The calendar comes to an end and traditions are imposed. It is time to take stock of a year, 2022, which will surely be remembered for the Trans Law, monkey pox and the Qatar World Cup. As always there has been violence and LGTBIphobia, many times instigated by the rise of an extreme right that has settled in to stay and shamelessly attacks the LGTBI collective.

The TERFs were protagonists of the year, but the balance fell on the side of Irene Montero, which was firm and did not succumb to the sewers. It has been a victory trans fight, who knew how to group together and not give up until they achieved a hard-fought law. La self determination It was one of the stumbling blocks that divided the government, but it was finally achieved. The recognition of non-binary people was left out, "intragender violence" and some other concessions, but one of the most advanced trans laws in the world was achieved.

THE WORLD OF SHAME

Spain will not support the LGTBI community in QatarQatar imposed its law and we watched with astonishment as Leo Messi (best player in history), lifted the title of world champion with a five that covered the Argentine shirt.

The health authorities, politicians and the media had to be asked to be responsible for not identifying the group LGTBIQ +, and specifically, men who have sex with other men, as a risk group for mon poxo.

LGBT PHOBIA AND THE EXTREME RIGHT

The Cómplices bookstore in Barcelona closes after 30 years accompanying LGTBIQ+ people

Posted on by Gayles.tv

Connie Dagas and Helle Bruun opened the first LGTBIQ+ bookstore in Barcelona when these initials did not yet exist

Partners in crime opened its doors on April 21th 1994 and next December 31 will lower the blind forever. During almost 30 years the local street Cervantes number 4 was the home of readers LGTBIQ + thanks to the complicity of a couple who managed to live their dream. Connie Daggers and Helle Bruun They opened the first gay bookstore in Barcelona. Three decades in which they have been a benchmark for many readers, men and women readers, not only literary. Accomplices for many has been a refuge, a safe place at a time when it was still difficult to come out of the closet.

Both managed to bring some of the authors closer to the Spanish and Catalan public LGTBIQ + universals that had not arrived. For this they also created the Egales editorial, which currently has more than 450 published titles. "In the nineties there were hardly any local writers like Terenci moix o Eduardo Mendicutti out of the closet in his literature. And many general publishers did not want to publish "queer" narrative, assuring that there was not enough public«, recalls Daggers.

«Everything has changed a lot. Before, people would enter looking at the ground, ask questions in a low voice, no one wore a rainbow pin on their lapel. Now the youngest enter without shyness and proudly wear their trans or bisexual bracelets", Explain. They assure that perhaps the political inflection point that opened the hands of the publishers with the authors of the collective and led to the media focus on literature LGTBI it was in 2005 approval of gay marriage.

Pioneers in Barcelona

Among the best-selling books in the store's history, he cites "the long distance runner", from Patricia Nell Warren, the best-selling gay book in the world, but also «Mark's journey", from Oscar Hernandez-Campano; "with pedigree«, author's trilogy Lola Van Guardia (pseudonym of Isabel Franc, either "sissy ethics", from Paco Vidarte.

Despite the increase in hate speech and homophobic attacks in recent years, in their case they say they have not suffered attacks beyond some insulting graffiti shortly after the victory of José María Aznar in 1996. "Sometimes they have also torn a rainbow flag from the front door, but not much“adds the bookseller.

Since they announced its closure months ago, many regulars have stopped by to say goodbye and make one last purchase in a bookstore that has been much more than a bookstore. Luckily, they will continue with the Egales publishing house and they will enjoy a well-deserved retirement.

Thanks helle and connie for being accomplices, for your fight and the defense of culture and LGBTIQ+ rights and much more!

WHO adds transphobia to the list of mental illnesses

Posted on by Gayles.tv

The WHO concludes that transphobia can create paranoia about the deletion of women

The World Health Organization (WHO) has published this Wednesday the new classification of diseases that will lead to the debate in the general assembly of the organization next year. The ICD-12, the name of the classification, adds, as one of its main novelties, the Transphobia to the classification of mental diseases.

It's a psycho-biological fact that people who suffer Transphobia suffer paranoia that make them believe that women can be erased or that the genitals can define everything. For that reason, the WHO will change from 2023 the classification of mental illnesses, in which transphobia will be included.

