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.

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.

Kifkif closes with its leader denounced for alleged embezzlement

Samir Bargachi, founder of Kifkif, is accused of keeping more than 200.000 euros from the association

Kifkif It was the first association to provide protection and help to migrants and refugees LGTBIQ + providing them with social assistance, psychological support, sexual health or language courses, among other functions. From 2002 carried out unprecedented work in Spain which quickly began to acquire notoriety and a specific weight within the Madrid solidarity fabric. Last October 26 Kif Kif The blinds closed definitively because its founder, Samir Bargachi, is accused of embezzling more than $200.000.

With the closure, not only is the enormous work that this association carried out for the group lost. LGTBIQ +, a deeper gap is also opening up, if possible, that of the discredit of many other associations LGTBIQ + subsidized companies that will suffer suspicion and unfair criticism for the bad actions of a single character: Samir Bargachi.

When Bargachi arrived in Madrid he was a young Moroccan who emigrated to Spain at just 13 years old and whose nonconformity with Arab ways of thinking and laws led him to create this NGO. The name he gave it is not coincidental: Kifkif it means "from peer to peer" in the Berber language.

Embezzlement of 208.580 euros

Everything changed on October 14. That day, the newspaper El Mundo published an article in which it was revealed that the Moroccan has been denounced for «misappropriation, document falsification and fraud» to his own society. Specifically, he is accused of a «total embezzlement of 208.580 euros since April 2021» to the accounts of the NGO.

Jesús Ortega, former treasurer of the company, is one of the complainants. «I have treated Samir like a son, I have known him since he was little. I myself helped him in the creation of the association because he needed three signatures. I saw birth Kifkif and now it hurts me a lot to have to be the one to close it"he says in a telephone conversation with The Huff Post.

Everything happened on July 25. “Some workers contact me and tell me that the economic situation is bad and I try to contact the president, Samir Bargachi”, says the former treasurer. “When I contacted him to tell him about the situation, he told me that we would talk the next day, but he disappeared.", remember.

After receiving silence in response, “We began to investigate and we estimate that the possible embezzlement could exceed 200.000 euros.", they calculate from the NGO. “We believe that it has been little by little” they complete. Besides, "does not want to explain”, which is why the association resorted to disciplinary dismissal.

Kifkif Liquidation

Kifkif: the first NGO for LGTBIQ+ migrants closes with its leader denounced for alleged embezzlement

Following the complaint, Ortega has taken the position of provisional president with a single task: to proceed with the settlement of the association and execute the ERE that will affect all its workers. «We are going to leave fifteen people on the street because of poor management«, He laments.

These last days, Jesus asks through its social networks that no one donate or become a "friend" of the association because Samir I would still control the money that may enter through these channels. In fact, through the official account on X or Instagram of Kifkif, Until recently, the accused continued to ask for the solidarity collaboration of his followers «to continue protecting the rights of LGTBI migrants and refugees«. They were already the last publications that were made from both accounts, supposedly under the power of Samir being the only one who has the access keys. Neither promotion of the association's activities nor proclamations in favor of the rights of the group. Only "spam» to ask for money «by all possible means«Assures Ortega.

a sad ending

A bad end for an association that was the flag of the cause LGTBIQ+ in Madrid and that took care, especially, of the migrant population. «The work I did Kifkif They are very necessary. In reports of UNHCR It is detailed that asylum requests due to persecution suffered due to gender identity and sexual orientation have multiplied progressively and exponentially, becoming one of the most recurrent reasons in requests for international protection today. Unfortunately, Kifkif will not continue with its activity, but the technical team of professionals feels a true vocation and passion for our work, above names and surnames and brands and we want to carve our own path, based on transparency, honesty and good practices", account.

Kevin Spacey comes out after being accused of child abuse

Kevin Spacey uses his sexual orientation as a smokescreen

GAYLES.TV.- The actor Kevin Spacey it has been declared gay. So far little news because it was an open secret within the community LGTB + and the film industry. His answers about his sexual orientation were always shy, he never got wet about this issue. And that did not lack opportunities as in the last gala of the Tony awards with Whoopi Goldberg. So… why now?

Last midnight the protagonist of House of Cards He decided to his 58 years that it was the right time to communicate to the world via Twitter which has kept «rElations with both men and women«. And that has «beloved and had romantic encounters with men throughout his life, but now he has chosen to live as a gay man«. In just three hours, his official coming out of the closet accumulates 11.600 retweets.

