to 35,5%). Furthermore, the percentage of people in the group who cannot afford a meal of meat, chicken or fish at least every two days doubles (14% compared to 5,5% of the general population).

homelessness LGTBIQ +

Regarding homelessness, 700.000 people LGTBIQ + have had to sleep on the street throughout their lives, that is, 2,3% of the group; 13,3% had to go live with friends or relatives temporarily; and 9,3% had to live in a «place not suitable as a home«. Once again, the situation worsens for the trans people: Only 50% have not had any homelessness problem.

Also for the lesbians, which is the second population with the most accommodation problems. 14,7% had to live with friends or family; 8,8% had to live in an unsuitable place; and 7,4% have had to sleep on the street. «This figure, in fact, is the highest among all identities and points to possible future lines of research on homelessness among lesbian women.«says the report.

One in five has not yet come out of the closet

The report also provides data on people who have made their sexual orientation public. 25% of the LGTBI+ population has not yet come out of the closet, and the average age of doing so is in 20 years. Only 26,8% have expressed it before, from 15 to 17 years old. Even so, the Federation points out that the people in the group come out of the closet earlier and earlier, which, they say, «shows the historical evolution of the conquest of rights and the evolution of society«.

Ellen DeGeneres reveals that she was sexually assaulted by her stepfather when she was a teenager«He told me that he noticed a lump on his other breast and that he needed to feel mine. Since I didn't know anything about bodies, I didn't know that my chest was different and ... in any case, he convinced me that I needed to touch it and then he tried again and again (...) He tried to break my door down. I kicked the window and ran out, because I knew that it was going to get worse ... And I didn't want to tell my mother, I wanted to protect her, because I knew that it was going to ruin her happiness"He explained Ellen DeGeneres.

The actress and comedian wanted to break her silence 46 years later in order to raise awareness and serve as an example for every young woman who might go through something similar:It's a really horrible story and the only reason I'm actually going to go into detail about it is because I want other girls to never let someone do that to them.«.

"I should never have protected her. I should have protected myself. I didn't tell him for a few years and then I told him (…) I really didn't let it affect me. Until recently, I said to myself: 'I wish they had taken better care of me. I wish she had believed me"Admits DeGeneres, whose full testimony will be released Friday on David Letterman's Netflix talk show.

LGTBIQ+ representation grows in television series

Streaming platforms have favored LGTBIQ+ representation in series, according to a GLAAD study

The annual studyWhere We Are on TV» of the group of activists GLAAD points out that the representation LGTBIQ + in television series it has multiplied thanks above all to streaming platforms.

Netflix, has once again outperformed its streaming competitors for inclusion LGTBIQ +. It occupies the first place again with 155 recurring or regularly seen characters. A figure that exceeds the sum of open channels ABC, CBS, CW, Fox and NBC including between all 141 characters LGTBIQ + this season, according to the study.

After the pandemic curtailed television production last year, the report from GLAAD expressed his satisfaction that the rebound did not leave behind the representations LGTBIQ +. The growth of streaming services, including Apple TV+, Disney+, HBO Max, Paramount+ and Peacock, opened the door to more inclusive content.

Streaming

There were 358 characters LGTBIQ + recurring and regularly watched series offered by eight streaming services in the study, an increase of 217 from last year's total across the three services examined (Amazon, Hulu and Netflix).

Foreign language dramas with queer stories helped Netflix to maintain its leadership in terms of representation LGTBIQ +, according to the report, including “young royals"Of Sweden, "Rebel"Of Mexico Y "Elite"Of Spain. Those add up to Netflix's inclusive comedies."Never Have I Ever","Q Force"And"fri Education".

The number of characters living with the HIV on all platforms it has decreased from three to two.

Open channels

Of the 775 series regulars on broadcast television channels in prime time, 92 (11,9%) were LGTBIQ +. Characters LGTBIQ + reached a total of 141, “a significant increase” compared to last year, when there were 101.

