The defendant, according to the court ruling, was pursuing "the social stigmatization of the homosexual and transsexual collective", which constitutes a hate crime and which is materialized in the set of expressions «humiliating and demeaning» for the collective LGTBI, who cannot find protection in the lawful exercise of freedom of expression included in the Constitution.

It also argues that the comments made by the defendant had the effect of perpetuating the situation of exclusion of a minority that, "in a democratic society, must be fully accepted» and for which «The legislator has chosen to establish a criminal mechanism for qualified protection against, precisely, this type of behavior that tends to distance such groups from full social acceptance«.

Posted on by Gayles.tv

More than 120.000 protesters have paraded in the LGTBIQ+ Pride march in Barcelona bunder the motto «The Pride of our lives. Having a birthday, accompanying us, is growing»

A total of 62 groups have registered and some 51 floats have paraded on July 15 on Paral·lel avenue in Barcelona to claim the rights of the LGTBIQ+ collective. More than 120.000 people (110.000 according to the Urban Police) of all ages today demonstrated the Generational transversality and diversity in the LGTBIQ+ collective, an edition of Pride!Barcelona dedicated to LGBTIQ+ older people under the motto The Pride of our lives. Having a birthday, accompanying us, is growing.

The demonstration began at 18:00 p.m. and at 20:15 p.m. the Manifesto was read, with the participation of the Catalan actor Enric Majó and the activists Paulina Blanco y Patricia Knight.

Enric Majó, one of the most beloved actors, co-founder of the FAGC and collaborator of the Fundació Enllaç, has expressed in the manifesto:

 “We want to highlight all the LGBTIQ+ people who, since the 80s, have fought for the rights that now, after more than 40 years, our society enjoys. People who were criminalized and imprisoned by Franco's laws, some even died, for defending rights and freedoms. They are part of our history and are our memory. Memory that should help us not to return to the dark era in black and white... and many greys. As you know, we like colours, and the more the better”

Now,Pauline White, activist for the rights of LGBTI older people and patron of the Enllaç Foundation has claimed the need to implement the "Practical guide to incorporate the LGBTI+ perspective in residences and other centers and resources for the elderly" published by the Department of Equality and Feminisms of the Generalitat de Catalunya. She also added:

“We ask the public powers to take the appropriate measures in the public space so that the greater fragility of the elderly does not prevent them from developing a full life safely. We must ensure that all people, regardless of their sexual attraction, gender identity or gender expression, can enjoy safe spaces and not have to go back to the closet in the last stage of their lives.”

Finally, Patricia Knight Bergadan activist and community communicator, has finished the manifesto:

"Being and feeling older is a source of pride. And more if we do it accompanied by you. As the motto of that year says, the pride of our lives. Doing years, accompanying us, is growing. Grow in years, but also in values, dignity, solidarity and empathy. And since we have memory, we are not going to allow a single step back in our rights. For democratic decency and because older LGBTIQ+ people are unstoppable!! "

THE SOCIAL CAMPAIGN, LIVING FULLY FOR ALL AGES

This year's edition wants to place the focus on people and their vital process, and underline the need to promote empathy and solidarity in each of the stages that it provides LGTBIQ+ people with full rights and free of stereotypes and prejudices. .

 "Older people have many things to say, we must not allow ourselves to be cornered, nor corner ourselves" declared the writer and activist Jordi Petit, in the proclamation of last Thursday the 13th in the Plaza Universitat. While Isabel Franc – writer, activist and also a preacher on the 13th-, added “Let's shout again that we are, that we are not afraid. Let's shout again for our rights, we are the strongest collective on earth".

Sentence: The athlete Caster Semenya was discriminated against

The Strasbourg Court rules that the athlete Caster Semenya was discriminated against by the Athletics Federation

El European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg has ruled this Tuesday in favor of the South African athlete Caster Semenya, who denounced having been discriminated against after being denied the International Athletics Federationnow World Athletics, their participation in the female category of some tests to produce a higher than usual testosterone level.

In their sentence, the European judges sentenced Switzerland, which is where the Sports Arbitration Court (TAS), which had rejected the arbitration requested semenia so that he would not be required to undergo hormonal treatment that would reduce his testosterone level below the threshold set by the IAAF as a condition of allowing you to compete. In May 2019, the court had endorsed the IAAF rule that required athletes as semenia, what's wrong with it hyperandrogenism, to take medication to reduce his testosterone level to “preserve the integrity of women's athletics".

