He has acknowledged that he hid it in his active sporting life for fear of uncontrollable consequences. «Nobody knew how they were going to react, from protests and insults from fans to the withdrawal of sponsors.», he remembers his calculations, «but today it should be very different».

Urban launched a few months ago 'Sports Free', an initiative designed to support athletes who want to come out of the closet. And now he has managed to get the attention of the Bundesliga by announcing that Several footballers will make their condition public on May 17, the International Day against Homophobia. «There are more gay footballers than we thought» explains Urban in the campaign video, in which he promises surprises and liberation.

"Sports Free is a great initiative that VfB Stuttgart is delighted to support», greeted the president Alexander Wehrle in statements to Tagesspiegel, in which he has recognized a five-figure donation to the project, «VfB represents a value proposition with respect, tolerance and appreciation and this proposition further destigmatizes the issue and is a great step in the process of establishing normality».

And there was no one to say: come on, let's finish this».

Now, however, he recognizes that "I was surprised by the amount there is. And they are interconnected with each other. Some people are exchanging ideas, which was not even the case ten or fifteen years ago. But they meet in secret, in hidden places where you can't find them. They are undergoing psychological treatment. Some are at the limit of their strength, they can't take it anymore. And the clubs don't know anything about it».

78% of LGTBI people suffer discrimination at work

According to a study carried out by UGT, 40% of LGTBI people hide their orientation at work to avoid being discriminated against

Un 78% of lesbian, gay, trans, bisexual and intersex (LGTBI) people have suffered some type of vviolence at work or with a 40% have hidden their orientation to avoid it, according to the latest data from the permanent survey carried out since last year by UGT «to give visibility to normalized violence against this group in the workplace«.

This was stated this Tuesday by the confederal coordinator of the LGTBI Area of ​​UGT, Toño Abad, in a technical day organized by the union in Santander, in collaboration with the Government of Cantabria through the Cantabrian Employment Service (EMCAN), for the training of more than fifty delegates in the defense of the rights of this group, which will extend throughout the country, first to union representatives and then to workers and company management teams.

Abbot has indicated that the survey that the union has been carrying out among people LGTBI reaffirms a situation «worrying» in the workplace, which is «homogeneous» in all the territories of Spain because it occurs in «similar terms» both in Cantabria and in any other autonomous community.

Transphobia at work

The coordinator has also referred to the results of the survey on trans people, which in 40% of cases say they have been expelled from the labor market due to their gender identity and 15% directly in job interviews. As he explained, these situations of violence have a "direct consequence" in the loss of rights, such as accompanying a spouse to medical visits or marriage permission.

For his part, the secretary general of UGT in Cantabria, Mariano Carmona, who participated in the opening ceremony of the meeting, highlighted this training, aimed at delegates and members of works councils, who are «those in charge of defending the rights of LGTBI workers«. Carmona has highlighted that UGT is being an organization «pioneer» in the study of the situation of LGTBI people in the labor market and in demanding measures to end «once and for all» with any type of discrimination against this group.

As indicated, these measures will affect almost three million workers in the group. LGTBI that exists in Spain today and will begin with awareness-raising, sensitization and training actions on the situation. In addition, UGT has already proposed to the social dialogue measures to modify the sanctioning regimes and protocols against discriminatory harassment of the LGTBI collective, which needs «additional support measures«.

Who do LGTBI people vote for?

This is how LGTBI people vote: 60% would support PSOE, Sumar and Podemos in the European elections and 30% would support PP and Vox

If the European elections next June were held today and only the collective voted LGTBI, victory would be clear for the center-left bloc: of the 61 seats that correspond to Spain in the European Parliamentor, most would take them PSOE, Sumar and Podemos (24, 11 and 4 respectively) while at PP 14 and three would end up Vox. The coalition would have the same number of MEPs Now Republics and two others together, according to the survey carried out by 40dB for LGTBI State Federation (FELGTBI+) presented this Wednesday.

It is the translation into seats of the estimated votes, which would give the absolute majority to the center and left-wing positions. Thus, the party of Pedro Sánchez would obtain 35% of the support, followed by the PP (21,8%) and Sumar (17,5%). Behind would be Podemos, for whom 6,2% of the LGTBI electorate would vote, and hot on its heels would be Vox, for which 5,4% would support. The interviews were carried out online between February 23 and March 13.