In an unprecedented result, lesbians represented the majority of the characters LGTBIQ + on open television, with new characters in series such as “NCIS: Hawaii"And"Law & Order: Organized Crime”. The studio received it as a “noteworthy change” regarding the criticized stereotype of television that often presents women queer as tragic figures.

Although the television channels presented programs with multiple characters LGTBIQ +, there is still no series with a cast mostly LGTBIQ +. In contrast, cable channels and streaming services have had several, such as "pose","Queer as Folk"And"Tales of the City".

LGTBIQ+ representation grows in television series

cable channels

Two years ago GLAAD said he asked all television platforms to commit to having at least half of the characters LGTBIQ + were people of color, and broadcast and cable networks met the challenge. “Unfortunately this year the cable receded”, reducing them from 52% to 45%.

With a total of 35 characters LGTBIQ + -including 16 in “The L Word: Generation Q” and in the new “yellowjackets"- showtime was the most inclusive cable channel for characters LGTBIQ + after finishing third last season.

The controversial case of Dave Chappelle

However, GLAAD did not hide his criticism of Netflix for handling the controversial comedy special of Dave Chappelle "The Closer” from 2021 that was criticized by people inside and outside the company for including what they considered to be transphobic humor. “It would be hypocritical to highlight Netflix's inclusive programming without making clear the damage Netflix did to the LGBTQ community late last year by stubbornly giving anti-LGBTQ content the reach and legitimacy of its platform and brand.”, points out the report that you can read in full here.

The PSOE once again blocks the Trans Law

The PSOE marks as a red line to support the trans law that minors under 16 years of age receive judicial authorization

The processing of the Trans Law is raising the level of tension between the two partners in the Coalition government. Bill PSOE has come out of the way of denouncing the Minister of Equality, Irene Montero, that the socialists do not want the agreement by keeping alive their amendments that limit gender self-determination, the fundamental axis of the law. The minister has expressed concern that these amendments could go ahead with the support of the PP.

The discrepancies with the PSOE remain after the socialists have transferred to Huntsman that they have no intention of removing the amendment requiring minors between the ages of 12 and 16 years a court guarantee to change sex. The socialists maintain that they do not give for “closed no negotiation process” regarding the law of Ministry of Equality although they insist that it is necessary to provide it with more “legal security» on the subject of minors.

"Legal security"

"It is an essential, fundamental issue to have that legal certainty", has remarked the number two of the PSOE, Maria Jesus Montero who claims the legitimacy of his party to present amendments as with any other legislative project. It puts the focus on the fact that minors form a collective “very sensible" who must be protected and specified that in the amendments to the PSOE "their right to registration in the registry is not denied” of young people between the ages of 14 and 16.

The law drafted by Equality It is very similar to one presented by the Socialists themselves a few years ago. Besides, the Andalusian trans law who led the PSOE at the time it contemplated many of the situations that socialists now reject in state law.

"Why have you forsaken us?"

A few weeks ago, Carla Antonelli, a reference in trans and militant activism of the PSOE, announced that he was withdrawing from the formation. This Monday, after learning about the party's position, she has once again been very critical. “Why have you abandoned us? What has been said, the human rights of trans people used as a smoke screen against other norms, the PSOE it is maintained in the new amendments that further reduce the dignity of a battered group. Pain and shame and others ", has denounced in a tweet.

En United We can it is feared that the socialists will choose to turn towards the PP at that stage of the parliamentary process. “The PSOE has presented amendments that reduce the rights of trans people. Now he tells us that he does not want to negotiate them and that he is going to leave them alive in the commission. That means the PSOE It intends to carry out this cut in LGTBI rights with the PP. plain”, he concluded Paul Echenique, his spokesman in the Congress.

Secret Weddings in Hollywood: Jodie Foster & Matt Bomer

The actress of 51 years and winner of two Oscars Jodie Foster He surprised us this weekend with an official statement where he shared with us his recent wedding with the photographer Alexandra Hedison, with which I had been leaving little more than a year. Sources close to the actress confirm that, although a year together is a short period of time, they are very in love and confident of this new step they have taken together.

