GAYLES.TV.- We are happy to give the information that an eight-year-old trans * girl can compete with the rest of her classmates. The decision comes five months after the family requested the Catalan Swimming Federation su federation file in the category according to your identity. In this way, after making his case public and thanks to the struggle of Chrysallis and to the mediation of Department of Equaltat and LGBTI of the Generalitat de Catalunya, The Federation finally complies with the provisions of Article 14 of Law 11/2014 of Catalonia.

The president of Chrysallis Catalunya, Ana Valenzuela has celebrated this decision but insists that “It is not that exceptional measures are approved for specific cases such as this”, But respect the right of trans athletes throughout the national territory. For this, it is important that the government of Spain urgently approves a State Law against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity and expression.

That Law must contain the right to trans athletes * to participate freely in the category according to your felt identity and without providing any medical documentation. While that state law arrives “We will continue to demand from the autonomous governments with specific LGTBI laws, to approve regulations and regulations that guarantee the rights of transgender people”, Affirms the president of Sport and Diversity, David Guerrero. It is necessary to clearly remind the autonomous federations of their obligations with respect to the collective. In Autonomous Communities without specific LGTBI law, Chrysallis, Sports and Diversity and ADI remember that there is already a precedent in Castilla y León where the Administrative Court of Sports (under the Higher Sports Council) has ordered a federation to issue a federated file in category according to their sex, to a trans athlete.

The fascination for Daley

The athlete who got rid of the harassment coming out of the closet

GAYLES.TV.- Thomas Daley  or Tom as he prefers to be called, he just won the bronze in jump in 10 men's synchronized meter revalidating the medal achieved in London in the 2012 with only 14 years, the youngest medalist springboard jumper. It had already been gold in the European championships with 13 years and shortly after, to the 15, happened to be the youngest British world champion. A legend had been born.

Tom Daley jump

But beyond the titles and medals, Tom has worked himself as a true national star, the mirror in which you see a generation of young people in the UK. With just 22 years of life accumulate much experience, much effort, much pain and sacrifice. In 2011 his father, who had helped him out of a serious personal crisis, dies because of a brain tumor. But there was no room for tears because the London Olympics were just around the corner and Tom rose with gold against all odds.

But the road to get there had not been easy. Harassment has been a constant in his life in various areas. At school where in the words of Daley "They threw me things, they crushed me to the ground for no apparent reason. And to others it seemed funny. It was as if the whole world was against me and I began to doubt who I was and what I believed in. " And the Beijing Games came where, after qualifying eighth in synchronized, his partner Blake Aldridge, 12 years older, blamed him for his failure in qualifying. Tom was on the verge of breaking down, claiming that he would rather be dead than continue training, and threatened to jump out the window if left alone.

But he overcame the crisis with the help of the father who left the job and became his shadow. Then came a 6 weeks trip in the company of her best friend who toured Morocco, Spain, Switzerland, New Zealand, Thailand and Japan. Tom recorded everything on video and created a TV series. That would be the turning point. The definitive click was the exit of the closet in its own YouTube channel: "This spring my life changed completely when I met someone who makes me happy and makes me feel safe. And that person is a man ". And that man is nothing less than the Californian screenwriter Dustin Lance Black of 42 years, winner of an Oscar by the script of "My name is Harvy Milk", with whom he plans to marry after the Rio Games.

With his coming out of the closet Tom closed a crucial year in his life. It was the year that he got the British audiences in his pocket as an advisor in the famous springboard jump program "Splash!" and his followers on Instagram became legion, everything he touched turned to gold.

Thomas Daley

But nothing has been given away to this young man who submits to 11 gym sessions a week, 11 jumps and a ballet. Have breakfast every day 4 egg whites, oats and spinach, which eats chicken and vegetables and dinner vegetables and chicken or salmon. A boy who, despite his elaborate glamorous image, goes to bed every night at 10.

Whatever his own character, born of his strong character, his closeness and sensitivity, have made him an example for others. The message is clear: sport as a way of personal improvement, as a way out of the tunnel of harassment, pain and humiliation.

Bravo for Tom Daley!