This is the second time it has been studied in Spain Who does the group vote for? LGTBI, of which, according to the CIS, it is estimated that it is part of between 7 and 8% of the population. There are between 1,7 and 2 million valid votes. However, it is not clear that everyone will cast their ballot at the polls on June 9: research shows that not even four out of ten LGTBI people (36,8%) are 100% sure that they will vote if they vote.

Absolute majority PSOE-Sumar

The collective LGTBI is mobilized, but less than the general population. The survey, which also asks what would happen if there were general elections tomorrow in Spain, reveals that only 41,3% of LGTBI voters are completely convinced that they would go to vote, while among the rest of the people the figure rises to 57,2%, according to the barometer carried out by 40dB for El País last year. March, with which the survey compares results.

In those hypothetical elections, if they only depended on the choice of the people LGTBI, the current Government coalition, PSOE and Sumar, would far exceed the absolute majority by reaching 221 seats. The match of Alberto Núñez-Feijóo and the extreme right (with 88 and 11 seats respectively) would not reach a hundred deputies. The most voted force would be the PSOE, with 34% of support, 3,3 points below what the general population would give it. And this would give victory to the PP, with 35,2% of support while, among LGTBI people, 22,1% would vote for the conservative party.

The differences are also palpable between the rest of the parties: almost one in four people in the group would vote for Sumar (23,1%) and 11,1% of the general population. Vox reports 7,2% of LGTBI people, which in the case of the general population rises to 10,6%.

More left-wing

Who do LGTBI people vote for?The survey, which was carried out on 800 Spaniards of legal age, shows that people LGTBI are mostly left-wing. 45,3% of those surveyed placed themselves between 0 and 4, with 0 being the extreme left, compared to 25,9% who did so in the opposite direction, on the right. 17,3% responded by placing themselves in the center of the table. The study reflects that there is no significant difference between the group and the general population when it comes to defining themselves ideologically, but one characteristic distinguishes them: beyond their ideology, LGTBI people vote more for left-wing parties.

In fact, the report reveals that 31,7% of ideologically right-wing LGTBI voters supported the PSOE or Sumar in the last general elections on July 23 in “a clear electoral anomaly,” as described by the FELGTB. Thus, when asked who they voted for in the elections, 25,5% of right-wing LGTBI people chose the socialists and 6,11% chose Sumar, which means that 8,2% of LGTBI voters are from right but they vote for the formations of Pedro Sánchez and Yolanda Díaz, close to 150.000 votes. Among those who consider themselves left-wing, almost half (48,65) supported the PSOE and 36,1% supported Sumar.

Vote to protect LGTBI rights

For the Secretary of Organization of the LGTBI+ State Federation, Ignacio Paredero, the explanation for this transfer of votes from people ideologically located on the right who end up supporting leftist forces is that “quite possibly"whatever they are doing"is to protect your rights" before the anti-LGBT offensive that the parties of Feijóo and Santiago Abascal they starred in the face of the elections. In fact, 64,7% of those surveyed answered yes to the question of whether the 23J voted “to defend their rights” while 35,2% did so for other reasons.

By party, the PSOE took almost 30% of the LGTBI votes, followed by Sumar (17,7%), the Popular Party (13,5%) and Vox, which they now claim 5,9%. % of the voters of the group. And not all political forces are seen the same by those surveyed: among LGTBI people, the one they believe defends their rights the most is Sumar, of which 55,6% think that it is very or quite committed, followed by the PSOE (47,6 .27,2%), a party to which, however, 14,6% attribute little commitment and 80% none. Something that 70% of the people in the group think about Vox and 17% of the PP. Even so, there are 9,5% who claim that the popular are very or quite committed to LGTBI rights and XNUMX% who affirm this on the extreme right.

Lesbian soccer players lead the women's soccer revolutionDespite the large presence of lesbian or bisexual footballers in the championship, there were 85 who had made their sexual orientation public, the FIFA did not authorize the use of the flag bracelet LGTBIQ + to claim the rights of the collective during the tournament.

«We have decided to highlight a series of social causes in the 64 matches of the FIFA Women's World Cup: from inclusion to gender equality, through peace, the eradication of hunger, the promotion of education and the fight against gender violence"said the president of the FIFA Gianni Infantino in a statement, leaving out the struggle of this group.