Alexandra Hedison was former couple of the famous American talk show presenter Ellen DeGeneres, a great defender of rights and equality for homosexuals, who is currently married from 2008 with the Australian actress of Arrested Development, Portia de Rossi. Jodie Foster has two children, Charles and Kit, from a previous relationship with Cyntia Bernard, who obviously attended the wedding held this past weekend and of which no photos have been published or more details have been given.

So Jodie Foster breaks her silence and secrecy about his private life, already in 2013 he declined to make a speech of gratitude at the Golden Globes since he did not want to make a big speech of "coming out of the closet" and we are happy that more and more women and men pass by the vicarage.

Another that has surprised us (and this in capital letters) is Matt Bomer, who in a recent interview in the magazine Details commented that there at 2011 he married his boyfriend of all life, the publicist Simon Halls with whom he has 3 children Kit, Walker and Henry. This statement came up commenting on his recent role in the cinema where he plays the gay rights activist Larry Kramer, to which Matt Bomer recognizes the great effort and struggle carried out, and that without it they would not have many of the rights that we currently enjoy. For this role Matt Bomer has had to work very hard and lose weight and we are dying to see him on the big screen defending the achievements and struggles of Larry Kramer.

Tel Aviv, the dazzling PRIDE

The XXI edition of the PRIDE of Tel Aviv closes with spectacular figures

GAYLES.TV.- This could be a chronicle of the use of what has been the PRIDE from Tel Aviv, we could collect the figures, which certainly have overflowed any forecast (more than 250.000 people paraded in the PRIDE PARADE), to delve into the wounding of the boycott advocated by many leftist groups and European LGTBI organizations or to point to the indecent appropriation of PRIDE by others from the right. But no, we will not do that, because deep down no one knows what he is talking about, nobody has asked the people of the LGTBI collective of the Middle East how they live this PRIDE, nobody has spoken with the activists of the country to ask them what is the power celebrate this PRIDE, nobody has deepened in the situation of gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transsexuals in Israel and in the surrounding countries. And that is why we went there, to talk, to ask, to live, to feel this PRIDE where it is celebrated, in Tel Aviv.

And what we have lived, the answers we have obtained, the discovery of a reality as rich as complex is so broad that it is impossible to explain it in a single text. So today we will tell you here what this 2019 edition has been and very soon we will try in another article to explain the LGTBI situation in the Middle East, specifically in Israel, without filters.

And this issue of the struggle and recognition of LGBTI rights in Tel Aviv is nothing new and the figures show: 21 years have already celebrated the PRIDE with an agenda as diverse and rich as it can not be bounced that year after year attracts more and more visitors from all over the planet to a city that combines tradition and cosmopolitanism, integration, diversity and respect.

If something immediately leaps into view when arriving in Tel Aviv, it is the presence of LGTBI flags, thousands of them populate the avenues, hang from the balconies, we see them in shops, bars, restaurants, barber shops, markets, lanterns, trees, terraces, buses, bicycles, beaches and hotels. And they are everywhere making the multicolored city shine under a scorching sun, while at nightfall the colors of the rainbow are projected on many of the city's facades.

Pride Tel Aviv 2019 IsraelThe shotgun of exit was given by the actor Neil Patrick Harris, PRIDE official ambassador TEL AVIV who, together with her husband, inaugurated the PRIDE events at a press conference at the hotel NYX. Media from all countries witnessed a brief and emotional appearance in which he stated that "Tel Aviv Pride has become an important symbol of LGBTQ visibility and acceptance on the world stage".

Impossible to talk about all the parties here, the big parties like the RAVE for women outdoors or the super MEGA PRIDE without forgetting, of course the essential PAPA & Gym  of the national gay hero Eliad Cohen. But Tel Aviv is not just night and party, many traveled to the Shefayim Water Park to live the POOL PARTY on its water slides and dance in the wave pool. While the laziest roasted in the sun on the immense sandy beaches of its coastline, especially in the Hilton Bay Beach which has long been considered one of the most glamorous gay beaches in the Mediterranean.