Anthony Rapp Kevin SpaceyWhat has changed to go from not wanting to talk about your private life to proclaim it on social networks? Nothing less than a accusation of child abuse. A few hours before the actor Anthony Rapp related to the portal Buzzfeed some events that occurred in 1986, When I had 14 years. By Rapp one night at a house party Kevin Spacey, he lay on top of her with the intention of having sexual intercourse. «He stepped into the door as he staggered. My impression is that he was drunk. I tried to seduce me. He grabbed me like when the husband grabs his wife on the wedding night«. Finally she managed to get away from him.

The case of Harvey Weinstein, accused of harassing and sexually abusing dozens of women, encouraged Rapp to tell about this episode that happened more than 30 years ago. «I want to shed light on decades of behaviors that have continued to exist because many people, including myself, have remained silent«.

The apologies of Kevin Spacey

«Honestly, I do not remember the meeting, which would have happened more than 30 years ago. But if I behaved as he describes, I owe my most sincere apology for what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behavior«Kevin Spacey wrote in his statement on Twitter.

What we do not understand is why he takes advantage now to declare himself gay. Why are people more scandalized by their sexual orientation than by having stalked a minor? Why do you mix harassment with being gay? Is this the most creeping smokescreen in history?

So when Spacey claimed to be innocent in the Massachusetts court, he asked for a forensic copy  "Complete and unaltered" of the plaintiff's phone data. But the young man said he had lost it during the trial hearings. As it was a key piece to support the defense of the accused, it was decided to dismiss the charges.

In any case it would be just one of the 30 complaints of harassment and assault that Kevin Spacey is currently pending in courts of Los Angeles and England. Spacey's nightmare began shortly after the appearance of the #MeToo movement and although the two-time Oscar winner publicly apologized, it was too late because the chain of accusations against him had been fired.

Kenya against the gay lions

Two male lions in a national park isolated by being photographed having sex

GAYLES.TV.- In Gayles.tv We began to consider an exclusive section of animals or perhaps we should expand the acronym with an “A”, like LGTBIA. All kinds of critters with polyamorous, polysexual, homosexual behaviors, etc, etc ... have circulated on this screen ... Vultures, gorillas, fish, a tiger with a goat, turtles and, sadly, a horse that they sacrificed for being "homosexual". In short, several animations that show how insulting it is for the supposedly non-rational that we compare them with humans.

Today we bring you the story of two male lions from a Kenyan national park who had the misfortune to be photographed by a tourist while practicing sex placidly. To the person in charge of the censorship in cinema and television of Kenya, Ezequiel Mutua, he has not liked a single hair the images he saw and of course he has given us all his opinion about it. He states that the behavior of the two cats is not due to their animal instinct, "If our lions begin to have homosexual behavior, it will surely be the end of animal species." According to Mutua, the behavior is due to the influence of homosexual visitors to the park Masai Mara since they probably will have imitated gay visitors who have had sex in plain sight around the world or who are simply driven by "a diabolical force".

gay lions

All very normal: gays fucking in the parks between lions and satan demonstrating in the zoo ... anyway. The statements have been made public in your Twitter account accompanied by an article to the newspaper "Nairobi News" that gathers his reflections and the measures taken in this regard, namely: he has asked that the two lions be captured and that they be isolated so that the scientists "can determine how and where they acquired that strange homosexual behavior" which, in their opinion, is against nature because it does not fulfill the ultimate purpose of sex, which is procreation. The icing on your statement is the conclusion that comes after claiming with disbelief a verification of the sex of the lions (as if the images did not appreciate the characteristic mane of the males!): "The two lions need advice" concludes.

Of course, Mutua's behavior is not surprising in Kenya considering that it is part of the infamous group of seventy countries in which consensual sexual relations between people of the same sex are still penalized. The law applies penalties of between 8 and 14 years for homosexual conduct.

Mr. Mutua would do well to leave doubts with the great article "Of animals and homosexuals" Marc Arenas Camps published on Gayles.tv, if you do not know him, I highly recommend reading.

Kenya censors "Rafiki", a lesbian film

Kenya has banned the exhibition of "Rafiki", the first film in its history to be screened at Cannes, as it is a lesbian story

GAYLES.TV.- The babbling of LGTBI activism to improve the situation of people from the collective in Kenya encounters an insurmountable wall: that of the rigid moral that punishes with up to 14 years of prison the homosexual relations based on a law of the colonial stage.