But despite not giving them visibility, it is thanks to the players LGTBIQ + that women's soccer is changing in the world. Thanks to examples like that of Megan Rapinoe who came out in defense of the 15 and Jenny, thanks to Mapi who gave up his dream, thanks to the tweet of Alexia and to all those who push to end inequalities and injustices and defend women's rights. They are a reference for future soccer players, but also for all women who, by looking at their behavior, will learn to fight for their rights.

No Time For Flowers

Ana María Moix, la Nena, as her friends from the "Gauche Divine" were still calling her, has left. Silently and on tiptoe. With the same dignity that he maintained until the end.
Ironic, new, biting, irreducible ... It leaves us much more than an excellent literary work, it gives us the example of a life without closets and without recliners.
There is a red-haired boy looking for her through the streets of the Eixample and Walter wonders why he left. But surely somewhere there is a celestial Bocaccio and there in the bar Terenci, Barral, Gil de Biedma and many others will wait for the last drink, another, and if it tertia dance a waltz blacker than night.
Just a year ago he stated in an interview "Maybe he's old enough to accept that I have to go." Acceptance before resignation.

Is your superhero gay?

NEWS.- The world of comics has dragged for years the cliché of being a macho world, a universe full of statuesque women subjected to muscular and dominant males. And it is true that there has been that, but limiting the comic to that type of images is absurd, because there are as many comics as there are creators. Different lines, stories, mentalities, urban tribes, subcultures and positions in front of life are reflected in diverse stories and drawings.

the ice man Gayles.tv

Of course also there is a clear gay current in the world of comics and precisely this weekend has had an area in which to make itself known, because last Saturday, 13 of June, was held the first convention of gay comics of New York with the name of "Flame With". The organization was in charge of Geeks Out and its goals were clearly stated in its slogan: “A day dedicated to comics, art, entertainment and exhibitions with creators and personalities from all corners of the LGBTQ geek fandom, including comics, video games, film and television".

The event was financed thanks to the campaign launched last November in Kickstarter, in which help was requested to raise the 15.000 $ needed to be able to move the project forward. The response was a success and 20.000 $ was raised. This enabled the rental of Brooklyn Grand Prospect Hall to house the different acts and create Flamey, a superhero whose main task has been to promote the convention.
flame-con-poster Gayles.tv

None of the greats of comic book creation, many of them manifestly homosexuals, wanted to miss this event and we have been able to see firms as well known as those of Phil Jiménez, known for Wolverine or the X-Men, until Kevin Wada, a gay artist from San Francisco, creator of the famous covers of the emerald heroine, where he has managed to capture as no one his love for fashion and his devotion to superheroes. The list would be endless and we believe that comic book lovers will know where to get more information.

Be that as it may, "Flame Con" has shown, not only that there is life beyond manga in the comic universe, but also to what extent there is an important LGTBI cultural current among its creations.

Strasbourg declares it illegal to discriminate against a children's book for having LGTBI content

Strasbourg condemns Lithuania for stopping the publication of a children's storybook with LGTBI characters and labeling it harmful

El European Court of Human Rights has considered that labeling a children's book as harmful just because it contains content LGTBI violates freedom of expression, in an unprecedented sentence that responds to a lawsuit opened in Lithuania but that sets a precedent for all the countries integrated under the umbrella of the aforementioned court.

The facts date back to the end of 2013, when a university published a book by the author Neringa Dangvyde Macate, now deceased. The work, which was partially financed by the Ministry of Culture Aimed at children aged nine to ten, it adapted traditional fairy tales to include characters from different ethnic groups or intellectual disabilities with the aim of addressing issues such as stigma, bullying, divorced families or emigration. In addition, two of the six stories recounted same-sex relationships and marriages.

The publication led to complaints to the Ministry and the University, alleging for example that the book “encouraged perversion". The ethics inspection concluded that the text could be “harmful" for children under 14, so when distribution of the book resumed, it was done with a label warning of the content.

After a series of internal lawsuits, the controversy was raised in 2019 to the Strasbourg ECtHR, which finally concluded that the Lithuanian authorities contravened the article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, related to freedom of expression, and limited the access of minors to some stories that were limited to putting marriage between people of the same sex as “equivalent" to heterosexual union.

Preference for certain types of families

For the judges, the restrictions that were applied against the book, which limited its distribution, sought "limit children's access to information that describes same-sex relationships as essentially equivalent to relationships between different-sex couples”. And it "has broad social implications”, they warn in their ruling. In this, they also say "firmly" convinced that restrictive measures such as those adopted by Lithuania with the book of Macate "demonstrate that the authorities have a preference for certain types of relationships and families over others, and that they see relationships between different sexes as more socially acceptable and valuable than those of the same sex, thus contributing to the continued stigmatization of the latter".