Pride Tel Aviv 2019 IsraelImpossible to get in these lines smells of spices floating in the air, the breeze on the night terraces, breakfast in the gardens of the  LGBTQ CENTER (which for certain celebrates its 10º anniversary), the languid sunset on the beaches that cover the entire coastline or the hundreds of couples of gays and lesbians who walk hand in hand through the streets of a city that does not speak of tolerance, but of respect and integration.

Of course there have been exhibitions, thematic talks on various topics that affect the collective, debates and, of course, the spectacular PRIDE PARADE Last Friday he traveled the main streets of the heart of the city to end at the beach where the crowd could see the traditional parade of floats. A quarter of a million souls but above all of bodies marched under the jets of water that were launched from balconies to refresh the high temperatures. Flags of all countries, costumes, multicolored angel wings, crowded paraditas, concerts, music, dancing and joy.

Pride Tel Aviv 2019 IsraelBut there was also room for vindication: groups of people denounced with banners the conflict with the neighbor Palestine, the occupation and what has come to be called PINKWASHING or the use of PRIDE Tel Aviv as a form of image washing of the Israeli government in the face of the distrust of many North American and European liberals regarding their policies in relation to countries like Palestine. In the next article we will expand on this topic, but to speak with justice we must recognize that the rights of LGTBI people in the rest of the countries of the Middle East simply do not exist, they are not respected at all. In fact the PRIDE TEL AVIV is the best PRIDE of the Middle East among other things because it is the only one.

And we do not extend any more because, as we mentioned before, we hope to present you with a deeper analysis on the real situation of LGTBI rights in Israel.

Shalom from Tel Aviv !!

Daniel Arzola is serious: «I have come out alive from many struggles»

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW with the creator of «No Soy Tu Chiste»

GAYLES.TV.- «I do not do activism for activists or draw for cartoonists and I do not write poems for poets. I don't want jerked egos. Because I do not want to stay to live on only one side of the speech, in the comfort that I repeat that I say it is true. Because I don't want to walk on only one side of the sidewalk ». DANIEL ARZOLA (Venezuela, 1989)

What have you learned from the other side?
That maybe there are no absolutes, that nobody is completely something. I met macho women, racist blacks, and homophobic homosexuals. I learned that it is very easy to lose oneself in causes and end up being a victim transformed into an executioner. I wrote that text after intervening the MetroBus stops on Avenida 9 de Julio in Buenos Aires, a person attacked me for exhibiting with the sponsorship of a conservative government (From which I did not accept any other payment than to go to Buenos Aires to supervise my work). For me it was a victory, that is, that a conservative has to show my work and have to stand on our side because history forces him to, for me there is a victory in which someone who has had homophobic expressions in the past today wants to show what what I do, even if I am not sincere, because there is a message there, the story ends up putting things in their place. People who think differently from us should often be our target when it comes to communicating. And I believe in the power of communication. There are people who do not know how to argue, and who continue to repeat their speeches only on their side of the sidewalk. I am interested in sowing thoughts in minds that are opposed to mine, because hearing over and over again that I am right is very easy. I came to learn, I keep learning in the difference, because that's how I am.
 
DANIEL ARZOLA GAYLES.TV I'M NOT YOUR CHISTEWhy did you create the series «No Soy Tu Chiste»?
It was a rebellion against the great absence of justice in which I grew up. Venezuela is a very unfair place, where people laugh easily at your pain. I still have marks on the head of mockery, of the different. And there are thousands of people going through the same thing. But, my work has always been not to stay in that story, because it happened, I transformed everything into drawings and colors, into sentences, into poems and then I did Artivismo. My work started with a not so good story, that now had its first dose of justice, and it was a very big dose: Say what I feel and be heard. That others find a house in my history. To be able to shout in a universal language that is art, and to be heard. 
 
