The LGTBI cinema of the 2019

The best proposals in LGTBI cinema that will reach our screens throughout the 2019

GAYLES.TV.- 2018 has set the bar very high in relation to LGTBI-themed cinema: films such as "Call me by your name" or the Oscar-winning Chilean film "A fantastic woman" they are just the tip of the iceberg of LGTBI's abundant film production.

But the 2019 does not shrink and promises to give many satisfactions both in quality and in the variety of proposals that strive from the screens to contribute to the fight against inequalities and stereotypes.

We tried to pick up some of the main films here without knowing if they would reach the big distributors, let's hope so. In any case serve as a guide to situate ourselves in the news that are arriving.

"The Favorite" directed by Yorgos Lanthimos and set in the early XNUMXth century in the period of Anne of Great Britain, the last British sovereign of the House of Stuarts. Starring Olivia Colman, Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone, is about the love triangle that is established between a weak queen, her close friend and a new servant. Exalted by the critics, it points as one of the most outstanding premieres of the year.

One of the most original novelties comes to us in an animated film format. After the success of the series "Yuri! on ice " the filmmaker's awaited film arrives Sayo Yamamoto "Yuri! On ice: ice adolescence ". The film tells the story of Yuri Katsuki, a professional skater who after failing in the Grand Prix decides to retire. Until he receives the proposal of his idol, Victor Nikiforov to become his coach.

Elisa y Marcela

"Girl" maybe it is one of the most anticipated releases and about which more is being talked about. This same week on Gayles.tv we published the article "'Girl', the film of a trans dancer charged with controversy" that you can recover here. Directed by Lukas Dhont who also wrote the script next to Angelo Tijssens, the film tells the story of Lara, a young transgender woman who dreams of becoming a dancer.

"Sauvage" It is one of the most radical films that we will be able to see this year, at least in relation to the realism of its sexual scenes. Magazine "Variety" has rated the director's debut, Camille Vidal-Naquetas "Direct, impressive and wild. A powerful portrait about a gay sex worker ". Felix Maritaud plays Leo, the young protagonist of 22 who prostitutes herself in the streets of Paris while waiting to find the love of her life.

Under the baton of Isabel Coixet the story of "Elisa and Marcela", a Spanish film set in 1885 that tells us about the relationship between two teachers at the end of the 8th century. Based on real events. Coixet tells us the story of Marcela Gracia Ibeas and Elisa Sánchez Loriga who were married in the Church on June 1901, XNUMX. It was the first marriage between people of the same sex in Spain, and the only one officiated by the Church. To achieve this, Elisa had to pass herself off as a man, by the name of Mario Sánchez, to deceive the priest of Dumbría (A Coruña).

An original proposal is that of the film "Can you ever forgive me?" directed by another woman, Marielle Heller, and starring Melissa McCarthy who plays lesbian biographer Lee Israel, who tries to resurrect her writing career by forging letters from deceased authors and playwrights.

And we end with a prison drama: "Prince" of the Argentine director Sebastián Muñoz. Set in the decade of the 70 part of a crime that takes the protagonist to prison where he will get in touch with a famous gangster through which he will discover the inalienable need of the human being to love and be loved.

The controversy about whether a genre or a theme should be considered referring to a cinema that deals with issues that affect homosexual or transsexual people basically reminds us of the theme of the environment bars. Hopefully one day we should not take into account this kind of classification, space, scope, that day we will have overcome all types of discriminatory barriers, but today seems to remain a utopia.

Vox proposes to repeal the Law that guarantees the rights of LGTBI people

The proposals of Vox for the investiture of the president of the Junta de Andalucía

GAYLES.TV.- Without fear and without asking permission. With that bravado and Hispanic pride the formation ultra-right Vox launches a list with 19 «Proposals from Vox for the investiture of the president of the Junta de Andalucía«. As if it were the letter to the kings, the kings of the native facherio ask above all to repeal laws. Repeal the 8 / 2017, of 28 in December, which guarantees the rights, equal treatment and non-discrimination of people LGTBI and their relatives in Andalusia, repeal 12 / 2017, from 26 in November, which promotes gender equality en Andalusia, repeal 13 / 2017, of 26 in November, and its measures of prevention and comprehensive protection against gender violence, repeal Law of Historical Memory... Of course, well of bullfighting and do not miss the National Holiday.