And the conflict that is being lived around the projection of "Rafiki" in Kenyan territory it does not escape this atavism. The decision to ban the premiere has been made by the Film Rating Council of Kenya (KFCB) due to the argument that tells the story of a friendship between two women who end up falling in love. The person in charge of monitoring the content of the films alleges that he is being vetoed "because of his homosexual theme and his clear attempt to promote lesbianism in Kenya contrary to the law". Insisting on the fact that "contains homosexual scenes that go against the law, culture and moral values ​​of the Kenyan people," noting that "any exhibition or distribution of the aforementioned film or part of it for public consumption contravenes the law and will lead to severe punishment. "

Pathetic if we consider that "Rafiki" is the first film in the history of the country that has been invited to participate in the section Palma Queer de Cannes, where from the next 8 in May will compete with films like "Carmen y Lola" by Arantxa Echevarría. The director of the tape, Wanuri Kahiu has declared in an interview to the agency Reuters: “I am very disappointed, because Kenyans already have access to movies with LGBT content through Netflix and international festivals that arrive in Kenya and are allowed by the Council itself. So to censor the premiere of a Kenyan film that deals with issues that are already present in their society seems a bit contradictory. "

Rafiki, kiss between the protagonists

But the censorship of the film is, paradoxically, generating an expectation and even indignation in sectors of the population that are not LGTBI. "It's an outrage, a shame. And the people of Kenya will see the film censored or not. They will find a way to see it. " That's how hard it has been shown Lorna Dias, Kenyan activist for LGTBI rights in an interview with the same news agency.

"Rafiki", which is an adaptation of the story "Jambula Tree" from the Ugandan writer Monica Arac, comes to swell the long list of films banned by the KFCB that with its censorship places the Kenyan society in the minority in terms of access to cultural content. The conflict has reached the point of forcing some statements to the chain CNN of the President of the country, Uhuru Kenyatta, in which he assures that the rights of lesbians, gays, transsexuals, bisexuals and intersexes, is a subject "without relevance, it is not a matter of human rights" adding that, according to him, he is rejected by the Kenyan society.

Perhaps the saddest thing about this situation of taboo and repression that exists in Africa is, like the law that in this case prevents the exhibition of "Rafiki", a dark and terrible legacy of Western colonialism. As it explains Marc Serena in his book "This is not African", The pre-colonial societies and culture on the continent were not at all homophobic. Another plague more than the Africans suffer thanks to Western greed. It is worth reading if you have the opportunity and also view the interview that once made him Gayles.tv and that you will find following this link: "This is not African!".

And of course, to make your mouth, do not miss the trailer of "Rafiki" that we bring you here.

The actress is promoting the film «Ammonite»In which she plays the paleontologist Mary Anning, a film marked by the lesbian romance between her character and the one played by Saoirse Ronan.

The winner of Oscar by "The Reader»Has confessed in the interview that he knows quite a few actors with fear that their sexual orientation will be made public for fear of how that could affect their careers. winslet He did not give any name but gave a very specific example of a colleague of his, to whom they have recommended not to reveal anything: «Yes, I am going to tell you that there is a well-known actor who has just found a new representative in the United States and that the first thing he has advised him is never to make his bisexuality public. 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.

KANSAS, communication with pride

KANSAS, LGTBI and inclusive marketing and communication agency

GAYLES.TV.- Kansas is a communication company that defines itself as creative, inclusive, feminist and LGTBI. We interviewed Marius Nunez, CEO of KANSAS Agency, who explains to us how they integrate diversity in communication in a global way and what is the background that has led them to start this trip to Oz.

Together we are stronger

The last 29 of April the ambassador of the United States in Spain D. James Costos summoned in his private residence to representatives of NGOs, LGBT institutions and gay sector entrepreneurs. That the meeting took place in his personal residence, says a lot about the type of initiative, but we must not forget that he is the representative of a great power.

This is, without a doubt, a excellent news and although the meeting revealed the inconsistencies, lack of communication between sectors and, in short, the apparent divorce of interests, we should not fall into the trap of negativity. There are many more things that unite us than those that separate us. Those of us who ultimately benefit from the work of institutions and the offer of LGBT entrepreneurs are the same, those of us who belong to this community and the lack of agreement between sectors can only harm us.

The objective continues to be to deepen the normalization of the LGBT world in society and this will only be possible within the framework of a non-politicized model in which initiatives and public and private capital establish ways of collaboration and work together.

From Gayles.tv we applaud the initiative and we join any proposal of work in this line.