The judges do not consider that the text was "sexually explicit” nor that, as he argued Government, a certain type of marriages was being promoted. “On the contrary, the stories advocated for the respect and acceptance of all members of society in a fundamental aspect of their lives., reads the final opinion.

Therefore, lithuanian state has been sentenced to pay $12.000 to the plaintiff's mother for damages, as well as to pay other 5.000 euros for the costs of the process. He ECHR, based in Strasbourg, is independent of the European Union and is responsible for providing a judicial response to violations of the European Convention on Human Rights.

"Current disease: Homosexual"

Homosexuality in a 19-year-old girl from Murcia is diagnosed as a disease

«Current illness: homosexuality«: Is the phrase that was found in his medical report after a gynecology consultation in the Reina Sofía Hospital of Murcia, dependent on Murcian Health Service, a 19-year-old girl who came for consultation. When reading the diagnosis, the young woman was surprised: «I did not understand how this type of thinking continued to occur in the twenty-first century: it seems that there are people who have not changed their sigor".

The mother of the patient assures that she is going to file a formal complaint against the doctor who classified her daughter's sexual condition as a disease and will request that this information be removed from her medical record by «vexatious«.

«It was in 1990 when the World Health Organization removed homosexuality from the list of mental illnesses, and yet 31 years later, in the Murcian Health System some professionals continue to assume sexual orientation as a disease«, They complain from the Galactyco Collective Association of Gais, Lesbianas, Bisexuales y Trans de Cartagena y Comarca.

As they denounce, this is not an isolated case, but rather "There are already numerous cases of humiliating treatment that come to our Association due to sexual or gender orientation, and we consider alarming, unacceptable and intolerable that to date the professionals on whom an adequate treatment of our health depends are ignorant of the realities of the LGTBI people«.

They demand a rectification

In addition, they claim to have sent separate writings to the Counseling and SMS demanding «rectification and immediate apologies to the patient«. They also claim the application of the aforementioned Law 8/2016 of May 27, of social equality of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transsexuals, transgender and intersex.

According to galactyco, five years after its approval, this law «remains as a legislative ornament»And remember that«commits the Government of Murcia to guarantee respectful treatment towards LGTBI people since health professionals have adequate training and information on homosexuality, bisexuality, transsexuality and intersexuality«.

Change gender by playing "Rust"

GAYLES.TV.-  "Rust" is a popular survival game that includes the online gaming platform "Steam" that has incorporated among its characteristics the possibility that, in a random way, the male character of a player can become a woman. Until now the traits of the characters or game avatars such as hair color, eye color or even penis size, were also determined randomly and that was not a problem, but the introduction of gender change has triggered a disproportionate reaction in many users.

GAYLES.TV RUST GIRLThe developers of "Rust", Garry Newman and Taylor Reynolds, they already foresaw that innovation could raise blisters and even more so if we consider that 95% of regular users of “Steam” are men: «We understand that it is a sensitive issue for many. We understand that perhaps now you will have a sex with which you do not identify in real life and that this may cause you discomfort and that you do not want to continue playing »they point out, but “Technically nothing has changed, since half the population already felt that way before. The only difference is that now your Steam ID, and not your sex in real life, determines if you should feel this way. "

Judging by the comments of the users in the forum on this topic, to say that it is “a sensitive topic” is an understatement, in fact the moderators had to delete dozens of offensive comments, insults, threats and all kinds of mockery of character misogynist. Users who complain about seeing their gender changed avatar are portrayed in their comments. Here we have collected some:

  • Please add gender change I can't stand it, please ... add gender change ...
  • Dear Rust, I am very unhappy with this new update. I want to change the sex of my character to male and I can not. Please let me change gender because I do not want to be A WOMAN BIT for the rest of my life in Rust.
  • To be realistic, why stop here? I want my character to have the rule every month and to suffer an unstoppable hemorrhage of 1 percent for a week.

Newman, one of its creators, argues that "It is as rare to hear a woman speak with a man's voice as it is to hear an 8-year-old boy speak through his adult avatar." But, judging by the answers of some player, the explanation does not seem to have managed to calm the spirits: “The argument collapses under its own weight if you see where I and the others come from. If I put Rust and my character is a woman, you will have lost a player and his circle of friends who also play it ”. But the numbers of users maintained by the platform and the game do not seem to support these threats.