It also addresses issues such as the abortion, education or the freedom of the press. As its leader affirms Santiago Abascal On twitter "They are proposals to negotiate and not bids. We have the right and the duty to do them. We do not pretend to please everyone, but neither do we deceive anyone. And so we will continue, representing 400.000 Andalusians who have given us their confidence. Without fear, and without asking permission«. All very moderate. So in full negotiation for the formation of the new Andalusian government, these are their demands to vote in favor of the investiture of the popular Juanma Moreno.

The 17 point is the one that makes special mention to the collective LGTBI and exposes the following:

«Repeal of the "Law 8 / 2017, of 28 in December, to guarantee the rightsthe equal treatment and non-discrimination of LGTBI persons and their families in Andalusia". The rights of people of homosexual orientation are already recognized in ordinary laws and the Constitution. Spain is not a "homophobic" country that needs laws special Law 8 / 2017 attributes unjustified privileges to associations LGTBas the right to interfere in education, to have specific organs in the Administrationtion and to receive grants«.
When you refer to the Freedom of education demands that «that the training centers will not disseminate any ideology that denies undoubted scientific facts, with special attention to biology«. We assume that it is an allusion to the orange bus of HazteOir.org.

These are the most controversial proposed 12 Vox to agree with PP and Citizens. Hold on!!!

  1. «Suppression of subsidies to associations and ideological NGOs”. To identify these groups, he argues that they are all "those dedicated to promoting a certain ideological vision." Without specifying more, it opens the door to a witch hunt for groups that would violate the freedom of association and thought protected by the Constitution.
  2. «Collaborate with the police in the identification of illegal immigrants so that they can be expelled ”. The formation accuses, without proof, the current government of the Junta de Andalucía of covering up irregular immigration and hiding from the Police the documentation of 52.000 immigrants for their expulsion. The competences in matters of Immigration are state, and it corresponds to both the Civil Guard and the National Police the action at borders and identification of migrants. Vox refers to immigrants, for example, who go to the doctor in an irregular situation. It demands that the Board denounce them. According to Professor Álvarez Ossorio, "proposing a collective expulsion is contrary to human rights conventions." «The Board is responsible for social assistance and unaccompanied minors. In addition, the Constitution has already extended the majority of rights to immigrants ”, he points out.
  3. Illegalization of organizations that, in his opinion, "favor illegal immigration". That is, to prohibit by law humanitarian groups that assist, help and rescue immigrants under the false pretext of collaboration with illegal mafias.
  4. A 'Parental PIN 'so that "the fathers can exclude their children from teachings, talks, workshops or activities with ideological or moral burden ". As with televisions or digital platforms, Vox wants to give all the power to parents to censor, according to their moral convictions, certain activities.
  5. Creation of a Family and Birth Counseling and promote a pro-family and pro-natality perspective in all policies.
  6. Protect women with unwanted pregnancies to convince them not to abort. "Make sure that none of them receives coercion or pressure from their environment that forces them to abort," they say.
  7. In the educational chapter they ask for "a guarantee that the training centers do not spread any ideology that denies undoubted scientific facts, with special attention to biology". That is to say, that inSchools do not talk about abortion and homosexuality.
  8. Defense of schools that segregate by sex. "The harassment that the Board has been exercising against educational models of differentiated education will be desisted, consolidating the right of parents to choose an educational model [...] It will be studied if there is sufficient demand for the opening of public centers of differentiated education". In this case, the Constitutional Court ruled less than a year ago that education segregated by sex "does not cause discrimination and is respectful of the Constitution."
  9. Repeal of the Law of Historical Memory approved by the Andalusian Parliamentin the previous legislature. In his opinion, "this law imposes, in an authoritarian way, a skewed version of Andalusian history in the 1931-1982 period." This legislation, among other things, requires the Junta de Andalucía "to carry out the necessary actions, in accordance with the approved protocols, to recover and identify the remains of disappeared victims and to prepare maps of the location of remains, as well as the person in charge of authorizing all location, exhumation and identification of remains and authorize the construction or removal of land in which there is knowledge of the existence of remains ".
  10. Obliging the Andalusian institutions and schools to celebrate the 12 party in October. Y change the Day of Andalusia, to commemorate the 28 of February the celebration of the referendum on the initiative of the autonomous process of Andalusia to celebrate the January 2 "the culmination of the Reconquest".
  11. Repeal of the Andalusian law against gender violence approved in the 2007 year. The formation of the extreme right is committed to "replace a law of domestic violence that does not judge the sex of the aggressor." In the text of the regulation, the board established that "women have the right to comprehensive protection against gender-based violence, which includes preventive measures, assistance measures and public assistance." Vox denies gender-based violence and insists on diluting the problem in intrafamily violence despite the fact that today the Supreme Court has established that it will not be necessary to prove the macho intention for an aggression to be gender violence. In case of mutual aggression, and if there is sufficient evidence to convict, the man will have to be convicted of crimes related to the male violence and the woman with domestic violence or family, with the penological differences that exist between both.
  12. To suppress the law of 2017 of the Andalusian Parliament that protected the LGTB collectivefrom, for example, homophobic attacks. Vox assures that these associations enjoy “unjustified privileges” and that “Spain is not a homophobic country”. The Andalusian norm in force was approved unanimously in the previous legislature, being a pioneer in almost all of Europe in imposing fines in cases of hatred or discrimination. For Álvare Ossorio, Vox promotes inequality measures against the protected constitutional right to promote equality and protection of certain groups. "It is an unacceptable regression," he laments.