The alleged serial killer of gays in Bilbao declares that he attacked “on impulse”

The accused, who has only responded to the questions of his lawyer, has acknowledged that he performed a maneuver with his arms with the aim of stunning the victim and stealing his bank cards. However, the known date killer has denied that his intention was to kill the victim, which he has declared behind closed doors.

Nelson David MB, who faces a request for a sentence of up to almost 18 years, has stated that the December 17th 2021 He went to the victim's house, whom he had met weeks before through the app wapo. While they were on the couch, she hugged him.”with the left arm giving him kisses on the neck”. However, at a moment when she began to press harder, the victim became scared and began to scream: “Help, he wants to kill me!".

In his statement, the accused insisted that he tried to calm the victim, but when he saw that it was not possible he wanted to flee. “What I was doing is not who I am as such”, he stated.

Trial against the alleged serial killer of gays in BilbaoA band in Bilbao

During this first session, the accused admitted that he had a gang with which he regularly operated. It is, supposedly, three other men who met in March 2021 in the living room santana 27 in a festive context. Two of them used to deceive the victims while the other two extracted the money from the cards and carried out the Bizum to divide the loot. In fact, the accused has acknowledged that on the day of the events for which he is being tried, his accomplices were in the vicinity of the victim's home, in Old Town of Bilbao. "You screwed up, we have to open up", they allegedly snapped at him after learning what happened.

Modus Operandi

The existence of a modus operandi It is relevant since the accused's pending legal cases add up to another six, some of them archived. In fact, the objective of the defense lawyer is for the accused to also be tried for the dismissed proceedings. It was precisely the complaint of this victim who managed to escape an attempted strangulation that put the suspect on the trail. Ertzaintza about a possible serial killer in Bilbao, since the investigations they uncovered a pattern –all of his victims were homosexuals–, casting doubt on five deaths that had initially been considered natural.

"He liked strong sex, very sadomasochistic”, he explained before explaining that the first of their meetings took place two days before the attempted asphyxiation for which he is being tried. “He asked me to hit him harder, he always wanted more”, he pointed out.

Play the killing of gays

The online game "Angry Goy 2" aims to rescue a kidnapped Donald Trump while murdering different minorities.

GAYLES.TV.- The ability of evil to use the most beautiful things we have in order to obtain its perverse ends is incredible. Because that is precisely what it has done Christopher Cantwell through an online game, to incite the worst instincts of the users playing.

You will wonder who this gentleman is, because this Cantwell is a white supremacist who last year had his moment of glory in the USA when he organized a neo-Nazi rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. That is, an undesirable that has caught the taste of notoriety and now has decided to delight other white supremacists by creating "Angry Goy 2", a game that encourages its users to carry out massacres in gay dens and synagogues, and also (of course!) to murder immigrants and journalists. All for the sake of keeping alive Trump's "make America great again." The famous "America first (and the others after)".

The argument of the game is that some very bad "terrorists of the left" have kidnapped Donald Trump and the players must rescue him. To do this they must overcome several levels that have different names and refer to different minorities. One of them is called

«LGBTQ + Agenda HQ» And to overcome it, you have to break into a gay club decorated with rainbow flags and signs in which we can read “Children are welcome”, a very unsubtle way of equating homosexuality and pedophilia. But let's continue. Once inside you have to use different types of weapons, «pistols, knives, etc ...». massacre all who are there. Come on, pure pacifism.

Clearly evoked the massacre of Orlando, Florida a couple of years ago that left us the sad balance of 49 people killed.

But there are other levels as fun as this one that players must complete. For example, murdering journalists who work in the organization «Fake News Network», the name under which Donald Trump has renamed the news chain CNN, whose reporters he has branded "enemies of the people."

angry goy 2

They must also murder people who show up on the street in favor of the decriminalization of abortion or of the reception of refugees and displaced persons from other countries who wish to enter the United States.

And how does Cantwell justify such a game spawn? Well, so:

«Angry Goy II is the fashion game for white men who are fed up with the Jews, instead of taking out your frustrations with real human beings, now you can fight against mestizos and degenerates from your computer ». Oh, what a big heart trying to get the skin of half humanity to safety!

Different human rights organizations in the United States have shouted in the sky and have already warned that the creation of these video games by the extreme right has as its objective radicalize minors. That it would be the way to later recruit them into supremacist groups using a seemingly harmless game to convince them that minorities must be crushed for the country to flourish.

And I say, to ban it for incitement to hatred and violence does not take in the US? And to think that here they put you in the trullo for singing a rap ... what a world this is!

