God loves the Gais!

It is not always necessary to go out into the streets to fight against homophobia, sometimes imagination and sense of humor they are much more effective and can have a greater impact.

Although it is likely that radicals in the Westboro Baptist Church, do not really like the initiative that a group of LGTBI activists in the United States has put in place: to face a great deal of hoarding what the motto looks like "God loves the gays". They have earned it by heart with the repeated statements against homosexuals who say from that Church.

The cost, of 50.000 $, has been financed through Crowdfunding and that figure has already been exceeded. Given that the collection is scheduled until the next 8 in October, it has been thought to finance billboards in other cities.

Homophobia with name, surnames and no shame

Editorial.  A famous chain of hamburgers hung the framed photo of a worker in public view with the legend "Employee of the month". Well, the statements of the past 14 of August of the Senator of the Popular Party for Ceuta, Luz Elena Sanín, are like to frame it because it has earned the title of "Homophobe of the month".

In a press conference where he praised the economic management of the PP, justified the increase in public debt, which incidentally has exceeded one trillion euros, for the subsidies Zapatero gave in his day to NGOs and especially to associations of gays and lesbians.

How reassuring to finally know the origin of the economic crisis that we are all suffering! Well, not all of them, because Mrs. Sanín in her income statement when acquiring the status of Senator declared the ownership of 2 homes and a premises in Ceuta, another 3 homes in Chiclana, Marbella and Medellín and 3 high-end vehicles, and we are talking about the year 2011. All this without counting that this lady enters an annual minimum of 39.394,74 €, which is the salary we pay to everyone, to open our mouths and insult us with nonsense like this one.

It is not enough that the Provincial Directorate of the PP in Ceuta has been unmarked of these statements, the Government party should withdraw its endorsement immediately, demand the delivery of the act of Senator and publicly respond to clearly discriminatory statements that border the unconstitutionality .

Sclaves of the cult to the body

 For centuries the canons of male beauty have remained unchanged. He femenine body, on the contrary, has metamorphosed according to the prevailing taste of the moment. Nowadays, all men and women, we submit to the yoke of a supposed physical perfection that not only denies the peculiarity of each one, but also the inevitable passage of time.

As a society and as a culture, we live immersed in the so-called cult of the body. But to what body? What age, what measures, what proportions should that ideal body have? Gyms, cosmetics manufacturers, the food industry, surgeons and fashion designers are the new priests of that cult. And the body, like any other idol, requires sacrifices, demands victims.

The percentage of gais who suffer from EDD (eating disorders) is higher, in the case of boys, than heterosexuals. The fashion of low weight on the one hand and hypermusculation on the other cause real havoc. In the case of lesbians, the least demand with respect to a body model, has served until today as protection, but among the youngest, this trend is being reversed. Anorexia, vigorexia and bulimia, among other pathologies, are serious diseases and can have a fatal outcome.

Let us reclaim what is unrepeatable in each one, dive in search of the essence and do not confuse health with obsession. Because if something is human beings, it is diverse, of race, of stature, of complexion, of age, of gestures, of tendencies, of tastes, of everything! The opposite of diversity is uniformity, a world of repeated and indistinct clones. Also on this topic let's fight, without truce, for diversity.

Male Pregnancy: The Mistake of Nintendo

Bug ("Bug"), is the name that is known in computing to an error or failure in a software system that triggers an undesired result. Well that's what happened to the company Nintendo with the launch of Tomodachi collection: new life, a life simulator in the line of Sims. According to the company, the error allowed two male characters to marry, live as a couple and even raise their own children and they referred to this situation as "The human relationship becomes strange". Once the curls are curled, we must take into account that in the bugs, One Male characters could get pregnant and that in any case there was no possibility of union between two women.

To claim translation problems is clearly to go off on the tangent. To justify the position with the fact that it is a game oriented to the Japanese market, and that in Japan gay marriage is not legal streak in cynicism in the case of a company with the international projection of Nintendo.

The positive aspect of this whole matter is the attempt to rectify the company by publishing on its website: "we apologize for disappointing many people to the do not include same-sex relationships en Tomodachi Life. We are committed that if we create a new release of the Tomodachi series, we will strive to design a game experience that is more inclusive and better represents all players. "

Rectify is wise and many rulers should take an example.

«Please, don't go there»

Original Song

Do not go there (Do not go there) is the name given to the campaign that the Spanish LGBT COLLEGAS Confederation, launched in May of the 2014 with the purpose of alerting tourists and travel agencies about the worst destinations for LGTBI group members. And, sadly, we are not talking about lack of specific services or a legal situation that is not very favorable to the collective. We are talking about countries where you can be imprisoned, stoned, tortured or simply hunted down and abused under the protection of the law.

That is why we thought it appropriate, at this time when you are still preparing bags and thinking about possible destinations, to emphasize the warnings of COLLEAGUES and to collect here the list of countries that recommend not visiting "under any concept".

Please do not go to Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Brunei, Egypt, United Arab Emirates, The Gambia, Ghana, Jordan, India, Iran, Mauritania, Nigeria, Pakistan, Russia, Senegal, Syria, Somalia, Sudan and South Sudan, Uganda, Yemen and Zimbabwe.

So to get rid of the bad taste in our mouths, we will continue humming to KC & The Sunshine Band or Double You, which were made for the colors.