VOX and Ana Rosa Quintana

In just 10 days VOX has managed to take Ana Rosa Quintana out of her boxes on two occasions, caricaturing her as Monster High Feminazi

GAYLES.TV.- The confrontation between Ana Rosa Quintana with his team of collaborators and VOX it has only just begun, but the mutual accusations and the gestures, especially by the militants of the ultra-rightist formation, are crossing all the red lines that we can imagine.

The thing started about 10 days ago, just before Reyes, when the general secretary of VOX got into a discussion, Javier Ortega Smith and the journalist Antonio Maestre. The collision in Telecinco, in Ana Rosa's program was predictable, but still the thing got out of hand. Questioned about the charges that Santiago Abascal had received for a charge assigned by Esperanza Aguirre With no known activity, Javier Ortega responded:  "Look, I answer the alleged criminals like you when I am in court and we will see each other in court". From there the silence.

But the silence would break the right-wing leader with a blow to the director and presenter of the program who, by the way, was absent on the day of the dispute. Blow in the form of a letter to the Three Kings in which, among other niceties, presents Ana Rosa Quintana as a doll Monster High Feminazi. Very elaborate replica, let's go.

caricature-Vox-Ana-Rosa-Quintana

But if something does not bite the famous presenter is the language and has not been slow to respond: «I have to say that I am very happy. If the nationalists call me facha, those of Vox call me feminazi, those of Podemos of rights ... then it means that I do my job well ».

But has the thing stayed there? Noooooo, because the two are going, VOX and Ana Rosa, that if something has a tremendous smell for the audiences and the subject pulls. So this week it's the turn of the vice-secretary of the party, Iván Espinosa de los Monteros. And this has managed to outrage the journalist.

And is that Espinosa, in the usual line of VOX blatantly lied when it comes to shuffling figures on gender violence, the number of women killed by their partners and children killed by their mothers. Yes, they lie about that without any flushing. And here Ana Rosa and the tertuliana Ana Pardo from Vera They jumped to the jugular of the interviewee: "I am outraged with the data you give about gender violence", snapped Ana Rosa to what Espinosa, offended because he had been called a liar, threatened to take off his penguin and leave: "Fuck. I cannot continue in these conditions ».

But before reaching that extreme and questioned about the position of VOX on LGTBI collectives, Espinosa released a master class of demagògia, showing a button: “I do not believe that the sexual condition of each one is a weakness, that a person for being lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual or intersex has an inferiority with respect to another. Look at you, if a person is bullied for being a woman, for being LGTB, for being fat, for wearing glasses, for whatever, of course you have to persecute him. But not explicitly only to LGTB, or only to women. (…) There is no need to reward or protect for being LGTB. When is there discrimination? Well, pursue it, but not with specific LGTB laws. Shall we make another one for the kids who have glasses? For those with a rare disease or syndrome? For battered men? Children with glasses abused? ".

