13 Arrested in Alicante for a brutal homophobic assault on a young man whose nasal septum and femur were broken

Nine minors and four adults have been arrested for Agents of the National Police for an alleged brutal Homophobic aggression a young man whose nasal septum, cheekbone and femur were broken, as reported by Headquarters in a statement. Those arrested are charged with hate crimes, serious injuries and robbery with violence and intimidation of a man of 43 years which was in an area of ​​pine trees in the Alicante Tossal Park with two other friends.

The three men were cornered by at least 15 people that they berated and insulted them by shouting "fagots, sons of bitches, get out of here, we're going to kill you." Two of the accused were able to flee and escape from the place, but the third did not succeed. He was hit by the attackers, who knocked him down and, once on the ground, brutally attacked him with kicks and punches to the face and the rest of his body, even using a wooden stick.

They produced a fracture of the nasal septum, cheekbone and femur, and had to undergo emergency surgery up to two times, currently pending a third surgery. In addition, when he was on the ground, the attackers tried to steal his cell phone and his belongings, although they were ultimately unsuccessful due to the victim's resistance.

"Tremendously complex" investigation

After his complaint in February of this year, the investigation has been carried out by agents of the Group II of the Woman Family Unit of the Provincial Brigade of the Judicial Police of Alicante and it has been tremendously complex since the injured party did not know the aggressors at all and given how brutal and senseless it was, he could hardly provide any data on the attackers. Without witnesses or other clues, the investigators had only a video recorded by one of the surveillance cameras of the place where part of the persecution reported by the victim was fleetingly seen.

As a result of the work of the police, the first indications were collected, which once properly evaluated, managed to find one of the aggressors and then identify all the members of the group who participated in the brutal homophobic aggression. The detainees to date, aged between 14 and 19 years old and of Spanish and Colombian nationalities, were placed at the disposal of the Court of Instruction of the Guard of Alicante and the Juvenile Prosecutor's Office of Alicante, the adult being admitted to prison and two of the minors admitted in turn to a Juvenile Center In a closed regime, another of the detained minors was already in a reform center.

The investigation is not terminated: the agents of the UFAM Efforts continue to locate and detain at least three other adults who are fully identified in the coming days.

Equality agrees to merge trans and LGTBI laws if self-determination is recognized

Posted on by Gayles.tv

The Felgtb, Chrysallis and the Triángulo Foundation warn that the rise of the extreme right threatens their rights

Some entities LGTBI have launched a proposal that seeks to achieve consensus between the vice president Carmen Calvo and the minister Irene Montero to unravel the law on the rights of trans people. The FELGT, Chrysallis and Triangle Foundation have raised the merger between the trans law and LGTBI, as long as future legislation enshrines self-determination of gender without guardianship or requirements. In this way they aim to achieve a «a consensus proposal»And that both poles yield.

The organizations have called "for a meeting" and "for a consensus" between "the demands" of both government partners, who have starred in a tough confrontation regarding the Trans Law since the drafts began to be discussed last January. Even then the socialists distanced themselves from the text of Equality, which contemplates eliminating the current medical requirements for the legal sex change of trans people and basing it on the free expression of the will. The proposal of PSOE is that they provide «documentation»And some«a" to the Civil Registry than "credit»Their transsexuality, for example, the testimony of a person from the environment.

Immediate response from the Minister of Equality

Almost at the same time that the associations spread their claim, Huntsman has published a tweet in which «appreciates the proposal of the LGTBI groups»But warns that«trans law will be law, recognizing the right to self-determination of gender«. «For us it can be today«, Has written the minister. Sources of Equality have clarified that it is accepted that there is a single text, although, drawn up by the department of Huntsman and not by vice presidency or the PSOE, and that its articles include free self-determination, which according to this ministerial department «it is the most respectful way of guaranteeing rights and reflects the highest human rights standards, as indicated by the European Commission«.