The Strasbourg reproach

Now Strasbourg reproaches the swiss justice having washed their hands of it, arguing that its power to examine this case was limited, since the original decision had been made by the TAS, which had applied a federation regulation -a testosterone limit in female tests- that seemed to it “apt, necessary and proportionate” so that there would be sports equity. In that regard, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) stresses that the South African middle-distance runner did not have sufficient institutional and procedural guarantees in Switzerland to assert their arguments of being discriminated against, which were "credible” and they were “well founded".

In fact, ECHR remember that the same TAS He acknowledged his doubts about the regulation that the IAAF which in practice forced him to undergo hormonal treatments with side effects "significant” and that they also did not give him a total guarantee of allowing him to lower testosterone to a sufficient level. In addition, it notes that in recent reports, competent bodies for human rights in the Council of Europe (to which belongs the Strasbourg Court) have placed the accent on their “serious concerns” for the discrimination of women or intersex athletes in sports with regulations like that

justify the differences

Semenya was discriminated againstHe also recalls that he has repeatedly insisted that "differences based solely on sex must be justified by 'very strong considerations', 'compelling reasons' or 'particularly strong and compelling reasons'“. Therefore, the margin of appreciation of public authorities is "restricted“when they seek to apply a difference in treatment on the basis of a person's sexual characteristics.

In short, with Semenia, Switzerland (and consequently the TAS and IAAF) violated the article of the European Convention on Human Rights that prohibits discrimination. Since the athlete had not requested any compensation for material or moral damages, the European judges have not set any compensation, but Switzerland will have to pay her 60.000 euros for legal costs.

World Athletics take note

After the verdict was made public, World Athletics has issued a statement in which it ensures that "take note"of the failure"deeply dividedor”, it says in relation to the particular vote signed by three judges. The federation insists that the rules that determine acceptable testosterone levels in women “are a reasonable and proportionate necessary means to protect fair competition in the women's category".

In addition, it stresses that the process has been followed against Switzerland and not against the federation, although the regulation considered discriminatory by the court is from World Athletics itself. The organization assures that it will contact the Swiss government to encourage it to “request the referral of the case to the Grand Chamber of the ECtHR"for a final decision"due to strong dissenting opinions” and in the meantime it will maintain the current regulations.

Strasbourg is competent

Beyond the merits of the matter, the ruling has consequences for the operation of the Sports justice to the extent that the ECHR makes it very clear that it is competent in matters such as this to ensure respect for the European Convention on Human Rights, and therefore constitutes a means of appeal on what the court may decide. TAS. And this even while acknowledging the advantages of having a centralized system for litigation in the sports field at an international level.

At the origin of this case is the refusal of semenia to submit to the regulations of the federation that forced him to undergo hormonal treatment to lower his testosterone level, a rule that does not apply to men.

The decision occurs in the midst of an international debate over the regulations of the federations on the testosterone level that allow them to compete as women, rules specifically designed to limit the participation of trans women in competitions but which also affects others such as semenia. In fact, this year the international athletics federation, World Athletics, agreed to ban trans athletes beginning their transition after puberty from participating in international competitions.

International Pride Day is marked by the rise of the right that puts LGTBIQ+ rights in check

Troubled times are coming. Who has ever put the body to defend the rights LGTBIQ + he smells it, he knows it. 28J. We are celebrating and we are claiming; is not incompatible. Because if something unites the collective it is the firecracker attitude, the party, the glitter and feeling like a minority. Knowing that you are threatened These last days they have been in charge of leaving little crumbs so that the most alert can join the dots.

As soon as a tiny headline in a local newspaper that publishes the attack, threatens to kill the Trans Law, some insults in the institute, I veto the Minister of Equality, an inspector censoring the breasts of Rocio Saiz en Murcia, some flags hanging in naquera, the Valencian courts led by an ultra-Catholic anti-abortionist who denies gender-based violence, posters that throw away our flag, small glimpses of what will arrive like a tsunami shortly.

An uncomplexed right

The extreme right does not hide. The right dances the water. And the people who voted for them are responsible for what happens to us. Of the rights that we will lose if the right and extreme right win, rights that cost so much to conquer. They mock our fear and outrage because we give them even more visibility. They expand exponentially and the more brutal the attack, the more revenue they get.

The media have campaigned on them, giving them a voice, buying their frame of mind. Populism is winning the game. According to the latest survey of CIS about post-pandemic social and affective relationships, 9% of the Spanish population feels part of the collective LGTBIQ +. Around three million people with the right to vote. Defending LGTBIQ+ rights, women's rights, the rights of immigrants, is defending human rights and shows the values ​​of a society.

This 28J go out to defend pride, have fun and vindicate. But don't forget to do the same 23J.