That's how things are, cartoons, fake news, false figures, insults, easy allegories, nonsense, anything goes, 400.000 votes endorse them to try to send us all back to the Pleistocene, or we react or see each other in the cave.

Kim Pérez: the trans activist of 77 years has started a hunger strike

Kim Perez: «The human and civil rights of transgender people can never be a bargaining chip for coming to power »

GAYLES.TV.- It is not coincidental that the date chosen by Kim Pérez to start his hunger strike coincide with the feminist protest of the past 15 in January. Kim was always a pioneer: it was the first transsexual policy that was presented to an election. The activist returns to lead a fight that never left. To your 77 years has published on social networks the reasons for his strike in which he denounces the veiled intentions of Vox against movement LGTBI and his protest for the oblivion of the rights of the transsexuals in the agreement for the new government of Andalusia.

Kim Pérez: the trans activist of 77 years starts a hunger strikeThe government agreement between PP, Citizens y Vox, which does not mention the rights of transgender people and the statements of the far right formation against medical care by Social Security are some of the reasons that have pushed it to carry out this strike. In the text «Heart of the hunger strike»That he has posted on his facebook profile and that you can read in full at the end of the article sets out his arguments.

"The human and civil rights of transsexual people can never be a bargaining chip to reach power in Andalusia or anywhere else"Sentence Kim. “Who we are transsexuals, we need like water the freedom to live according to our identity "reza the statement in which it ensures that they will not cease to be visible "In the face of this danger", who believed "Already extinct".

According to the activist, who was awarded the Gold Medal of Merit of the city of Granada, not only medical care is at stake, but everything achieved in 20 years that now «he is in danger«. «The transgender children, who have been heard for the first time and respected, can be seen henceforth helpless«, Has alerted Pérez, who has also warned that mothers and fathers who until now had been a support may be prevented from giving a simple talk against bullying in schools.

Kim Pérez: the trans activist of 77 years starts a hunger strike

RUNNING OF THE HUNGER STRIKE
Corrazón is an expression of the current feminist culture in the Spanish language, which can replace that of "emotional intelligence". Heart and reason, two words that complement each other in our human life.
I will explain what has brought me to the current hunger strike and what perspectives I see with it.
The first is the conviction that, within a short time, our culture will have taken an example of intersexuals to understand the transsexual fact, very similar to intersexuals and even the same reality.
Just as intersexuality is understood by all, and is not discussed by right or left, transsexualism will be understood without mixing it with politics and accepted by mothers and fathers from the moment they are seen to exist. Just as there is intersexuality in the chromosomal, hormonal, internal ducts, external ducts, etc., there is a transsexuality at the cerebral level or at the level of personal experience. And just as intersexuality is not a disease, but a condition, transsexuality will not be seen as a disease, but as a condition that admits at the same time a plurality of forms of expression.
The second is that transsexuals, in almost all the world, are submitted to a repression that can not be called rational, but old, or medieval, or superstitious. In almost all the world it means different degrees of repression and turns that rationality will have to overcome again and again.
In our cultural field, we have managed to advance a lot since twenty years ago, right from Andalusia, but now we see one of those irrational regression attempts. Among us, in Latin America, the rational consciousness of some parts of society continues to advance, as it has just advanced here, but there is still a terrible irrational repression. In Argentina, for example, most of the transsexuals, because they have no more means of living than prostitution, die between the ages of thirty-five and forty, often murdered. Every night they go to the street afraid of not returning. Every year, between seventy and ninety transsexuals die, among a population as small as ours. In all Latin America, between nine hundred and one thousand. And the most amazing thing is that the general population sees it without flinching. There is a news story in the media and nobody is surprised.
That is why, from Spain, we are launching, as a solidarity initiative, the request of the Nobel Peace Prize for the Transsexuals of Latin America, as amazing as it may seem, just because of that, because they live and die for their identity. The right to be itself is the most valued by any person, and in that sense, they live and die, bravely, for all people.
Now that I have started this hunger strike, I would like all the parties, rationally, to take notice of what I am saying here. It is an invitation to reflection, to rationality and, saying the expression of the principle, to the heart. In humans, the heart, intelligence and feelings related to it, end up imposing, although it costs us work.
Therefore, this hunger strike has the intention that the five parties currently in the Andalusian Parliament, are aware. It may be with more or less reservations, expressing their major or minor disagreements, the human is to dialogue, but simply, to sign an acknowledgment of receipt, as when a letter of importance is received. And, from that moment, let the heart make its way.