The trans law is a historical claim of the collective

Both standards are contemplated separately in the agreement for the formation of Government signed by United We can and PSOE. That there is a Trans law Specific has been one of the historical claims of a good part of the trans groups. In fact, there are organizations like the Trans Platform, who have disagreed with the proposal of the FELGTB, Chrysallis and Fundación Triángulo and they have ensured that merging both standards is «violence towards trans people»And a form of«make their discrimination invisible«. Activists and families of trans children from this group were the ones who started a hunger strike in mid-March to demand the unblocking of the law, to which six parties responded by registering it in the Congress.

FELGTB, Chrysallis and Fundación Triángulo They think, however, that with this proposal to the Government partners «can you unlock the situation" why "In these moments of ascent of the ultra-right discourse, it cannot be understood that the equality of trans people is not protected by law", has explained Uge Sangil, President of the FELGTB. They consider that their proposal is «an assignment by both parties"Que"there are no reasons not to accept«:«We are calling for them to find and get out of this pitfall with the sole objective of recognizing, legislating and protecting trans people", has added Ana Valenzuela, president of Chrysallis.

Lesbian Visibility: We are not so good

Posted on by Gayles.tv

26 April: International Lesbian Visibility Day

To mark the International Lesbian Visibility Day We review the current situation of lesbian women and although things are improving, we are not so well. Last week, the woman who in July of 2019 he molested two lesbians in the Barcelona metro. The accused will not serve her sentence if she pays a fine, compensates the victims and follows a course on human rights, but the sentence is still historical. The unfortunate thing is that similar events happen too often in too many places. Let's remember the case of Charlie graham, a young woman from the United Kingdom who at the age of 20 has been attacked 5 times for being a lesbian.

La State Federation of Lesbians, Gays, Trans and Bisexuals (FELGTB) has carried out a survey which shows that one in 10 lesbian women has left their job due to problems derived from their sexual orientation. This research, which, although not representative (139 women were asked), does reveal indicative data on the situation of lesbian women in the workplace. The survey also reflects that this part of the group continues to fear being visible at work and the main reasons include jokes (70%), fear of isolation (56%) and fear of reprisals (46%).

Lesbian women suffer violence in all areas

La Coordinator of Lesbian Policies of FELGTB, Cristina Pérez He recalled that lesbian women suffer daily discrimination in all areas of their life, not only at work: “Many young women still cannot be who they are at home, with their families; others suffer harassment and attacks of all kinds in their schools".

Pérez he also warned that “Furthermore, we continue to be victims of hate crimes and alleged reconversion therapies since they are not yet prohibited in Spain”. Thus, he added that "We are constantly exposed to multiple discrimination as a consequence of machismo and lesbophobia, in addition to other vulnerabilities such as having a disability or due to ethnicity, age or gender identity, among others. There is no one way to be a woman and we are all traversed by several intersectionalities".

Female partners still do not have guaranteed access to the assisted reproduction throughout Spain and they suffer discrimination because they cannot affiliate the creatures on equal terms with the rest of the couples. If they are not married, the non-pregnant woman is forced to adopt her own child. Or outside of Spain it may be that families LGTB + their rights are not recognized with all the legal problems that entails.

So this April 26 we will celebrate the achievements, but we will persist in the fight because the day needs to come soon when we can love freely.

Kisses between women for the day of Lesbian Visibility

GAYLES.TV.- For a long time the lesbian invisibility it has served as a form of protection. The presence of lesbian scenes in movies and in television series it has helped give visibility to lesbian women, and although there are more and more references, it is not enough. Lack of references in other public settings it makes it harder for lesbian women to "come out of the closet." And also because the lesbianism represents a direct attack on patriarchal power, so, in a world that is still macho, there is a prevention not to be exposed.

So for this day of the Lesbian Visibility, which has been held since 2008, we leave you a selection of movie images with the song Halo de Beyoncé covered by the lesbian singer LP, to help you get through these times of pandemic better.

LGTB + groups call demonstrations throughout Spain to demand the Trans Law

Posted on by Gayles.tv

Jose Maria Nunez: «We ask the country to take to the streets again, as it did with equal marriage«

GAYLES.TV.- While the call Trans Law remains paralyzed within the Government coalition due to internal discrepancies, the collectives LGTB + They have announced demonstrations in the streets of all Spain to demand its final implementation, claim their rights and raise awareness among citizens that it is urgent to end the structural discrimination they suffer. The initiative is motivated by the continuous blockages of the PSOE, first to the draft of the Ministry of Equality and recently when presenting at the Congress by ERC, the CUP, More Country and Commitments.