The evolution of LGTBIQ+ rights during the reign of Elizabeth II

The death of Queen Elizabeth II at the age of 96 leaves the United Kingdom facing an uncertain future

La Queen isabel II died at 96 years at his residence Balmoral, ending a reign that lasted more than 70 years. The news was confirmed a few days after he met with the new prime minister Liz Truss and asked him to form a government: the fifteenth prime minister during his throne. Throughout her reign, life was radically transformed for people LGTBIQ + in the United Kingdom. When he ascended the throne in 1952 after the death of his father, King George VI, homosexuality was still illegal.

While the Queen Isabel generally avoided commenting publicly on the rights LGTBIQ +, she, as her office requires, has given royal assent (which is a formality in which the reigning monarch approves changes to the law) to many laws that have changed the trajectory of queer life in Britain.

What has changed during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II?

The evolution of LGTBIQ+ rights during the reign of Elizabeth IIOne of the first major pieces of legislation LGTBIQ + to which the Queen isabel II gave his royal approval was the Sex Offenses Act of 1967. That landmark law marked the first major crack in the UK's criminalization of same-sex sexual activity: decriminalized gay sex privately among men over 21 in England and Wales.

La Law of Sexual Offenses was far from being the maximum freedom that people LGTBIQ + they longed for at the time. Gay and bisexual men continued to be convicted for years of having sex in public, while the age of consent, which was five years higher than that of straight people, wreaked havoc on gay lives.

Significant milestones in the advancement of rights for people LGTBIQ +

The evolution of LGTBIQ+ rights during the reign of Elizabeth IIIn 1980 and 1982, respectively, homosexuality was partially decriminalized in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

The Human Rights Act, which received royal assent in 1998 meant that the European Convention on Human Rights enshrined in British law for the first time. This law has been used in several cases to defend the rights LGTBIQ + in the United Kingdom; for example, it has helped grant tenure rights to same-sex couples.

In 2002, the Adoption and Childhood Law, which allows same-sex couples to adopt children for the first time. Two years later, it legalized civil unions in England and Wales, and the first unions took place on December 5, 2005.

Another radical law that came into effect at about the same time was the Gender Recognition Law (GRA): Received royal approval the year before, on July 1, 2004, and put in place a process that allowed trans people to legally change their gender for the first time.

Same-sex marriage in 2014

The evolution of LGTBIQ+ rights during the reign of Elizabeth IIIn 2010, the Law of Equality, which prohibited discrimination against people on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity in a number of key areas. Two years later, the Liberties Protection Law meant that gay people could apply to have previous convictions expunged for "gross indecency«.

One of the great historical achievements for equality LGTBIQ + It was produced in 2014When same-sex marriage was legalized in England and Wales through marriage law (same-sex couples).

Stagnation

Since then, the rights LGTBIQ + have started to stagnate United Kingdom. Conversion therapy remains legal, despite promises by the current government to ban the practice, and reform of the Gender Recognition Law (GRA) has largely ground to a halt. the new prime minister Liz Truss will try to block the reforms of Scotland in terms of rights for people tranny and is known for her unfriendly statements with the collective.

Still, throughout Queen Elizabeth's nearly 70-year reign, rights LGTBIQ + have been radically transformed in the UK. Few monarchs have overseen as many social changes as Queen Elizabeth II made over her time on the throne, and it seems increasingly likely that no future monarch will ever see similar progress in a single reign.

The obituary that gave a lesson in naturalness

The applauded viral obituary that is considered a victory for the LGTBI collective

The reading of obituaries is one of the most deeply rooted hobbies in our country. Often, the brief text is used to launch some advice, hidden message and even puya. The case at hand is different. This obituary has gone viral due to its naturalness. Such an unusual naturalness, that it has even surprised the community LGTBIQ +.

Has been the Twitter user @javierfc, who has shared on his networks an obituary that he saw in a regional newspaper. “I have erased surnames and places, but it is a town of 7.000 inhabitants. If the family of an 80-year-old man in the rural world already publishes an obituary like this, it means that there is no turning back, that this is won, even if the cave barks”, pointed out Javier Figuereido next to a picture and a rainbow-colored flag.

As can be seen in the image, the name of an eighty-year-old man appears in the obituary, who is described as “husband of the lord Juan Luis”. Neither more nor less than a couple formed by two homosexual men who are shown in the obituary just as they were, something that should be very common but is not, and even less so in the rural world.