To anyone moderately informed about who is Javier Tebas he has been caught by surprise the positioning of the president of the LFP. In his day Thebes was a militant of New Force that, for the youngest ones, we will remember that it was an extreme right party founded by Blas Piñar (a face without shades) and that, until today is the only one with clearly fascistoid ideology that has had representation in the Congress of Deputies.

In other words, the right thing comes from afar to Thebes and has been leaving ideological crumbs along the way as to declare sympathy for The Pen or the recent statements in an act with homophobic tagline: «There are a lot of maricomplejines on the Spanish right. The right wing has been a coward. If I have a feeling of unity in Spain, of family, of defense of life and of religion… I still think the same as 20 years ago. But I am not from the extreme right ”. Of course not, chati, yours is much more moderate, where are you going to stop….!

So as soon as you have put a microphone in front of you COPE He has lacked time to declare his love for VOX: "If they continue in this line, I will vote for them". Yes, they will vote, the main responsible for our football, will vote for those who want to expel 52.000 immigrants, who want to repeal the laws against sexist violence and LGTBI collective rights. He will vote them.

Javier Tebas

And what can we expect from an institution that goes off on a tangent every time they are told about homophobia? The most responsible of the LFP interrogated by Rubén López, president of the Madrid Observatory against LGTBfobia about the possibility of promoting a day against homophobia in football responded: "There is no homophobia in Spanish football. The players would have told us. That's why we do not do campaigns ". Ole! How far are we left Bundesliga and the Premier League with their rainbow laces days, with the unconditional support of all clubs against homophobia…. that far.

If the Spanish clubs except for very honorable exceptions were already lukewarm in terms of eradicating homophobia, we do not want to imagine what the emergence of VOX will mean in political life and, consequently, in the stadiums and in the LFP. The horror.

And we will continue with the fulanito fagot from the stand or Menganito returns to the jungle and Tebas leveraged in the presidency and voting for VOX. And to the presidents of the clubs it seems that the thing catches them out of game and, we repeat, except for very honorable exceptions, they are dedicated to throwing balls out. We have it clear, red card for Tebas and explosive expulsion.

I ban transgender people in the US Army

The Supreme Court of the United States gives green light to Trump to veto trans people in the army

One of the measures that Donald Trump has tried to boost since its arrival at the Casa Blanca, has been to eliminate the presence of transsexual people from the Armed Forces. Until now the courts had restrained his aspirations which, in his usual line, he tried to impose by means of decrees. The magistrates have considered until today that its application fully violated the concept of equality.

Actually, what the Supreme Court has done is a Pontius Pilate washing his hands and delegating to lower courts while, de facto, yielding to Trump's transfobas requests. And is that the statement issued by the highest court in the country makes it quite clear: “The Supreme Court decision - by five votes in favor, against four against - grants the Trump Administration's request to allow the veto of military service for transgender people to go into effect, while appeals are heard in lower courts ». Ready, right?

trans protest in the US

Trump's argument states that a report prepared by the Pentagon, established that the presence in military settings (see you where) of transgender people "Puts military loyalty and effectiveness at risk". Take now, and stay so wide, well, without arguments and without disheveled a gray hair. Often they throw him on the subject of justifying the unjustifiable.

Of course, the million-dollar question would be: and why, until now, has Trump been stopped and now suddenly the Supreme Court makes that decision? Well, very simple, as usual, if you do not like what a court dictates, change some magistrate, where is the problem? Does not the subject of other matters resonate with you? At the end of the 2018 the judge Brett Kavanaugh it was incorporated to the Supreme one decanting the balance to a conservative majority vote. Any other question?