The decision of the WHO is considered by the associations of those affected to be key to trying to normalize their lives, just as was the depathologization of homosexuality in 1990. This decision avoids giving justifications to those who try to cure or treat the transsexuality, which is an aggression for people with this condition and is a cause of discrimination and violence.

Public therapies against transphobia

In addition, the international organization will recommend to the governments to create therapies to cure transphobia. Some personalities identified with the new diagnosis have already been encouraged to sign up for these therapies.

This is the case of Carmen Calvo, recognized transphobe and TERF by vocation, who will inaugurate the courses by writing a hundred times on the blackboard «the identity of trans people is NOT a whim«. Then he will try to ensure that no woman erases it. Also the far-right association Make yourself heard She has felt questioned and intends to take courses in an orange bus while they tour the territory. They are negotiating with the entire staff of VOX in case they give you a group discount and in negotiations with JKRowling to go on a world tour.

The first reactions arrive. The news has cheered everyone except the mental health associations, who they do not want to be associated with transphobic people under any circumstances.

You made humor in a white way and nothing happened"Yuste explained.

Social Media

On the subject of networks, he assured: «I don't care, because I'm not in them. They have more negative than positive part. It has a lot of positives and it has a lot of negatives, so much so that there are people who commit suicide, go crazy, go into depression... Why will they say«. Furthermore, he added:Before, what will they say was the neighbor, a cousin of yours, a brother-in-law... And it did not reach you because there were no social networks. She lived in a healthier, less polluted way. We are highly contaminated by the opinion of others and heavily mediated"He said.

His words have raised blisters on social networks, where many users have wanted to give their opinion.

Surely 30 years ago he would never have found out, although it seems that he still doesn't find out, why there is humor that offends today and why there is humor that can now be said to 'offend'.

His interpretation received six minutes of standing ovation at the Venice festival and now he starts as a favorite in all the pools of all the competitions.

Before playing the statuette, he will have his chance next January 10, 2023, In the Golden Globes granting the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. The nominations have already been announced and his name is next to those of Austin Butler, Hugh Jackman, Bill Nighy and Jeremy Pope as best leading actors. However, Fraser is clear: he will not be at the gala.

Golden Globes surrounded by controversy

The Golden Globes They have been surrounded by controversy in recent years. In 2021, a report came to light that denounced the unethical practices carried out by the members of the association, accepting bribes in the form of gifts or trips. In addition, he highlighted the little diversity, since that select group only consisted of 86 journalists, mostly white men. The commotion was such that the NCB, in charge of broadcasting the ceremony, decided to cancel his contract. In an attempt to clean up its image, the HFPA opened the door to 21 new members, of whom 6 were African American. This was reason enough for some Hollywood stars decided to decline their invitation to the Golden Globes.

Why won't Brendan Fraser attend the Golden Globes?Brendan Fraser has another compelling reason. It happened in 2003, although the actor did not confess it until fifteen years later, during an interview. According to his version, the one who was president of the Foreign Press Academy Association in Hollywood, Philip Berk, would have abused him at an event. “His left hand reaches out, grabs my buttock, and one of his fingers touches my crotch. And she starts to move it. I felt like a little kid. I felt like I had a ball in my throat. I thought I was going to cry."he counted Fraser.

Brendan Fraser: “I will not participate"

According to his statements, the association tried to cover up the case and convince both of them to sign an agreement in which they accepted that it had all been a joke. Philip Berck. Despite everything, the journalist was not expelled from the HFPA until last year. Then an email was discovered in which he described the movement Black Lives Matter as "a racist hate group”. In addition, he accused the activist and artist Patrisse cullors of being a “trained self-proclaimed Marxist.”

Why the HFPA extension did not throw Berk after the original accusation of Fraser? "I think it was because it was too grosssaid the actor, adding that "for the moment” does not believe in any of the reforms that the HFPA extension has done in the last year. Fraser said he is willing to reconsider his relationship with the HFPA and the Golden Globes if they recognize the seriousness of the fact.

This incident has caused the refusal of Brendan Fraser Golden Globes. "I will not participate. I have more history with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association than I have respect for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. And my mother did not raise a hypocrite. You can call me a lot of things, but not that", assured the convinced actor to the media. Taking into account the controversies that have surrounded the awards, we do not know if his will be the only great absence.

The ceremony will be held on January 10.