Thousands of people have applauded the message

The image has not taken long to go viral on the networks, accumulating thousands of « » and all kinds of comments from users, most congratulations assuring that something as simple as an obituary like this can be considered a victory for the LGTBI community.

The US Embassy supports the LGBTI community

US diplomacy works prominently in favor of the visibility, integration and rights of the LGBTI community around the world. Today we interview Kate M. Byrnes, counselor of culture, education and press of the US Embassy in Spain in a ceremony held together with the organizations Lesworking, Diversity Consulting and the LGBT Chamber of Commerce in Spain DiverSpain. The event took place at the American Space Madrid, official headquarters of the American Embassy.

Affective-sexual education

It is published in academia.edu "Affective-sexual education", a support manual for teachers

GAYLES.TV.- Today we want to talk about a fantastic initiative of academia.edu. This is the publication of a support manual for teachers of all educational stages, from kindergarten to secondary and high school through primary school, on how to address the issues of affective-sexual education in the classroom.

The text bears the title of "Affective-sexual education, a support manual for teachers" and its author is a doctor in Education and a degree in Psychology Melani Penna Tosso. Queer pedagogy specialist, LGBTphobias in the education system, sex education and feminisms. She has worked as a counselor in public centers in the community of Madrid and advises on the design of educational programs. He is currently a professor at various public and private universities in Spain and Latin America.

Affective-sexual education

It is presented with a very clear objective: to inform teachers about the normative foundations that justify the fight against sexism and homophobia. It does so from an integrative perspective and respect for diversity in all aspects related to different sexual orientations and gender identifications. And always within the framework of the affective and sexual binomial, understood as aspects that do not necessarily exclude each other, which is usually common when talking about sex education in the classroom.

But what makes this manual an essential work tool to advance in the field of standardization and the fight against discrimination and bullying in the classroom, is that it is not limited to theorizing about the phenomenon but that it provides practical tasks on how to work with students in each of the educational stages.

The text is therefore divided into four blocks: the normative foundation to which we referred based on international laws, a second block that analyzes affective-sexual diversity, its keys and fundamental concepts. The third introduces the issue of homophobia, emphasizing the way in which violence affects teachers, students and their families. And finally, a fourth block dedicated to practical examples of the system to work the set of contents in the classrooms.

The approach is attractive, dynamic and follows an established pattern for each chapter in order to be able to advance in the different aspects with the students. 

Finally, an extensive bibliography is added and the intention expressed by the author indicates that: “This book has been edited for distribution. The intention of the authors is that it be used as widely as possible, that they be purchased original to allow the edition of new ones and that, if reproducing parts, the title and authorship are recorded ”.

The text is available in PDF following the link of academia.edu but its acquisition is recommended to the centers to contribute with the benefits to counteract the campaign that aims to eliminate this type of classroom initiatives as we indicated a few days ago in the editorial "The shame pacts PP-C's-Vox ”.

Highly recommended not only for teachers, but also for mothers, fathers and anyone interested in pedagogy and LGBTIphobia.

That law is a real social shame.

«If you really want to defend children, you should not defend homosexual children, if there is such a thing, or trans children, you must defend all children. That law is not a law that tries to defend children. It is a law that gives a lot of privileges to some groups, invests a lot of public money for those groups and creates client networks in the same way that feminist clientele networks have been created. And that is one of the great embarrassments of the PP.»Argued in the Intereconomía program.

The fourth season of Sex education has two new trans characters

Sex Education has become one of the best examples of trans+ representation in the history of television

Since last Thursday September 21, the followers of fri Education They have the fourth and final season on the streaming service Netflix. One of the new features is the incorporation of Abbie y Kent, the first transsexual characters to appear in the series.

in this new season, Cal Bowman (Dua Saleh), the non-binary student, tells us the pros and cons of taking testosterone for six months. Facial hair, broader shoulders, fuller eyebrows: advantages. Indomitable libido, dry skin, excessive sweating: cons. The scene begins a season that will soon be considered one of the most outstanding examples of representation trans+ well done.

As we continue the journey of Callus like a person transmasculine non binary, viewers learn about her struggle with the wait list times and costs of gender-affirming surgery, the dysphoria associated with menstruation, and her attempt to navigate her relationship with her mother.