The Police stop a concert by Rocío Saiz at the Pride of Murcia for showing her breasts

Censorship at a concert Rocio Saiz during the festivities of LGTBI pride in Murcia. While the former singer of Las Chillers performed a version of her, she took off her shirt and launched herself into her audience from the stage. A scene that she repeats in almost all of her performances and in which she claims the visibility of the female body and the LGTBIQ + flag. In Murica, she was forced to stop the show: «The police have stopped the concert. They wouldn't let me continue if I didn't get dressed. Either I put on my shirt or I was handcuffed«, He has denounced in his account Twitter.

A person from the organization ended up surrounding Size with a flag LGTBIQ + to cover it completely. Size He has assured on his social networks that whenever he sings that song he shows his chest, and that he has been doing so for ten years. “The poor girl from the organization was super overwhelmed because the policemen were harassing her all the time", Explain Size. The organizers also let him know that this was his show and that if he decided not to continue, they understood him and supported him politically.

book duress

After dressing and going downstairs the Police He immediately asked for the documentation, while the organizers and the public stood in the middle. “There was not one policeman, but five”, he specified. When the singer, together with two companions, went to the entrance of her dressing room to pick up her things, other police officers prevented her from doing so "If he didn't talk to the inspector. Book coercion. I have refused, obviously”, he wrote in Twitter.

«The 'inspector' has come to look for me in the street to handcuff me, telling me that I had broken I don't know how many laws. And I asked him: 'If I were a man, would you be denouncing me?' And he has answered me emphatically: 'No'", has criticized Sainz, lamenting that the policeman told him directly that if a man did the same it would not be illegal.

"This is what you voted for"

The inspector "I was somewhat alienated. He told me that I probably didn't know what work was, but that he was doing his job.”, says the singer. The policeman explained that a law prohibited taking off her shirt and that she was disturbing public order. “He told me to apologize or he would take me in handcuffs.", He says Size, "but I also refused. I was obsessed with submitting myself”. Thus, he received a complaint for disturbance of public order, contempt for authority and exhibitionism. What bothers you the most Size It is that if it had been a man who had taken off his shirt, nothing would have happened: “That apparently is not prohibited by law.”, she complains, visibly outraged.

Thus, according to the singer, the agents took their data. «I'll take a complaint. Furthermore, the policeman told me: 'This is what you voted for'. And he's right, the problem isn't him. It's what you voted for", has criticized Rocio Saiz.

For their part, the public present there and many people in networks have shown their support for the artist, such as Sergio Ramos Ruiz, exedile of City of Murcia who attended the concertThe highly questionable regulations on public scandal can never operate in an artistic show", he has defended.

La Association of Women in the Music Industry (MIM) has issued a statement on social networks where they regret the incident. “As Rigoberta Bandini says, it seems that our breasts scare them or we are the ones who scare them and that is why we have to reduce ourselves, shut up, stop and intimidate us, in short, stop ourselves, deprive ourselves of our rights and our freedoms”. From MIM they denounce the repressive action against Saiz: “We cannot tolerate this involution, and neither women nor the LGTBIQ+ collective can or should live the signaling, the restriction of their freedoms and the fear of being who they are.".

The measure not only affects new registrations, but is carried out retroactive, since it affects the registration of children of lesbian couples from the year 2017. The court must decide next November if the children lose one of the parents for legal purposes.

Some of the children are already quite old and one of the mothers will lose all legal rights to them. For example, in one of the cases of a six-year-old girl, who has already gone through nursery school normally, if the court decides to accept the Prosecutor's appeal, one of the mothers will need a sworn authorization to pick her up from school, You will not be able to sign a permit for the girl to go on a school excursion or a form to get vaccinated and you will not be able to travel alone with her, among many other things. The children will also lose the legal recognition of their brothers, uncles, cousins ​​and grandparents by said mother.

These are children of couples with two mothers, registered since 2017 to date by the mayor of the city, Sergio Giordaniof the center-left coalition. Babies were recognized in their day in Italy as children of both mothers after being conceived abroad with heterologous assisted fertilization, which is performed with male gametes from a donor.

May spread to other regions

The resolution adopted in Padua It can be extended to other locations in the country. In Italy, the power to register births and registrations is in the hands of the municipalities, so the mayors are in charge of carrying out the registration. The mayor of Padua, like many others in Italy, has registered the children of same-sex couples, although there is a legal vacuum in the country on how to register these births.