You are a poet, cartoonist and activist. Does one side predominate over the others?
I think I do the only thing I know how to do, and that's what I recommend people to do. Everything is born with wondering what do I know how to do? And I do what I know. For me, poetry, or drawing, or my political positions (which is not the same to be a politician as to be a partisan) are born from the same nucleus: the need to say something, to show something, from dramatic action. For many years I was absent from drawing, because only words helped me to get these ideas out of my being. I think the series "No Soy Tu Chiste" is a mixture of everything I knew at the time. Art, advertising, graphic design, poetry, activism, all of that is in No Soy Tu Chiste.
 
You suffered bullying and a painful exit from the closet. How has it affected you? 
I learned to fight when I was already fighting. When I tell some things that happened to me, many people can see this "victim" in those stories. I never felt like a victim, nor do I feel that way, I felt like I was a boy who had bad things happening to him, things that shouldn't happen. And I understand that one does not choose when to be the victim but we can choose when to stop being it. These processes left me with the conviction that I am a good adversary, since I have come out alive from many struggles. 
 
How it all started?
It started in my room, my bed was a mattress on the floor, the roof of my house in Venezuela is still made of zinc, the country is getting more and more denurated, and shots were sometimes heard outside. But my ideas did not have enough space, when you grow up in a country like Venezuela to dream hurts you, and I dreamed a lot, I still do. I had a lot to say, I still have a lot to say. First it was people saying on Facebook that they wanted my work in English, then it was teaching artivism to activists from Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia, the United States, Canada, Holland, Russia and India, then it was Madonna saying that she loved my work, then for the first time leave the country and get on a plane for the first time and see so many countries and be able to show my work there. And speaking bad English but communicating in Amsterdam and getting lost in New York… I think I still haven't processed everything, I'm working on it, but I try not to take anything for granted. I just try to learn and absorb everything I can to continue creating, I am very lucky, I have met unforgettable people. 
 
DANIEL ARZOLA GAYLES.TV I'M NOT YOUR CHISTEHow do you choose the sentences of your illustrations?
They are phrases that I used at some point to defend myself. Some were in my poems. In fact when I started with this series I first wrote a poem: "I ask for the floor." 
 
Do you think it is necessary to make sexual orientation visible? 
I think it is a mistake that many of us make in thinking that we are all the same. I have a point when I say that we are all different. It is not the same to leave the closet in Uganda as to do it in Canada. It is not the same as a Venezuelan actress to say that she is a lesbian (because no other woman had said it) that someone in Hollywood does. A kiss can be a gesture of affection or it can be a political act, everything depends on where you are. I think so, it's still necessary.
 
How has your sexual orientation influenced your work?
I only tell what I live, what I feel, through my work. When you are homosexual, Latino, aspie, immigrant and agnostic you will make someone annoy (how many labels), and I believe from conflicts that I was part of without wanting to be, that is, we do not always have problems with someone who has a problem with us . I create things from my story, and that's it. 
 
DANIEL ARZOLA GAYLES.TV HIVVA LA VIDAWhat do you consider to be more urgent when it comes to the LGBT + collective?
Let them stop you from killing or imprisoning you for it. Its the first.
 
Tell us about your other project "HIVva la vida, the H is for Human."
There are a billion HIV prevention campaigns. It is clear, nobody wants to have the virus. But every day more people become infected. I interviewed some 30 people and I asked them about that moment, in which they received the news, and I wanted to compare it with how they feel now. I thought: There are many prevention campaigns but I never saw a work dedicated to people living with the virus. 
 
What are your future projects?
I want to fulfill my dream of exposing in New York, I want to write a book about my theory of artivism, I have many ideas now that I have returned from a trip that included four cities in two weeks in the United States. The debt of publishing a book is something I really want to pay off. But above all I want to live!