La State Federation of Lesbians, Gays, Trans and Bisexuals (Felgtb), the Triangle Foundation and Chrysallis (Association of Families of Trans Minors) They have presented a campaign with which they will travel all over the country demonstrating with the slogan «We demand trans equality«. According to the president of the Felgtb, Uge Sangil, aim to «convince sectors of the PSOE that continue to have doubts and reluctance about the importance of the rights of trans people«.

«Faced with the blockade, we have no other options than to mobilize in the street. We ask the country to take to the streets again, as it did with equal marriage, to tell our Government that we believe and want equality«, Has asserted the president of the Triangle Foundation, José María Núñez, which has asked the collective LGTB + and feminists who join the cause.

These mobilizations began last Tuesday, April 6 on the island of La Palma -where he President of the Cabildo signed the trans flag as an act of support for these demands - and they will vary depending on the different territories: there will be concentrations and institutional events. The campaign will conclude in Madrid the week of Pride.

Gender self-determination

LGTB + groups call demonstrations throughout Spain to demand the Trans LawFrom Chrysallis, Ana Valenzuela has stressed that free gender self-determination - also for minors - is a "red line" for these groups and has regretted that the rights of trans people are addressed from "ignorance, fear and prejudice»Because it legitimizes hate speech and transphobia.

sangil has recognized that self-determination is the «main stumbling block»In the negotiation of the Trans Law and that the socialists allege that the law will go ahead but with legal certainty. Faced with this argument Valenzuela has stated that gender self-determination is a question «more of political will than of legal certainty«.

The groups reject that a third person has to prove the identity of a trans person for the change of sex and name in the registry, as according to some leaks proposed by the PSOE because it represents a protection and «putting trans people on suspicion of fraud«.

Entities mobilize in Catalonia

The entities of the Xarxa LGBTI of Catalonia reject the proposals of the first vice presidency of the Government and they demand that it guarantee legal and social equality for trans people. They argue that «put trans people at risk and align themselves with the discourses historically used by the far right«. The proposals of PSOE leaked on April 3 violate the right to gender self-determination as recognized by numerous official bodies such as the Council of Europe or European Court of Human Rights.

For this reason, Chrysallis, supported by Xarxa LGBTI of Catalonia, has issued a press release in which it requires the PSOE to rectify its positioning by aligning itself with what the European Commission and what he proposed to Congress of Deputies in 2017 and that it does not use proposals based on the worst European laws, causing a setback of the current legal framework. Also, remember that «in the Spanish state, 14 communities they already recognize the right to gender identity and depathologize transsexualismd »and that since October 2018 it is already possible to change the name of trans people.

I also know of at least four other actors who keep their sexuality totally hidden. And I find it very painful«, Has pointed.

Discrimination and homophobia

«Hollywood he has to give up the nonsense of wondering if a homosexual actor or actress can play a heterosexual character. It should even be illegal to have this type of doubt worthy of another era. You can't get an idea of ​​how widespread this belief is in the industry«. winslet has harshly criticized certain attitudes that are present today in the film industry. «There is an environment of discrimination and homophobia. We need a movement similar to MeToo«, Has commented.

«It is also very important that we have a conversation about heterosexual actors playing homosexual characters. For example, we could talk about how I feel about giving life to a lesbian woman in «Ammonite » and the possibility that by accepting it he has taken away the character of a homosexual actress", has added.

The actress has admitted that she is tired of hiding her true opinion: «I'm tired of not being honest about my true opinions. I know this role was never offered to anyone else. So for me this movie was an opportunity to bring a history LGTBIQ to more places«. «But change will only really come when people start talking like me«, Has pointed winslet, encouraging more people to support the complaint movement it has undertaken.

«My intention is not to intimidate or confront Hollywood. We are only talking about young actors who might be considering joining this profession and how we can find a way for them to do so without encountering prejudice, discrimination and homophobia.", it is finished.

