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».

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.

Who do LGTBI people vote for?

Posted on by Gayles.tv

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.

85 openly LGTBIQ+ footballers played in the World Cup

As in times past feminism and LGTBIQ+ they go hand in hand in rights claims. The case of the Spanish selection It is no exception. Irene Paredes, Alba Redondo, Teresa Abelleira, Esther González, Ivana Andrés are the five soccer players The Red openly lesbians who have played the world cup. The rumors and summer photographs add some more that will have their reasons for not being visible, being a lesbian still has a very high price that not everyone can afford to pay.

Mapi León, Lola Gallardo, Patri Guijarro or Claudia Pina are the ones retaliated by Jorge Vilda who left behind their dream to defend their values. Among them, activism stands out LGTBIQ + de Mapi Leon and above all to defend the conditions of soccer players and fight so that women's soccer occupies the place it deserves.

The abuse that Luis rubiales (let's stop calling it a kiss) exerted on Jennifer Beautiful before everyone and his feeling of impunity has once again put the debate on machismo and consent. And they are the players and the movement #it's over who have stood up to change things.

Alexia putellas she was the first, that's why she is the leader and captain, and the waterfall became infinite. At this moment she FIFA has the key to disabling rubiales. The world body has more chances of expelling the president of the Spanish federation. If it were not for the 90-day provisional suspension that FIFA imposed on him on August 26, he could hold his position as president of the Real spanish soccer federation (RFEF).

FIFA's double standard

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.

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.

For democratic decency and because older LGBTIQ+ people are unstoppable!! "

Germany approves gender self-determination law

Posted on by Gayles.tv

Gender identity becomes a mere administrative procedure in Germany thanks to a new law

En Germany, the Lower House of Parliament, the Bundestag, approved this Friday a law that will facilitate the change of name and gender identity in official documents. This decision has been promoted by the parties of the Government coalition and celebrated by the collective LGTBI.

The current law, from 1980, establishes that people transsexual, intersex or non-binary they need psychiatric reports and a judge's permission to change your name in the registry. Starting in November, a purely administrative procedure will suffice.

The new law, which had a total of 374 votes in favour, 251 against and 11 abstentions in the Bundestag, will come into force next November 1th, but starting in August the change in registration can be requested, since it lasts three months until it is effective.

For the German Family Minister, Lisa Paus, with this new law ―which replaces the controversial Transsexuality Law of 1980― it was about putting an end to a situation that in their opinion was not sustainable and that was “really discriminatory for these people and that placed unreasonable additional obstacles for thems ".

The law and minors

Germany approves gender self-determination lawThe under 14 years They cannot make the declaration in the civil registry by themselves. The legal representative must do it, but always accompanied by the minor.

If the person is between 14 and 18 years old, they can make the declaration in the civil registry themselves, but they need the consent of their legal representative for its validity.

In case of conflicts, the family court can make the decision. The criterion must be best interests of the minor. The young person, or the parents, in the case of children under 14 years of age, must also declare that they have received prior advice. This counseling can be provided by a psychologist or by child and youth welfare services.

In addition, to protect people's privacy, it is also prohibited – similar to the current law – to consult previous gender registrations or given names. Regarding the criticism that the age limit of 14 years is too low, the Minister of Family recalled that “At 14 years old, for example, you can also decide what religion you want to belong to.", so this answers "simply to the logic of German legislation".

A decent law for trans people

For many it is a historic day. “The humiliation has now come to an end", he explained in the Bundestag el Government Commissioner for Queer Affairs German, Sven Lehmann. Meanwhile, the deputy of The Greens Nyke Slawik, who herself had to change her gender at the start with the previous regulations, thanked everyone who had made the new law possible. “As a trans person, we experience time and time again that our dignity becomes a matter of negotiation", she explained about a process that cost her two years and almost 2.000 euros. “This has come to an end”, he added about a change that has also been supported by the German Conference of Psychotherapists for some time.