An outraged Jorge Javier Vázquez claims LGTBI rights

Jorge Javier Vázquez: "A queer has to assert his rights"

Jorge Javier Vazquez has charged hard against Tamara Falco and all the people whitewashing hate speech. The criticism dates back to the controversial speech that the Marchioness of Griñon offered in the XIV World Congress of Families, a great event of ultra-Catholic and extreme right-wing lobbies held in Mexico. The HazteOír platform also attended the event as a Spanish representation.

Tamara openly criticized sexual diversity with these words: “We are now experiencing a very complicated moment for humanity, there are so many different types of sexualities, there are so many different places where you can do evil. I think that in other generations it was not so evident".

The host of "Save me” described the daughter of Isabel preysler"What you have done in Mexico has been to propagate and sow hatred". "What you cannot do is have a life with the collective Make yourself heard, with the extreme right-wing Catholic and with the ultra-conservative and with a party animal (...) The life of Tamara Falco is an absolute lie, and is being allowed to whitewash very dangerous elements in this society because it is Tamara Falco, but you listen to her and it's to put your hands in your head", He said Jorge Javier.

"I have suffered for being gay for people like you"

"What Tamara Falcó has done is a clear hate speech. Those are not love speeches, they are hate speeches and they must be denounced and rejected outright, because first they are the speeches and then the hosts come in the street”, assured the presenter of Save me.

Before the end of the program, he continued with his reprimand: “The world is becoming a worse place because of people just like you, who think like you and who demonize a sexuality that is not the one you have, which is heterosexual. Fortunately, people generally live their sexuality freely. I am 52 years old, I have suffered a lot for being gay and I have lived my first sexual experiences in the dark because there were people like you who did not accept this type of sexuality. Now we have to fight for people to be free, so that they can express themselves however they want and have fun in the places they want, but as long as there are people like you, who demonize freedom and the freedom to choose what they likes and dislikes, indeed, the world is going to be a worse place".

sow the hate

Far from staying here Jorge Javier He continued with his speech. “What I ask of you Tamara, is that you reconsider and stop doing the damage as you are doing. Because with your words you attack a lot of people, you attack the dignity of a lot of people and we cannot allow speeches like yours to have a place on television”, he added next. “Enough of accepting these types of words as normal, because they fall within the total abnormality. You are an absolute fraud. Reconsider, because in addition to being a lie, you are a very harmful and very harmful element for this society”, he commented afterwards.

At that moment, Jorge Javier He pretended to leave his answer there, but he took it up again to send a last message to the Marchioness of Griñón"At 52 years old, I am not going to allow people like you and organizations like Make yourself heard and all those with whom you are by their side to come here and send us back to darkness, sadness and depression. We will not allow it, Tamara. We will be against people like you and against the people around you".

Take sides

This Wednesday, Jorge Javier has gone a step further and has asked the friends of Falco let them take sides “I'm going to ask the queers of this country, lesbians, transsexuals and gender fluid people to wake up now. We are anesthetized and we have to take our conscience for a walk”, declared the presenter before citing two men who are very close to the Marchioness of Griñón. "I hope friends of Tamara as Boris Izaguirre and Juan Avellaneda mean and don't be silent”, he continued.

"Since this program has fried calls to Boris Izaguirre and Juan Avellaneda to give their opinion on this topic, and they don't have an opinion. No sir! You have to comment on this topic! Of course you have to comment!”, he said visibly indignant.

"A queer is not only chosen to accompany Tamara to choose fabrics for your restaurant, John Avellaneda”, added the presenter, in a clear allusion to the function that the stylist developed in the documentary series of Netflix who stars Tamara Falco. "A fagot has to assert his rights”, he finished.

All this happens the same week Vox will celebrate in Madrid Viva22, a recreational-political event with which the formation aims to celebrate the Hispanic heritage with activities for the little ones. In that event the rapper will perform SantaFlow, author of a song titled Madness is in me whose letter says the following: “I want to hit Jorge Javier's fagot". Joan Baldoví, spokesperson for Compromís in the Congress, has denounced it this Wednesday in the Parliament qualifying the act of akelarre. Today the presenter has taken legal action against the organizers of the event.