The truth is that it gives authentic asquito. Do you remember Trump raising the rainbow flag in his election campaign? And the shameful support of Caitlyn Jenner attending his takeover? Ay the hemerotecas is what they have, that nothing falls into oblivion, here in the article "Caitlyn Jenner Supports Trump" You can recover it and serve to reflect on the immense joke of the `` politics of the delusional tycoon and his fake news. The message is clear: if we continue like rats voting for Pied Pipers (read Salvani, Trump, VOX, etc…) we will all end up in the river. Who Forewarned is forearmed.

One year in jail for interviewing a gay

An Egyptian presenter is sentenced to one year in prison for interviewing a homosexual

GAYLES.TV.- To the Egyptian presenter Mohamed al Ghaity he is accused of "Contempt for religion, debauchery and propagate homosexuality". As reported EFE, for all these charges an Egyptian court has sentenced the presenter of the program "Sah al Num" (wake up!) to one year in prison, a fine of 3.000 Egyptian pounds, equivalent to about 168 dollars and a year of surveillance for inviting a young gay man to the show.

Al Ghaity was denounced by the Egyptian lawyer Samir Sabry to the Office of the Attorney General since, in the complainant's opinion, the presenter would be responsible for "Contradict the most basic religious rules and pillars and totally obviate the laws". Always according to Sabry, the presenter when addressing the young gay "He started asking lots of questions and all dirty and low level" adding that "The live responses were all even worse and they cannot be broadcast on television or in other media".

If we go to the sources that have generated this conflict, that is, to the program, the facts were the following: in August of last year, a young man whose image was pixelated and who, consequently, could not be identified, was invited to the program from Al Ghaity to talk about her life as a sex worker and more specifically her relationship with a man from a Persian Gulf country. The young man answered questions such as: «Have you entered the world of prostitution as a man? Were you wanted? or what was your price? ". And here is where Sabry's accusation grounds his argument for considering that, when the presenter "He began to mention the economic gains of the practices of homosexuality that the homosexual obtained", I was doing "a call to propagate debauchery ". That's projecting and the other nonsense.

The fact is that after the program was broadcast, it was suspended for two weeks by the Supreme Council for Regulation of the Media due to "Repeated violations of the channel". Then the complaint would come to the presenter.

The most striking thing about this case is that currently homosexuality is not criminalized in Egypt But members of the LGTBI collective are persecuted and punished by applying laws such as the one that penalizes "libertinism" or that of "prostitution". The penalties in these cases can reach 3 years of imprisonment.

We are not dead

The writer Roy Galán has published a text on Facebook about the aggression against the LGTBI Center in Barcelona that we wanted to recover here.

GAYLES.TV.- Roy Galán is a Galician writer who approaches the quarantine with three books published behind him (one of them very recent, by the way, "Nobody inside you"). Bachelor of Law, however, has focused his career in more creative tasks, literature, illustration, photography. And one would say that everything is done well, to the point that the supplement El País He recognized him as a new talent for his photographic work.

But it was a text of his that we read on Facebook, which leads us to want to publish it here today, on Gayles.tv. Not only because of the emotionality that it distils and because of its claiming character, but also because of the literary quality, the good work and the commitment that overflows. It tells us about the aggression of the past weekend LGTBI Center of Barcelona.

That its reading serves to reflect on what happened, on the barbarism and fascism that surrounds us and, why not? make it a perfect occasion to discover this great writer and best person. We are left with the definition that we read on his website: "Roy Galán has been writing even before he learned to write. Because a writer is also the one who dreams, aware that there is a world on the reverse side of each letter, and we are sowing the doubt whether that might not be the real world ".

Roy Galán

Here is your text:

"Hate is always a decision.

Someone decides to write RIP LGTBi law on the ground.

Someone decides to break the glass of the recently opened LGTBI center in Barcelona.

Write that we are dead.

No, we are not.

Even though we have been killed throughout history in every possible way in which we can kill a human being.

They have imprisoned us for vagrants and thugs, they have given us electric shocks to cure us of our disease, they have shot us and thrown us in gutters, they have chased us, insulted, spat and beaten us, they have withdrawn our affections, threatened to stop loving us if not We changed, blackmailed into telling our "secret", they have stigmatized and held us responsible for carrying a virus, they have excluded and discriminated against us and kicked us out of our homes, they have tried to make us feel guilty, to think that we deserved nothing good except the Hell, there was something wrong with who we were.