The approved law stipulates that the sex registration can be changed again after one year. It does not affect medical interventions for gender reassignment. Separate regulations and guidelines apply for this.

Although parts of the old law had been declared unconstitutional by the German Constitutional Court on repeated occasions, especially because of the humiliating procedures for those affected, the new law was opposed by conservatives, the extreme right Alternative for Germany (AfD) and the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance. However, the majority made up of social democrats, liberals and greens made it pass without problems through the Bundestag.

The Vatican dictates that sex change violates dignity

Posted on by Gayles.tv

The Vatican condemns transsexuality in a severe document approved by Pope Francis, which once again takes a regressive turn to its recent openings

El Vatican confirms his doctrine against sex changes, gender theory and surrogate bellies. In a long-awaited document of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, Santa Thirst This Monday he published a list of what he considers “serious violations” of human dignity, condemning these acts at the same level as abortion or euthanasia, always criticized by the Catholic Church.

In the statement 'infinite worthy' establishes that every operation of sex change can "attack" against human dignity, except in cases of “genital anomalies.”

"Every operation of sex change, as a general rule, runs the risk of attacking the unique dignity that the person has received from the moment of conception. This does not mean that the possibility is excluded that a person affected by genital abnormalities, which are already evident at birth or develop later, may choose to receive medical assistance in order to resolve these anomalies. In this case, the operation would not constitute a sex change in the sense understood here.", assures the Vatican in the text.

In this sense, it specifies that the human body participates in the dignity of the person, since it is “endowed with personal meanings, especially in their sexual condition (…). It is through their body that men and women can establish a relationship of love capable of generating other people.”He says.

A text approved by the Pope, after being studied for five years

The Vatican dictates that sex change violates dignityThe text, dated April 2, written over five years and approved by the Pope, is signed by the cardinal prefect of the dicastery Víctor Fernández, and is presented as a “opportunity"for the Church to clarify"some misunderstandings that often arise around human dignity and addressing some specific, serious and urgent issues related to it”.

El Vatican reiterates that, regardless of their sexual tendency, every person must be “respected in its dignity and welcomed with respect, trying to avoid any sign of unjust discrimination and condemnation, in turn, that in some places many people are imprisoned, tortured and even deprived of the good of life, solely because of their sexual orientation. ”.

«Biological sex and gender can be distinguished, but not separated»

On the other hand, he calls "unacceptable" the gender ideologies “that aim to respond to certain aspirations that are sometimes understandable" and who try to impose themselves as a «thought» only one that determines even the education of children. “"There is no need to ignore" than "“biological sex and the sociocultural role of sex (gender) can be distinguished, but not separated.”, he points.

Furthermore, it regrets the attempts to introduce new rights in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which "“It has given rise to ideological colonization, among which gender theory occupies a central place, which is extremely dangerous because it erases differences in its claim to make everyone equal.”.

It also refers to the tendency to deny sexual difference, which it defines as “the greatest possible difference between living beings”. For the Vatican, this ideological proposal that presents a society without sex differences ““empties the anthropological foundation of the family”.

"Any attempt to conceal the reference to the obvious sexual difference between men and women must be rejected. "We cannot separate what is masculine and feminine from the work created by God, which is prior to all our decisions and experiences, where there are biological elements that are impossible to ignore.", Anade.

As usual, the church gives lessons in dignity while covering up its cases of pedophilia.

Data Protection vetoes the “non-binary” sex box on public forms

The Government of the Canary Islands, sanctioned for including the “non-binary” sex box in its forms

La Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) has sanctioned the Canary Islands Government for including a box on one of your public forms that included the box “non-binary” sex in addition to those of “man"And"Woman”. The privacy regulator points out that this information should only be collected when it exists “a specific purpose"for which it is necessary to know it,"meaningless otherwise"And"without trying to collect data for the sake of having it".

The resolution further states that “the introduction of the term no binary on the form, when it is not necessary, it can even be counterproductive because it would force people who do not feel like men or women to declare their gender identity.”. This could mean “risks” for natural persons, argues the AEPD, "such as risks of discrimination".