The question would be to ask ourselves why so many men find so unassuming a female avatar in a game that is still a fantasy?

The correspondent in Rome of El País, Daniel Verdu, gave the pope on December 2 a 385-page dossier that included the journalistic investigation. This brings together new cases of clergy, religious and laity from 1943 until the last reported in 2018. These new 251 cases could increase the number of victims of abuse to 1.237, although from the newspaper they assure that according to the testimonies collected there could be thousands.

The number of victims could rise to 1.237

Pope orders investigation of 251 accused of sexual abuse in SpainThe dossier has already been transferred to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, an institution that deals with the investigation of pederasty in the Catholic world. The report has also been delivered to the president of the Juan José Omella Episcopal Conference, who has transferred him to the ecclesiastical court of Barcelona.

It should be noted that the document does not reveal the personal data of the victims to guarantee their anonymity, although the newspaper emphasizes that “has been made available to the Vatican to facilitate contact with the victims and that they can give a statement, if they so wish". "After three years of verification work, and after ruling out many other cases that are still under investigation, these gather plausibility, sufficient evidence or relevant information so that the ecclesiastical authorities can clarify them or take measures.”, They explain.

31 dioceses and 31 religious congregations

Most of the reported cases are concentrated in the 60s, 70s and 80s, and mostly affect 31 dioceses and 31 religious congregations. Most of the stories speak of pedophiles who abused dozens of children, usually teachers who sexually assaulted entire classes.

First robotic “sex reassignment” surgery in Europe

The Bellvitge hospital has performed surgery to modify the genital physical characteristics using a surgical robot

El Bellvitge University Hospital de L'Hospitalet de Llobregat (Barcelona) has carried out, for the first time in Europe, a surgery to modify the genital physical characteristics by means of a surgical robot, a technique developed in United States which reduces the operating time and the risk of complications. The intervention, a robotic vaginoplasty with peritoneal flap, was performed on a 30-year-old patient.

The most frequently used feminizing surgery is penile inversion vaginoplasty, that is, using the skin of the penis itself and scrotum as tissue for the creation of the neovaginal canal. The incorporation of robotic surgery to this technique allows the use of the peritoneal flap (a part of the tissue that lines the abdominal cavity) to, in this way, ensure depth and facilitate the creation of the channel of the new vagina.

For patients, the advantages of this new type of intervention are a lower risk of vaginal prolapse and possible injury to the rectum during surgery, as well as a reduction in the duration of the intervention. According to the hospital, in the future it is expected that this type of procedure will also shorten the hospital stay and «improve functional outcomes» of the patients.

Technique imported from the United States

The intervention was carried out jointly by urologists and plastic surgeons from the Transgender Surgery Functional Unit who did a two-month stay at the NYU Langone Hospital of New York with experts and world leaders in this type of technique.

«The four years of experience in this technique in the United States have shown that it is a very safe and advantageous procedure for patients«, has underlined the doctor of the Bellvitge Begoña Etcheverry Urology Service.

El Bellvitge University Hospital has two operating rooms equipped with the robotic system Da Vinci, with which he performs some 500 robotic surgeries annually.

Bellvitge, specialized in sex "reassignment"

La Functional Transgender Surgery Unit of the Bellvitge University Hospital was launched in October 2019, after the Catalan Health Service designate this hospital as one of the three referral centers for Catalonia for surgical care for trans people.

It is a multidisciplinary unit with recognized experience in the field of complex genital surgery, where specialists from the Urology, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Gynecology, among others. Since its launch, it has made a total of 39 transgender surgeries. Genital reassignment offers trans people the possibility of reaffirming their identity.

Putophobia do you know what it is?

By putophobia is meant the rejection of prostitution and contempt of the people who decide to exercise it. But does one thing necessarily imply the other?