And then they have 'accepted' us under their rules, only if we followed their types of normality. You can join but that is not marriage, do not mess it up, nothing to call your family or raise anyone, because family is what I say is family, they are gay as God intended and not those crazy the floats, let them do their things in their places and don't bother us, how funny and handsome they are, what a pity they don't like girls, you don't notice anything is that she's very feminine.

When it has not been like that and we have been "annoying", they have been offended and angry to see that we have not been what they have needed us to be: invisible.

But enough to do as we do not exist.

Because we are despite what anyone can say about our existences.

We do not have to fit into anyone's world.

Because the world also belongs to us.

As much as fuck them.

They want us with fear, but we and we have decided to fight with our joy.

Because joy and love are also a decision.

Make ropes with our fingers.

Kiss us

Invade the streets with the presence of our feelings.

Live with pride

Never retreat. "

Roy Galán

Thank you Roy, infinite thanks for this declaration of principles from the heart.

"Carmen and Lola", Goya doubly

The film "Carmen y Lola" obtains the Goya for the best novel direction and Carolina Yuste for the best supporting actress for her role in the film by Arantxa Echevarría

GAYLES.TV.- A couple of months ago we predicted a promising future for the risky bet that Arantxa Echevarría I did with "Carmen and Lola". And the project was worth as much praise as disqualifications, especially by some gypsy associations. You can retrieve all the information in the article "Carmen and Lola, the tear".

But justice has finally been done and the scriptwriter and director of this fantastic film, Arantxa Echevarría, picked up this past Saturday the Goya to the best novel address and he did it with a brief speech but he does not have a single wasted coma. After remembering that "The maturity of a society is measured by the place that women occupy in it", invited the retrograde to go see a movie of "Lesbians, gypsies and women".

The director cried out for equal rights, diversity in all areas and freedom in a society that seems to be stunned and paralyzed in the face of the rise of the extreme right. In fact, it was to those who follow and vote that right that I dedicate the film: «I want to dedicate this film, which is about love, to all those who do not allow to love the different, those who are not capable of putting themselves in the shoes of the minority and the different, those who do not believe that a law of violence of gender, those who believe that LGTBI groups do not need support, those who think that abortion and sex change is not part of public health. I want to dedicate it to them so that, please, they can go to see a film about lesbians, gypsies and women. Let's see if something moves them ». You can say higher, but not clearer.

Arantxa dedicated herself during the gala to recording the entire ceremony with the camera El País while emotionally stressed what it meant to debut as a nominee "... to my 51 years!" and of cherry the prize.

But the Goyas for "Carmen and Lola" were not limited to their director.  Carolina Yuste I picked up the Goya as best supporting actress for her role as Paqui, the social worker who helps the couple of gypsy lesbians protagonists of the film. In fact, Yuste was the only professional actress of the cast and has imposed herself in the voting of the academics to Anna Castillo, who competed for "Trip to a mother's room"; Natalia de Molina, for "Who will sing to you" and the veteran Ana Wagener, for "The Kingdom". Happy to pick up the prize said: "I am happy to be in a project in which 70% of the team are women (...) when we are given the voice, films like this come out that can change consciences".

Gillette shaves machismo

Gillete launches a campaign against toxic masculinity and the machitos of the world world tear their clothes

GAYLES.TV.- For more than 20 years the firm Gillette He starred in one of the first and most scandalous relocations that had taken place in Spain. They closed the factory they had in Alcala de Guadaira, province of Seville and 3 opened new factories in Stalingrad, Turkey and Poland. When that decision was made, the company had overcome a crisis, had profits of 700 million of the old pesetas and 75% of the sales of the sector in the Spanish market. Why did they do it? Very simple: because those 700 millions of benefits would become 1.000 if the social conditions and salaries became those of Eastern countries. In unemployment and misery they left more than 250 families. Do you know how many machirulos came out to protest this savagery? Not one, for their jobs fought those affected, their families and little else.

Gillette ad

Interestingly now we are living a massive mobilization against Gillette on social networks (nothing like a dislike well lounging on the couch with your beer and your cigarette). And, what have these people believed about Gillette campaigning against the essence of the male, why, what is a man if he is not a stalker, if he does not fight and split his face, if he does not bully the weaker? What kind of man fuck do you want to convert? At this step you end up all bitter with so much denunciation of "toxic masculinity".

