Are you active or passive?

GAYLES.TV.- We start the week with a piece of news that leaves us without knowing whether to laugh, cry, get indignant or ask like Groucho Marx to "stop the world that I am getting off."

The information comes from Chile, where the family of a student of the Liceo Libertador Bernardo O'Higgins de Iquique has filed a complaint for harassment against the school's director. Apparently this one, knowing of the sexual orientation of the girl who did not hide his homosexuality, pursued her with questions of the type "Are you activepassive ... or are you modern? "

Obviously the girl lived these questions as an absolute lack of respect on the part of who should watch over their integrity and education. The pressure he received from the center's management generated a state of anxiety that led the mother of the harassed to present the complaint through Movil, an association that defends the rights of homosexuals in Chile.

The most pathetic of the case is the reaction that the denounced director had when affirming that he did not remember having used that expression with the girl but recognizing that he had asked about his sexual orientation and that, upon receiving an answer in the sense that it was lesbian, he had forbidden her to dance with other girls or sit with them. Bravo, Mr. Director! We wonder if your feverish mind will have decided to forbid also that boys and girls that you suppose heterosexuals dance among themselves or share a desk. Or perhaps you are preparing a macro survey on the sexual orientation of all students before restructuring the classrooms or planning the end-of-course dance.

Beyond how painful it is to read that an adult who should protect and guide is dedicated to feed their own morbid harassing a teenager, the same question calls attention: are you active or passive? Do we identify with exclusive roles? Is the active and passive term of gay slang applicable to the lesbian world? In fact, does it still make sense in the boys' environment?

Most people are heterosexual, gay, lesbian, trans, or whatever they feel like to be, they would feel more comfortable without labels that define and mark their intimacy and the way they relate to and relate to the environment. That an individual (to call him somehow) as the director of the Lyceum Libertador asks that question, gives us much more information about the topics that need to classify each other than about the very reality of same-sex relationships.