EDITORIAL GAYLES.TV  Last week was held in Barcelona the Pride demonstration commemorating the 40 years of the first demonstration for LGTBI rights in Spain. Gayles.tv he was recording a report, "Barcelona manifests itself 40 years later", which offers us the multifaceted image of a struggle that obviously has many faces. And following the statements of one of the participants in the video, the idea for this text arises.

gayles prostitutes banner

The woman we refer to is Sabrina Sánchez, from the Association of Sex Professionals and paraded along with other compañeras behind a banner that could be read "Whores are also LGTBIQ. Enough of racism and putofobia ". In her statement that you can listen in the 3: 20 minute of the video, Sabrina claims: "We are part of the LGTB community and we do not want to be left aside because we are sex workers. There is a tendency to make ourselves invisible because we give an image that a certain part of the collective does not like, because that image is not good for the rest of society. "And continues,"the intention has always been to change society, not to fit into it by force". Bravo by the lucidity of Sabrina, but many voices would say that with certain nuances.

First of all, we do not just understand the logic that "Whores are also LGTBIQ" all? We suppose there will be lesbian and transsexual prostitutes, and, unfortunately, for many years it has been one of the few ways to earn the lives of thousands of transsexual women around the world and not just by vocation. The statistics show chilling figures of mistreatment, death and forced prostitution. According to the State Transgender Association, of the 1731 transsexual persons killed in the transphobia between 2008 and 2014, the 65% with known occupation were sex workers and 617 did not reach the 30 years. It is not like to start applauding or suddenly falling into the demagoguery that everything that surrounds prostitution is cool.

decent work trans

Sabrina is right to defend the right to be taken into account and to want to transform the root society and not to be "tolerated" and is understood in his speech that claims prostitution as a decision freely made by the person.

But this is not the case and it is not so because in the immense majority of cases prostitution is exercised by the poorest women and without rights of the planet and it is but a form of violence exerted by the man against the woman since if "The consent has to be bought is no longer consent". And we quote a magnificent text from Julie Bindel on the position of certain neoliberal feminists who seem to be more offended by the approach of abolishing the prostitution industry than by the exploitation that pimps exert on women. It is the men who pay for the body of the woman, who decide whether or not you are a whore, or whore. Neither out of respect for the survivors of prostitution who carry scars on the soul and sometimes in the body of violence, abuse and degrading treatment to which they were subjected, we can not, we should not claim a practice that treats women as a commodity and dehumanizes them.

puteros-no-clientes-prostitucion

There would be more, much more to argue in one sense and the other: on the need for prostitution to avoid greater evils, on the right of everyone to do what suits him best with his body and how not, on the different postures that from the left and LGTBI movements is adopted into prostitution, but everything does not fit here.

There is only one thing that is worth making clear: You can be against prostitution as an oppressive structure and that does not imply rejection of prostitutes, on the contrary. So congratulations again to Sabrina for his words and for his participation. Among all of us, we will certainly build a really new and better society.

"Campbell's" and gay spot scandalize

GAYLES.TV.- The latest commercial of the soup brand "Campbell's" It's being a breeding ground (sorry for the easy joke) for US ultraconservative homophobia. Why? Do you have pornographic content? Nooooo Do you insult someone or advocate violence? noooo However, the announcement of the iconic soup brand has scandalized the most conservative sectors of America that have reacted by filling social networks with insults and threats, even accusing the company of "Normalize thegay-family Campbell's Gayles.tv sin".

And what is it that has unleashed the wrath of the ultras in the US? For a scene of the most everyday, tender and familiar in which the parents of a child try to make him eat the soup. The problem is that "the parents" in this case does not refer to a father and a mother, but to two parents, two gentlemen taking turns lovingly in the role of Darth Vader and his famous phrase "I am your father", "I am your father". Terror and desolation, the two claim as priests!

And it is that one thing is the presence of LGTBI people in advertising and quite another to show a situation of absolute family normality between a gay couple and their child in a context comparable to a heterosexual family and also in an advertisement for "Campbell's", one of the most popular products in the US, the brand of soups and creams par excellence. Not in vain Andy Warhol  He chose it in a symbolic way for one of his best known works.
Campbell's Andy Warhol Gayles.tv

In short, we are faced with the umpteenth expression of homophobia of those who consider that only they are normal, that only they have the right to marry and that only they can form a family.

The campaign of the conservatives has unleashed an intense controversy between detractors and defenders of the spot who, in the best of cases, debate and at worst insult themselves.

Meanwhile, the past 3 of October Emmett Castillo, a teenager from San Diego of only 14 years old took his life because he could not bear the pressure and the signs of transphobia that he lived since he decided to come out of the closet and show the world his true identity. Let's see how many ultras tear their clothes for this new suicide.

In peace Emmett rest.

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'.

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

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.