Frank Cuesta: "I'm not homophobic" (spoiler: yes it is)

Posted on by Gayles.tv

Frank Cuesta deletes the videos after his homophobic statements «because I don't want my channel to be closed«

Frank Cuesta has been seen in the eye of the hurricane after one of his direct shows on his channel twich in which he spoke about the presence of homosexual characters and plots in series and films, something that for him was «unnatural«.

«Excuse me for telling you, from time to time that an uncle and an aunt is something normal, which is that we are abnormal, we are being abnormal", He said. «It is no longer possible in a fucking movie where a girl says: 'I like a guy'. Well no: 'I like an uncle, an aunt and that tree. I'm going to fuck the tree'. And I refuse, because it is unnatural, they are messing with a fucking corkscrew«, He added.

According to his point of view, this does not affect him at all, but it does affect his children, his grandchildren and his work: «That is the subnormality that exists today, that everything is under pressure, that nothing is natural anymore«. Frank forgets how underrepresented the collective has been for centuries. And we wonder how it affects his children, his grandchildren and his work?

Frank Cuesta considers that his words have been manipulated

The reactions and accusations of homophobia were not long in coming and the networks erupted in criticism of the presenter. Far from correcting Frank Cuesta He accuses those who label him as homophobes of being manipulative: «What manipulators you are and above all, what damage are you doing. You want to label me as homophobe, xenophobe, fatphobe, misogynist and I don't know how many other things…perfect! But the damage you are doing to this society is brutal.«.

Now, the presenter has explained that what he meant is that what he considers an overrepresentation of the theme LGTBI It is unnatural, not that homosexuality is, the opposite, he says, is a misinterpretation and manipulation of his words.

In another of his live shows, after the controversy, he added: «I am foul-mouthed, the ways are not the best, but you also know that I don't even hide and that I can't stand asshole..."He said in a fiery tone. For him, the images «they have been taken out of context, bits of video have been cut«, he claimed. Some videos, by the way, that he has deleted from his social networks. «I have deleted the videos because I don't want the channel to be closed", he assured. Why would they close the channel if his words were not homophobic?

Behaviors in the animal world

«Since we men are all abusers, we are sons of bitches and the thing about an uncle and an aunt is like: 'poof, it's just imposed'. But what tax, moron? But go to nature!«, points out the herpetologist in this regard.

He bases his argument on the comparison with certain behaviors in the animal world. «What is the rooster looking for, another rooster or a fucking chicken? What is the deer looking for, another doe or another fucking deer to give it up the ass? What's happening? That we see dogs in cities fucking each other. Of course, because they don't have bitches and what they find is a hole... Hey, in war any hole is a trench«.

We strongly recommend that Frank Cuesta follow GAYLES.TV where you will find a multitude of examples in the animal world that will make you think. Perhaps his closeness to VOX and the extreme right is seriously affecting him.

Finally, the PSOE has decided to renounce modifying gender self-determination when the trans law is processed in Congress the next day December 22 after losing his battle with United We can.

LGTBIQ+ groups from 18 Spanish cities demonstrated against the PSOE amendments to the trans law and its blockade

Madrid and 17 other Spanish cities have taken to the streets this Saturday to demand the immediate implementation of the Trans Law and they have asked that the PSOE remove the amendments submitted to the rule and stop blocking it. With these acts, trans organizations and LGTBIQ + they demand that «the human rights for trans people included in the State Trans and LGTBI Law and, especially, that the right to self-determination of sex be guaranteed in the civil registry for trans people under 16 years of age accompanied by their parents«.

Convened by more than 50 entities such as the FELGTBI+, Chrysallis or the Trans Platform Federation, the protesters have demanded “protección"And"more rights” for the groups involved through chants such as “trans law already” and have reproached attitudes to some personalities of the PSOE, as the deputy Carmen Calvo.

They have also carried banners with slogans such as “rights are not deferred" or "trans law defends itself”, in a protest presided over by a banner with the text “Trans law: human rights, no cuts, for everyone” and a huge flag of the group behind the head.

PSOE amendments

The main object of criticism in these demonstrations has been the amendments that the PSOE presented to the norm, which is in the phase of analysis by the presentation of the Equality Commission. They have especially lamented the demand of the Socialists that a judge authorize the change of sex in the registry to the under 16 years.