Jorge Javier Vázquez: «I have suffered a stroke»

The presenter relates his most terrible hours as a diary

GAYLES.TV.- "My head starts to hurt on Tuesday. Little bit. I attribute it to fatigue. On Wednesday night I go to bed with a pain that begins to be insufferable. During Thursday the pain comes and goes intermittently and I have a hard time during the gala«. With these words he begins his story Jorge Javier Vazquez, the star presenter of Mediaset. The rumors about his state of health began on Saturday when he canceled his theater performance and did not present the Saturday Deluxe. Yesterday. in the after-dinner program Telecinco, Carlota Corredera He gave explanations about his condition without detailing too much. Today it was Jorge Javier himself who, by way of a newspaper, has related his most terrible hours in the blog he has in the magazine Readings.

Day by day he narrates how he felt: «I wake up on Saturday around six in the morning. What a bad time for negative thoughts to assail you. I think of the tumor that killed my father and his aunt. And what worries me the most is not my death, but how to tell my mother. I imagine what I would do if they told me that I have little time to live and I conclude that I would not give myself to throw myself into the streets and burn them. Unlike".

After the severe pain, he decides to go to the emergency room on Saturday at noon: «They calm my pain and do a scan. They see a spot on the brain that could be a congenital vascular problem. I ask about the tumor. They discard it. What a relief. They recommend that I have an MRI to rule out any major problems, but they don't do them on Saturdays and I have to stay hospitalized to be controlled.

It also has a point of humor that your ex-boyfriend Paco, who calls P. is accompanying him: «We have not seen each other for more than a year and we are reunited in a hospital, which is a very suitable place because we do not have to talk about why we left it and those things. As I am of natural advantage, I punish him by asking him several things very quickly. First an American coffee, then another, then a decaffeinated, pull up the back of the bed, bring me the glasses to see, please bring me the command of the TV. There's been a moment that I've seen him snort, but for now he's holding on well«.

The doctors saw something very serious, so they operated on him urgently. The diagnosis? a congenital aneurysm that led to a small hemorrhage. «It has been mild. It could have been worse. Much worse » recognizes Vázquez.

Jorge Javier Vázquez, "the presenter"

The homophobia of Intereconomía does not respect anyone. In the program "Thanks for nothing" they qualify Jorge Javier Vázquez as "good presenter" making fun of him for being gay

GAYLES.TV.- Say that Intereconomía is a string that ranks on the right is a euphemism, because it can be a means of right or left or what everyone wants, everyone has the right to express themselves. What ends up tiring is the repeated insult and lack of respect towards certain groups, people, currents of thought, ideologies or gender, for not continuing with the variables of individuals that could be insulted by the chain.

The palm in terms of homophobia in particular is being carried lately by the program "Thanks for nothing" that the best thing that it has is the title, very successful by the way. In the web of the chain this program is defined as "A satirical informative presented by José Antonio Fuster and Rocío Manzaneque"And the programs posted on the network are preceded by a warning:" The next space is a satirical informative that uses satirical humor to make social and political criticism from satire. If you are one of those who are easily offended, we recommend that you do not see it. On other channels there are films from the west. " (No comments on the bad wording) So that as whoever warns is not a traitor, the ban is opened for any type of disqualification, mockery and disrespect.

The last and in its line, was the supposed joke towards the presenter Jorge Javier Vazquez whom they defined as a "good presenter". The origin of the chascarrillo were the rumors about a possible candidacy of Oprah Winfrey to the presidency of the United States. With this excuse they went out to ask the staff about which television presenter could be a good bet to the presidency of Spain. The candidates: Maria Teresa Campos, Susanna Griso, Ana Rosa Quintana and Mariló Montero. Once the video of the street responses has been made and the corresponding irrelevant comments made about all of them, homophobic grace arrives: José Antonio Fuster proposes his "Perfect candidate" and defines it as "The best, magnificent presenter, intelligent, enlightened, a great, great colleague ... .. Jorge Javier Vázquez". Bravo for the cheap, cheap and faltón humor. Regrettable.

And no, we will not fall into the easy argument that to describe Jorge Javier as a woman is to insult her, the problem is to confuse gender with sexual option, the problem is to use that fact to disqualify, mock and disrespect a professional. The problem is that it does not help us to legislate against homophobia if certain media and supposed journalists pass any kind of rule because they do not report them, because nobody puts them in their place, because nobody acts against them. It does not matter if your name is José Antonio Fuster or Luís de ValHow long will it continue to go free in this country to insult or mock LGTBI people? UNTIL WE SAID ENOUGH.