Is homophobia a disease?

Homophobic people are more likely to suffer from mental illness

Write Xavier Lizarraga in your article The Hispano-American Archives of Sexology: "Homophobia, like any other phobia, is the manifestation of an irrational fear, under which an emotional conflict lies; consequently, we cannot help but consider and handle it as a disorder, as a condition, as a pathological expression«.

For too long, homosexuality has been focused on as a problem, treating it as a disease. In fact, homosexuality was on the list of psychiatric illnesses of the WHO until 1May 7th 1990.

Emmanuele A. Janini, Professor of Endocrinology and Medical Sexology at the University of Rome Tor Vergata, ensures that «After discussing for centuries whether homosexuality could be considered a disease, for the first time we show that the real disease to be cured is homophobia«.

This claim is based on a study in which janini applied a well-known scale to measure the possible degrees of homophobia among 551 students Italian university students and crossed the results with measurements of other psychological traits. It found that those people who had stronger homophobic attitudes also scored higher in psychological traits such as psychoticism and immature defense mechanisms, while a secure parental bond was an indicator of low levels of homophobia.

Stupid people are more likely to be homophobic

Another study published in the journal market, By scientists from the University of Queensland, riding a Australia, homophobia would be linked to a low IQ. For the research, data from a survey carried out in 2012 by Household, Income and Labor Dynamics in Australian (Hilda) as well as the results of the same survey carried out in 2015.

In this, more than 11.500 Australians whether or not they agreed with equal rights for the community LGBTI. Respondents were also put to the test in three cognitive tests: one that is usually used in patients with dementia and that measures intelligence based on IQ, another that calculates brain damage from an injury or disease, and a memory test. Those who were against homosexuals showed impairments in their verbal language and other abilities. They also demonstrated a lower educational level.

It was then concluded that people with the least IQ were those who disagreed the most with equal rights for homosexuals and those who were most prejudiced against this community. "There are well-known correlations between low cognitive ability and support for disruptive or unequal attitudes "the research authors stated, adding that «Our results suggest that cognitive abilities play a critical, if underestimated, role in prejudice«.

Is homophobia a disease?

Pope Francis describes criticism of the blessing of homosexuals as “hypocrisy”: “No one is scandalized by a businessman who exploits people”

El pope francisco cross out «hypocrisy» criticizing the possibility of bless gay couples, while "Nobody is scandalized if I give my blessing to a businessman who perhaps exploits people and this is a very serious sin. "While people would be scandalized if I gave it to a homosexual... This is hypocrisy!", says Francisco. in an interview that will be published tomorrow in the Catholic magazine 'To believe'.

The pope adds that «the heart of the document is the reception«, in responding to criticism of 'Fiducia Supplians', the text published by the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith in which it was explained that couples considered ' could be blessedirregular' for the Church, including those of the same sex.

The historic opening of pope francisco to the blessing of couples of the same sex or in a situation «irregular» as divorced and remarried, has been welcomed by many episcopal conferences in the world, but the most conservative wing describes it as «Blasphemy» and other bishops, such as the African ones, continue to show their rejection.

The church and women

The Pope responds to those who criticize the blessing for same-sex couples: "It is hypocrisy"In another of the advance extracts of the interview, the pope highlights that «open work in the Curia at of important«. «In the Roman Curia there are now several women because they perform certain roles better than us men.«Assures Francisco.

Also regarding his state of health, he repeats one of the phrases that he has said in recent months to reassure about his state of health and his mobility problems: «The Church is governed with the head, not with the legs«.

In the interview he also asks for a Church closer to the people: «People suffer a lot... we clerics sometimes live comfortably... we need to see the work, the suffering of the people«.

Although the openness to blessing couples of the same sex seems like a step forward within the Church, it is worth remembering that it maintains discrimination against non-heterosexual people and, in reality, does not constitute any progress on the path towards equality in Catholic Church. It continues to be given to people LGTBIQ+ and women a second-class deal.