"It is a very dangerous thing. The fact that the extreme right or the right has systematically opposed the advance of rights is something we were used to, but what makes it highly dangerous is that this comes from the PSOE”, has summarized in statements Mar Cambrollé, president of the Trans Platform Federation. In his opinion, the socialists' amendment is “unconstitutional" because the Constitutional Court "already pronounced” in this regard in a 2019 ruling, which states that minors “have the right to rectify the change of name and gender in their DNI ”.

Know the reality of trans minors

The LGTBIQ+ collective demonstrates against the PSOE amendments to the trans lawFor her part, the President of Chrysallis, Ana Valenzuela, has insisted that the “real risks” for trans minors arise “when your documentation does not match your identity". "Those who talk about risks and protection for trans minors do not live with them, do not know their realities”, he has defended.

In the same line, Uge Sangil, president of FELGTBI+, has affirmed that the reason for the march is that the rights of trans people and minors “are at risk" by "an amendment that gives back” for those people who have not reached the age of majority. For this reason, it demands that the project of law integrates both migrants and non-binary people.

Sangil has argued that the “internal balances"and the posture of the people"TERF” -the side of feminism contrary to the inclusion of trans people in the movement- within the party are the reasons why the socialist group has imposed the amendments. “thing we don't understand”, he continued, “because the bill is a legitimate proposal, it has legal certainty and it would not take away rights".

rights cuts

The activist Carla Antonelli, former deputy of the PSOE and the first trans parliamentarian in the history of Congress, has stressed the importance of “raise the voices"And"say no"to what you consider"rights cuts” of the people in the collective and, like his colleagues, he has insisted that the PSOE must “reconsider” y "withdraw” some amendments that, he said, aim to “curtail” the fundamental rights of trans people. “When we look back a few years from now we will feel ashamed”, has predicted.

LGTBI people must inform the SEPE about their sexual condition to seek employment as a priority group

The employment law, which is currently being processed in the Congress, will recognize the collective LGTBI as vulnerable and will guarantee, therefore, "priority attention” in the State Public Employment Service (SEPE) as long as the people belonging to it prove their sexual orientation -or gender identity, in the case of trans people- through an affidavit. This is confirmed by sources Ministry of Labor, which explain that this statement will be provided only "freely and voluntarily and that SEPE he will not ask for it on his own initiative.

The truth is that SEPE would find it very difficult to prioritize a candidate LGTBI, because proving the sexual orientation and identity of each person would be as complex as it would be intrusive in the private life of job seekers.

"The law is not finished yet"

According to the same government sources, the employees of the SEPE they cannot ask users about their sexual orientation. So how can people show LGTBI + that are part of this group and, therefore, be considered part of the priority attention groups?

According to Ministry of Labor, it must be the users themselves who, “voluntarily", notify SEPE. And how can they prove it? From the Government they point out that, for the moment, the law that is being processed is “very generic» and that the way to test it could depend on “of the autonomous communities" or even "of each specific case".

The new standard also expands the groups that can benefit from priority actions. Among them will be migrants, beneficiaries of international protection, women victims of gender violence, people in a situation of social exclusion, people who have abandoned employment services, people over 45 years of age and those who belong to the group LGTBI.

Reaction of the FELGTBI+ and UGT

The SEPE will give priority to LGTBI people in the search for employment

The president of the State Federation of Lesbians, Gays, Trans, Bisexuals, Intersexuals and more (FELGTBI+), Uge Sangil, considers it necessary to make public policies in favor of the employability of any group that has difficulties in this area, “something that happens with the collective LGTBI and, above all, with the trans people".

“We understand that the Law is being prepared and that it can be improved in terms of how it can be implemented. And if a direct policy cannot be made, because it is not possible to identify our group, we must think of indirect measures ", has defended the president of the FELGTBI+, who insists that “there needs to be employability policies for the LGTBI collective, especially for trans people. The data is what it indicates. Now, let's find out how to approach it.".

El Head of the LGBTI-UGT Catalunya Group Santos Félix has remarked that in UGT “We support the Trans and LGBTI Law, we also claim that the new labor regulations, people in the group who, due to their personal circumstances (lack of training, age...) are at risk of being excluded from the labor market, can access, as is the case with other groups social, to the active employment policies that the public employment services of the different Autonomous Communities carry out. Therefore it is essential that any part of the State has guaranteed this service provided by the administration. Without having to communicate any personal data, specify your orientation and gender identity..