The right of minors to an equal education

Posted on by Gayles.tv

FELGTB, Triángulo and Chrysallis demand that Education defend the right of minors to equal education

GAYLES.TV.- La State Federation of Lesbians, Gays, Trans and Bisexuals (FELGTB), Triangle Foundation y Chrysallis, Association of Families of Trans Minors met last Wednesday with the Minister of Education, Mª Isabel Celaá, to demand that it urgently defend the right of children to equal education and knowledge in affective-sexual, family and gender diversity. In addition, they asked for urgent solutions to the intention of the extreme right to implement the parental veto in several autonomous communities.

The person in charge of the portfolio Education recently expressed its willingness to defend the best interests of the minor "above any parental vetoBut the entities demanded concrete actions to stop this threat from the extreme right to the right to education for children and requested the intervention of the state government within the framework of its powers.

"Children's rights cannot continue to be used as a bargaining chip"

In this sense, the president of FELGTB, Uge Sangil, stressed that “children's rights cannot continue to be used as a bargaining chip for political interests"And claimed"the urgent approval of comprehensive state legislation trans and LGTBI that protects the childhood LGTBI of violence they suffer daily and guarantee the right of all students to an education in values: social justice, equal opportunities and diversity".

Furthermore, he insisted that “it is essential to have the expert knowledge of the entities LGTBI to ensure proper training of teachers, families and students with the aim of combating bullying by LGBTophobia and establish specific protocols”. And it is that, the LGBTophobia is still the number one cause of bullying in classrooms and according to research by FELGTB, almost 60% of childhood and youth tranny has suffered Transphobia in the school environment.

The education system has an obligation to protect children

The right of minors to an equal educationFELGTB, Triangle and Chrysallis They recalled that the parental veto violates several current state laws such as the Law for the Protection of Children and Adolescents; The Sexual health law and reproductive and voluntary termination of pregnancy; The Law for the promotion of education and the culture of Peace y Organic Law for the Improvement of Education (LOMLOE), among others and contradicts the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child ratified by Spain. Likewise, it goes against the best interest of the minor, present in the legal system of the state.

As denounced by the vice president of Triángulo Foundation, Raúl González, "The educational system has the obligation by law to protect children against any type of violence, whether it comes from the school environment or from the family itself, and to offer all students, regardless of the opinion of their families, training in diversity , respect and inclusion".

Education in affective-sexual diversity

However, at present, education in affective-sexual, family and gender diversity is not widely taught. As it explains González, "in the absence of a trans law and LGTBI state that unifies criteria, the right of children to receive education in diversity and values ​​depends, first of all, on the existence of trans law and / or LGTBI autonomy and, if any, of the regional political interests of the moment, as it is being seen, of public funds and of whether or not there are administrative mechanisms to analyze the implementation of each law, among other specificities«.

In addition, as recalled by the president of Chrysallis, Ana Valenzuela, "there are still four Autonomous Communities in Spain without regional legislation that guarantees the rights of childhood and youth LGTBI and protect them from violence: Castilla-La Mancha, Castilla y León, La Rioja, Principality of Asturias, in addition to the autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla ».

state legislation

Thus, as he argued Valenzuela, "It is essential that there is state legislation that guarantees comprehensive and inclusive affective-sexual education in formal, non-formal and informal education”. "Lhe education in equality is not a privilege of families that agree that their minors are trained in equality and human rights, but an obligatory responsibility of the public powers towards the students"He assured.

The three entities indicated that this censorship affects not only the collective LGTBI but also the feminist movement, the educational community and other agents of society.

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.

"This reluctance is evident through a series of decisions made by the leadership of London Pride. These decisions are detrimental to all of our communities, but particularly to black people. LGBT +»Claimed the 26-year-old. The former director of communication and the highest ranking member of color within the organization recalled his experiences in the first person: «I have also personally witnessed leaders' insistence on ignoring black voices in our communities and among our own volunteers when they speak and speak.

Recently, the organization was criticized for not banning the Metropolitan Police participate in their parade.