«I am calm and convinced of the decisions made. Since 2017 I register the birth certificates of girls and boys sons of two mothers. It is an act of responsibility towards the little ones because I do not accept that they are discriminated"said the councilor of Padova, Sergio Giordani, to Italian media.

legal wrong

Padua takes the first step to ban children from having two mothers in ItalyEn Italy there is legal gibberish in relation to the registration of minor children of same-sex couples. In 2016, with a progressive government, Parliament approved a law on civil unions that marked a milestone in the fight for rlegal recognition of homosexual families. However, the law contains restrictive measures on adoption and on the registration of children from same-sex families.

Over the past few years, mayors and courts have accepted the registration of both parents to protect minors. However, since the arrival of the Italian and Meloni brothers to the Government, the measures have been activated against the LGTBI collective.

«There is a very serious legal vacuum that Parliament should legislate. Until now, it has not done so, although many fellow mayors from different parties have requested it. I ask the political forces to put aside the ideological battle and think of children", the councilor of Padova, Sergio Giordani.

After knowing the communication of the Prosecution, the minister of parliamentary relations, Luca CirianiHe told a radio station that "in Italy, marriage is only between a man and a woman and therefore only the biological parent is the parent whose last name can be registered«.

Emotional and bureaucratic effects

The resolution has both emotional and bureaucratic effects. On the one hand, it eliminates the last name of the second parent, so even siblings would have different last names. And on the other, it strips the non-pregnant mother and the rest of her family of rights.

Actions as daily as picking up the children from school, deciding on medical treatments or staying with the children in the event of the death of the surrogate parent will be impossible if the measure is finally carried out. The option left to these families is to adopt their own children, a process that is long and tortuous.

The letter from the Prosecutor's Office now has to go through a court, which will be in charge of reviewing the case and ordering the measure. The first family that received the letter has a date of presentation in a civil court the next day November 11th.

This is a couple in their 40s who got married outside the country and in 2017 registered a daughter together who is about to turn six. These women already had another child by one of them and the brothers share last names. The Prosecutor's decision assumes that only the biological mother will be considered as such and that the minor must change her second surname.

«It is not just about repercussions on social life, but repercussions on one's own identity, a fundamental right until proven otherwise. A personal trauma in a delicate phase of development, due to the fact of no longer having a brother and a mother“, one of the parents has declared to Italian media.

"The important thing is that the family stays together.” on the basis of marriage.

Munilla against the flag LGTBIQ +

What started as a plea for the family turned into one against the movement LGTBIQ +. "This month of June is consecrated to the heart of Jesus, but in recent years this month of June is intended to become the month of pride LGTBIQ +”, has assured in Radio Maria. she has regretted Munilla that "many public institutions put up these flags as if they represented this movement". "It turns out that the European institutions change the flags of the nations for the flag LGTBIQ +, in the White House, in the Capitol and even the embassy of U.S. in the Vatican”, he assured.

This critique has focused on the American case. Munilla referred to a tweet by the US president Joe Biden, in which he celebrated with a rainbow flag in the Casa Blanca to be "a proud country”. The bishop welcomed the response that the representative of the Catholic Church in Texas who assured him thatremember that pride comes before the fall". "Taking pride in pride is highly unwise”, has assured Munilla.

disfigured rainbow

Bishop Munilla against the LGTBIQ+ collectiveIt is then that the Bishop of Orihuela-Alicante defends that “the rainbow has been completely disfigured". "We have to go to Genesis to discover that the rainbow is the image of the alliance”, he has defended. “Now it goes from being a sign of the alliance with God to a symbol of pride in which the being separates from God”, he lamented. “It is a symbol of detachment, the prevalence of desire over the law of God, the natural law.", has added.

The rainbow, he continued, is "a kind of Tower of Babel that rises defiantly”. However, he has defended that it fell "because what is built on the mud does not have consistency". "This also has feet of clay, gender ideology, ideology LGTBIQ +”, he has defended. “It is built against the very being of man, of nature, against reality”, he insisted. “Forcing reality only leads to unhappiness”, has settled.

Munilla: a very controversial ultra bishop

His resume of grotesque statements dates back to 2018. In statements in Radio Maria, Munilla He assured that there are two feminisms: «the feminine«, which seeks the juridical and legal equality of men and women, and one «radical or gender» who wants to equate the two sexes in all aspects. This second one has like «victim the woman herself and the true feminine cause«. And she finished it off: «It's funny how the devil can score a goal from the same ranks. Feminism, having assumed gender ideology, has become a kind of harakiri", he came to say. According to Munilla, feminism defends causes such as «lesbianism and bisexualism" Y "free and free abortion«, which has meant a «female genocide» in many parts of the world where it is used so that women are not born.