Multiple trans realities

"From the beginning we realized that, in reality, a non-binary trans character cannot contain everything", acknowledges the television scriptwriter Krishna Istha. "That's why they are Roman (Felix Mufti) and Abbi (Anthony Lexa), to portray the different versions of trans you could be".

Actors Lexa and Mufti were recruited through a open casting and participated in the construction of their stories. Consultants were also present, including the charity trans Gendered Intelligence, to ensure the stories were as authentic as possible.

The fourth season of Sex education has two new trans characters

Trans representation in fri Education is particularly revolutionary because it is not a show specifically for the LGBTQ+ viewer. The audience is much broader and in this way the cis audience is involved, who can better understand the lives of trans people.

Furthermore, the new characters are not stereotyped, but rather round. They are not exclusively defined by their gender identity. We are surely facing the first general fiction that portrays the trans fact in such a broad and nuanced way.

The European Commission proposes a "European certificate of parenthood"

The European Commission proposes that all EU countries recognize the parentage of children of LGTBI couples

La European Commission launched this Wednesday a proposal for a regulation to harmonize laws of the Member States regarding the filiation of children with their parents, which also provides for the creation of a "European certificate of parenthood” valid in the Twenty-seven. Although the initiative, if approved, would benefit any family that, for example, moves to another EU country, it is specifically designed to facilitate the legal recognition of children of LGTBI couples on European territory, in view of the fact that there are states like Poland or Hungary where rights of this group they are going backwards.

"All EU members have to recognize parentage established in another member state”, has summarized the Justice Commissioner Didier Reynders, in line with what the president stated a few months ago, ursula von der layen"If you are a parent in one country, you are a parent in all countries”. The President of the Commission has celebrated with "pride" this proposal. The objective is "help all families and children in cross-border situations"And"reinforce LGTBI rights".

reynders, has presented this apparently simple proposal, but with significant legal implications in matters of private international law, for example, in matters of inheritance, maintenance or custody rights. “From the moment a Member State establishes a link of parentage on the basis of its national law, all other Member States must recognize that link and allow, for example, parents enter their territory and reside with their children there”, he explained at a press conference in Brussels.

protect minors

The European Commission proposes a "European certificate of parenthood"The proposal benefits all children whose affiliation has been established in a Member State "regardless of how the child was conceived or born, regardless of the type of family of the minor and regardless of the nationality of the children and parents".

The rule would also apply to cases of surrogacy if they are allowed in EU countries or, as in Spain, filiation occurs at consulates: "If there is recognition through an embassy or in a third country, the rights of children in that member state must be respected".

It is about, underlines the European Commission, from "beef up” the protection of fundamental and other rights of children, including the right to an identity, not to be discriminated against and to a family life in another STATUS member other than the one where they were born or adopted, always taking into account as "first consideration" the best interest of the minor. It also seeks to providelegal certainty” when in a country it is requested to recognize the filiation of a child already established in another member of the UE.

"European certificate of parenthood"

A key element of the proposal is the creation of a “European certificate of parenthood” that children or their legal representatives may request in the country that established their filial relationship. This certificate, which will be Voluntary and will be available in all languages ​​of the UE, must be accepted in each Member State, as long as the proposal goes ahead, thus facilitating the transfer of families for work reasons —or any other type— within the European space. And that is a fundamental question, he pointed out reynders: currently, the obstacles that some families experience LGTBI in certain European countries are violating, among others, a key right in the region: that of move freely around Europe.

La Cicatriz, the art of making lesbians visible

La Cicatriz: «Lesbians are not represented in the art we consume»

GAYLES.TV.- Andrea Puig, Daria Nicolau, Clara Oliveras, Laia Nogueras and Àfrica Alonso are the five women that make up the feminist cultural production collective The scar. They call themselves that precisely because their role as a group is to heal the wounds of the past that "homophobia and machismo have left in our society and in ourselves."
La Cicatriz is an emerging collective, focused on cultural and artistic production. It is made up of four young women, professionals in the performing arts, production and music. It is a multidisciplinary collective that was born from the desire to produce artistic projects within a context of feminism and collaboration.
The fundamental challenges of La Cicatriz are to make young women visible within the world of culture as active, necessary and fundamental. "Multidisciplinarity allows us to propose a diverse, contrasted content and avoid vertical hierarchical relationships within the creation and work processes."
His first work, «A shy llum«, Tells the story based on real events of Isabel and Carmen, two women who fell in love during the Franco regime and who, therefore, unfortunately, must survive situations of violence, fear and rejection.