It's no secret that there are problems within London Pride as far as race is concerned. This is not new«.

A spokesperson for the Pride issued an apology in which he accepted “that we need to be in a place where we are focusing the marginalized voices of our communities in everything we do, and we are in the process of organizing listening sessions and creating safe spaces and peer groups for these misrepresented voicess. We look forward to creating a more inclusive culture and helping to give Black volunteers and volunteers of color the support they deserve.«.

A court declares unconstitutional to ban equal marriage in Japan

Posted on by Gayles.tv

Japan is the only G7 country that does not recognize same-sex marriage

GAYLES.TV.- A Japanese court ruled last Wednesday that failure to recognize the right to same-sex marriage violates the Constitution from the country. The sentence, handed down by the Sapporo District Court, is the first in a series of lawsuits for damages brought by same-sex couples across Japan.

And it is that the Japanese country is the only one G7 that does not recognize equal marriage. Taiwán is the only region of Asia recognizing same-sex marriage. This historic ruling is the first in the framework of a series of lawsuits against the STATUS Japanese that a dozen homosexual couples undertook in 2019 so that their unions are legally recognized.

The court of the northern island of Hokkaido, when resolving a lawsuit filed by three same-sex couples, rejected their request for one million yen (about 7.700 euros) each for the psychological damage caused by what they described as the negligence of the Government by not modifying the law to allow them to marry.

Historical judgment

Couples of Hokkaido They had tried to register as married couples with local authorities in January 2019, however, they were denied this right on the grounds that same-sex marriage has no legal status. However, in Japan little progress has been made on marriage equality, as many point to the article 24 of the Constitution of the country, which reads «the marriage will be based solely on the mutual consent of both sexes and will be maintained through mutual cooperation with the equal rights of husband and wife as the basis«.

The sentence does not change the law, but reopens the debate and charges the supporters of its legalization with arguments. According to Sapporo District Court, in the north of the country, the rejection of marriage between persons of the same sex constitutes “discriminatory treatment without a rational basis"Contrary to article 14 of the Japanese Constitution, which stipulates that"all citizens are equal before the law".

«It is not lawful to impart a blessing to relationships, or even stable couples, that imply a sexual practice outside of marriage (that is, outside the indissoluble union of a man and a woman open, by itself, to the transmission of life) , as is the case of unions between people of the same sex«, Reads the text.

"It is answered negatively”, They assure in a two-page document published in seven languages.

The answer is because in «some ecclesiastical environments are disseminating projects and proposals of blessings for unions of people of the same sex" and that "These projects are motivated by a sincere desire to welcome and support homosexual people, to whom paths of growth in faith are proposed.»But which cannot be converted into blessings, is indicated in the note.

An HIV vaccine made in Barcelona allows better control of the virus without antiretrovirals

GAYLES.TV.- A therapeutic vaccine against HIV developed in Barcelona improves the control of the virus in infected people when they stop taking antiretrovirals. The prototype has been designed by IrsiCaixa, Lluita Fund against AIDS y Aelix Therapeutics, a biotech company.

This is a first study, with 45 attendees HIV positive, which has been carried out in the Germans Trias i Pujol Hospital de Badalona. Some were given placebo and others the therapeutic vaccine, intended for people when they have already been infected.

Historical advance

All had antiretroviral treatment stopped. And all of them had the virus re-emerged, but one 40% of those vaccinated could go 6 months without this treatment. Instead, only a 8% of those who have received placebo get it. None of these participants had genetic factors that predispose them to spontaneously control the HIV.

Christian brander, scientific director of AELIX Therapeutics and co-author of the vaccine highlights that «until today no strategy in the cure of HIV has managed to keep the virus under control for so long and in so many people«.

These encouraging results indicate scientists are on the right track. «When the virus begins to break out, the immune response that follows is much more effective in vaccinated patients than in unvaccinated ones. So, it is a first sign that the design of the vaccine is optimal and that if we manage to improve this response, make it bigger, we could still really achieve a functional cure, which is the goal.«, Comments Beatriz Mothe, researcher doctor of the IrsiCaixa and co-author of the vaccine.