In its new campaign, the razor firm shows various behaviors sadly associated with masculinity (homophobia, sexual harassment, bullying) and asks a question: “Is this the best a man can be?" Then we can see infinitely more positive behaviors: men protecting children, avoiding harassment of women or putting peace in a fight. That is, positive behaviors of men are praised. Where is the problem? Well, in those men are not soeces, or violent, or stalkers, are not hard macho that serve as a model for the new generations.

Little joke because the number of dislikes doubles that of likes and some people take the trouble to upload to social networks photos of their razors Gillete in the garbage can. Things that do not believe, Sancho!

Martina Navratilova: defender of the LGTB + a transphoba collective

Martina Navratilova attacks trans athletes: "it is insane, cheating and unfair"

GAYLES.TV.- In 1981, Martina Navratilova she claimed lesbian. Since then the winning 177 extenist titles, 59 of them from Grand Slam, it was an icon for the community LGTB +. Things have changed. In December he published a tweet that lit the fuse: “someone you can not proclaim a woman and thus compete against women«. And he added «There must be some standards, and having a penis and competing as a woman would not conform to that standard«.

The champion of transgender cycling, and also medical, Rachel McKinnon, he did not take long to answer «Genitalia are irrelevant to athletic performance. Totally irrelevant. The difference between a trans woman (especially testosterone blockers) with a penis… and a trans woman without a penis is nothing. Therefore, focusing on the genitals is transphobic«. Navratilova He knew how to rectify, he deleted the tweet and he wrote I'm sorry if I said something transphobic, I certainly didn't mean to hurt. I will educate myself better on this subject, but in the meantime I will keep quiet. Thanks".

But now it returns to the charge in an article published on February 17 The Sunday TimesNavratilova insists: «I promised to keep quiet until I investigated more. I did it and my opinions have been strengthened. To be basic: a man decides he is a woman, takes hormones if the sports organization requires it, earns everything in sight and perhaps earns a small fortune, and then reverses his decision and makes babies again if he so decides. you want

Navratilova: «They are men who decided to be women«

It's crazy and it's a trap. I am happy to address a transgender woman in any way she prefers, but I would not like to compete against her. It would not be fair (…) Simply reducing hormone levels (as required by regulations) does not solve the problem. A man develops muscle and bone density, as well as a greater number of red blood cells that carry oxygen, from childhood ", writes the extenist.

The replica of Mckinnon Do not be late: «The last piece of Navratilova in the Sunday Times it is at once disturbing, disturbing and deeply transphobic (…) «She exchanges stereotypes and stigmas against trans women, treating us as men who only pretend to be real women. It seeks to deny the rights of trans women to compete under the rules. And the current rules, like the International Olympic Committee since 2003, it explicitly welcomes trans women to compete at the highest levels. I guess it's a lot to ask Martina to just do the same »

Navratilova responded to criticism with regretting “What appears to be a growing trend among transgender activists to denounce anyone who argues against them and label them as 'transphobos' That is another form of tyranny and I am concerned that others may cower in silence or submission.

Schools in France replace the terms "mother" and "father" with others of neutral gender

Schools in France replace the terms "mother" and "father" by "parent 1" and "parent 2" to be more neutral and make family diversity visible

GAYLES.TV.- The name does not do the thing, but it makes it visible. In French schools they have taken a step forward in terms of family diversity. They will replace the terms "father" and "mother" in the official forms with other gender neutral terms. The goal is to include all types of families. The documents will contain «parent 1" Y "parent 2«.

"We have families in front of the boxes marked in social and family models quite old-fashioned. For us, this article is a measure of social equality ", he pointed Valérie Petit, deputy of La Republic in March (REM), current ruling party.

The measure is not without controversy, despite good intentions the Association of Homoparental Families has criticized that the number that accompanies the term creates a "parental hierarchy". "Who is the father number 1 and who is the father number 2? ", Questioned his president Alexandre Urwicz.

It is clear that it is a moment of social and linguistic change. En Sweden many young people have adopted the neuter personal pronoun «Hen«, and in Spanish the use of the final word -ea is being extended instead of -au -o for the same purpose. We will see how language and society evolve.