The letter of the gay terrorist

Taib, the assailant of a police station in Mossos killed by an agent, left an SMS and a letter before attempting

GAYLES.- The facts about the assault last Monday at a police station in the Mossos d'Esquadra in the Barcelona town of Cornellá, are well known. Abdelhouahab Taib, an Algerian of 29 years, appeared shortly before the 6 of the morning in a police station of Mossos and insisted by the telefonillo so that they opened the door to him because "he wanted to make a consultation". Once inside and to the cry of "Allah is great" He pounced on an agent trying to attack her with a knife of large dimensions. After the first failed attempt he pursued her through the police premises with the clear intention of stabbing her with the knife. As can be seen in the recordings of the police station, the mossa ended up shooting him after firing four times, three of which impacted on the body of the aggressor ending his life.

But things start to get complicated when in the search of his home and subsequent interrogation, the assailant's wife declares that in fact it is a forced suicide and that they were in the process of divorce because her husband was homosexual and feared to be disowned by his environment , that is, by the Muslim community. That is, it is that of "I do not kill myself, they kill me".

Subsequently, the police and the media have had access to an SMS that Taib sent to his wife on the eve of the assault: "I'm going, inshallá (God willing), to the great place that is up" which, clearly, denotes the intention to end his life. And not only that, it has also been known that hours before heading to the police station in Mossos, Taib locked himself for hours in a mosque to pray. To finish confirming the thesis of his wife, is what some consider a suicide note but rather it would be a prayer written by Taib that has been disseminated by the SER chain. According to the translation in it he writes: «Oh God, I ask for the mercy of your wisdom and power and I beg of your great generosity since you are the most powerful and I the least, since you are the wise and I the least and you know beyond. Oh God, if you know that in this matter there is (…) good for me for my religion and my subsistence and everything related to me and what you have predestined for me, facilitate it and bless it for me. Oh God if you know that this matter (…) goes against my religion and my livelihood away from me and make my destiny good and make me accept it ». This matter, according to all the research points, would make reference to his homosexuality and consequently Taib, to whom the divorce had precipitated in an important personal crisis, would be looking for a kind of redemption through religion.

Taib note

If it is a terrorist attack or a masked suicide is something that we may never know. At the end of the day, a fine line separates both factors in any attack and also, to this day Islamic State he has not vindicated the action.

What one might ask is why Taib prefers to lose his life to be disowned by his community because of his gay status? It is our collective responsibility to know what is being done to work for the right of those who seek refuge in our societies to be who they are. Or rather, what are we not doing? What is taught in schools? What is preached in mosques? What about the integration of LGTBI people from different faiths?. We calm our consciences affirming that "you know, they are fanatics. Well, we are doing poorly.

We are in Barcelona, ​​Spain, one of the first countries to recognize homosexual marriage and runs the 21st century. Taib lived here and his surroundings also live here. If, attempting or not, Taib has taken his life for fear of living openly showing his homosexuality, we have a serious problem. And that is what we would have to reflect on as a collective and as a society.

The homophobic grandeur

The last Sunday May 25 the elections to the european parliament. Four hundred million citizens with the right to vote were called to the polls and results in some of the countries participating in the elections They make your hair stand on end. In France la extreme right of the National Front won the elections obtaining the 25% of the votes cast followed closely by the UMP (traditional right) with the 20% of the votes.

These figures can not be separated of other more or more chilling, those recently presented by SOS Homophobie that speak of a increase of 78% of homophobic acts in the 2013 with respect to the 2012. An assault every two days, 3.517 homophobic actions denounced and the observation that injurious or defamatory statements and calls to violence against homosexuals on the internet, They have multiplied by three.

The fact that these figures are produced in a year marked in France by the debate about the approval of same-sex marriage, should not prevent us from reflecting on the importance of our vote in supporting, in each country, the organizations and parties that defend our rights. Hiding your head in the sand will not make the enemy disappear. We have a weapon called urn and thousands of bullets in the form of ballot papers. Let's make an intelligent use of all this.