Su LGBTophobia It was also evident in 2021 when he qualified the homosexuality as a neurosis.

En Donostia they wanted to get rid of it. During his bishopric he highlighted his ultras ideas attacking homosexuals, went so far as to affirm that they have to suffer a «process to heal the disease they suffer«. Of the the Basque Country He went out the back door. in november 2009, 75% of priests de Gipuzkoa positioned against his appointment as the new bishop, but he was then appointed by the ultra-conservative roco varela.

Human Rights Campaign declares a state of emergency in the US

Posted on by Gayles.tv

Due to the increase in anti-LGBTQ+ laws approved in different parliaments of the country, the Human Rights Campaign declares a state of national emergency

For the first time in its 40-year history, Human Rights Campaign (Campaign for Human Rights), the largest organization in United Kingdoms dedicated to defending the rights LGTBIQ +, has sounded all the alarms and has declared the state of emergency in the North American country.

The reason, the increasedangerous and unprecedented" of the legislation against this group in various states of the country. Since the beginning of the year and until the beginning of this month of July, the organization has counted the presentation of more than 525 anti LGTBIQ+ legal projects in the state chambers of representation, more than double of those who had filed in all of 2022.

They denounce that more than 70 of these have already become laws that have entered into force, and that of the total number of regulations under debate, more than 220 are specifically targeted against the trans community.

In a report entitled "LGTBIQ + Americans under attack, claim that this new and massive batch of discriminatory laws are the result of a coordinated effort of the Republican Party.

But they point out that the Conservative Party is supported by "well-funded extremist groups" as the Alliance Defending Freedom, the Heritage Foundation or the Family Policy Alliance, ultra-Catholic organizations that finance campaigns and policies contrary to sexual and reproductive and collective rights LGTBIQ +.

Persecute the collective through new laws

Human Rights Campaign declares a state of emergency in the USThe organization draws special attention to what is happening in states like Texas, Tennessee or Florida, where teachers are being prohibited from talking about issues related to social rights, the rights of the black population, or LGTBIQ + or sexual and reproductive health.

They reproach that together with these policies defended by the ultraconservatives As a way to protect minors, these states "do nothing to keep them safe from gun violence“, a trickle of murders that have been taking place across the country for decades.

The ultra-conservative outpost has gone to extremes such as ban books textbooks, or books by well-known authors from schools and bookstores.

Also to criminalize and dismiss teachers for having used a movie of Disney in which a gay character appears or have introduced debates or subjects in class that parents consider «ideological«. The complaint of a single parent serves to open an investigation and even a file on a teacher.

One of the states that is implementing some of the toughest policies is Floridawhere the governor Ron De Santis has implemented laws and policies against the migrant, black, LGTBIQ + and against women's rights, especially everything related to sexual and reproductive rights and access to abortion.

In recent weeks, many people have decided leave the state for fear of persecution for being migrants, LGTBIQ + or black. Some families with trans children They have decided to leave their homes in these states for fear that their children will be attacked or killed and because of the growing discrimination against this group.

Withdrawal of parental authority for having transgender children

Human Rights Campaign declares a state of emergency in the USLa Casa Blanca has shown its concern about this ultra-conservative outpost in some States such as that of Florida. In a recent appearance, the Government has denounced that in that state, and in just one day, 20 laws were presented against the rights of the population LGTBIQ +.

He also criticized the criminalization campaign in that state towards parents when they seek help for their children from this group. Among the rules under debate in FloridaFor example, there is one that would allow the authorities to take custody of parents of trans minors.

DeSantis, one of the most conservative governors, has launched into the Republican primary for next year's presidential election.

Harassment and boycott of companies that defend rights LGTBIQ +

Defend the rights of the community LGTBIQ + it is becoming a high-risk activity for some American companies. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis turned the spigot on with his harassment of Disney, but conservative groups have targeted numerous companies with harassment and boycott threats over their inclusive policies or messaging.

An offensive is beating against the principles of sustainable investment -environmental, social and corporate governance criteria-, which some conservatives attack as a progressive imposition. Many companies, despite everything, remain proud of their support.

Before, the concern of some companies was that their support for the community LGTBIQ + was perceived as inauthentic. to be accused of pinkwashing. Now, the fear is to be the object of a campaign of harassment and boycott. Anti-LGTBI activists do not hide their intentions: “The goal is to turn pride into something toxic for brands. If you decide to hold this garbage against us, you must know that you will pay a price. It won't be worth what they think they're going to win. let's move on”, pointed out the author, activist and conservative commentator Matt Walsh, with 2,1 million followers in Twitter.