The sanction comes as a result of a claim by an individual against the Ministry of Economy, Knowledge and Employment canary. He protested the fact that on one of his official forms he was presented with the three options in the field “sex/gender". "The claimant considers that through the aforementioned question he is obliged to provide data related to his sexual orientation, and the claimed entity is not authorized to collect said data.”, summarizes the resolution.

The form in question was “Prior conciliation in labor disputes”, which allows workers and employers to reach agreements without resorting to judicial means. “The inclusion of the gender issue brings no value", considers the AEPD, "nor is this aspect examined or considered, so it makes no sense to introduce a response with said scope, without any connection with the object of the same.".

Box for statistical purposes

Data Protection vetoes the “non-binary” sex box on public formsIn his arguments to the resolution of the AEPD, Canary Islands Government claimed that “The information in the 'sex' field has the sole purpose of statistics, so that this (biological) condition of the person can be known, to have greater knowledge that helps implement public gender policies, among other reasons.".

To this, the privacy regulator answers that it must stick to the fields “man/woman". "In accordance with state regulations and their corresponding regional regulations, they do not in any case indicate that for statistical purposes, the procedures or forms that collect data must include the non-binary response.", ditch.

"A form is presented in which, although it does not make explicit reference to sexual orientation or sexual life, it can be deduced that if the answer man/woman is not provided and the non-binary option is checked, it can be considered related to sexual life. , since basically what is being revealed is an issue that could be related to expressing their beliefs since gender identity is an internal issue for each person."argues the AEPD.

Warning

"You are questioning your felt sex, with which you identify, if it matches the one assigned at birth: woman/man, or non-binary, when your felt sex, with which you identify, does not match the one assigned at birth, which goes beyond the objective and purpose of the form", Add.

The sanction to Canarian counseling does not include a financial fine but only a warning, since the Spanish data protection law does not contemplate fines for public administrations. However, it does urge you to review all your forms.”with the aim of removing the 'non-binary' response option in the 'sex' field” within six months.

The Gay Games in Valencia 2026 are in danger

The Gay Games, in the air: a clause allows the organization to be taken away from Valencia in the face of the City Council's decision to reserve control

Holding the Gay Games en Valencia in 2026 there is the air. The decision of the municipal government to directly manage the organization of the event through the Municipal Sports Foundation (FDM) has not only created unrest among the groups LGTBI but they can cause the International Gay Games Federation execute a clause of the contract that reserves the right to change location if the organizational structure is not considered satisfactory or does not correspond to the final objective of the event.

La Government Board approved last Friday the structure of the organizing committee, the «collegiate body that will carry out the monitoring, promotion and control» of the games, which will be chaired by the mayor of Valencia, The popular Maria Jose Catala, or the councilor to whom she delegates, while the vice presidency will be another of the councilors from her Government team, made up of 13 councilors from the PP and four of Vox.

There will be six members that will hold the Generalitat, the Provincial Council of Valencia, the València Diversitat Foundation, the Samarucs club, the Visit Valencia Foundation and the FDM who, in addition, received the commission from the organization «of the sporting aspects with the allocation of means that are required for this«.

Change in the roadmap

The Gay Games in Valencia 2026 are in dangerThis decision, adopted after months of consultations, means changing the roadmap presented to the International Federation for the candidacy promoted by the groups LGTBI with the support of the previous Government team.

The idea was to maintain the philosophy of these games, with sporting but also cultural implications, and were organized by the associations, without direct intervention from the institutions. Hence the decision was made to create the Valencia Diversitat Foundation as an organizing entity, with public administrations among the patrons of honor.

However, the change of Government occurred before the City Council transferred that organizational responsibility and the current team assures that it found legal and Intervention objections for the complete derivation of some responsibilities that the City Council had acquired. The origin of these warnings were the problems that arose around the management of the Capital of Design, which was referred to an association and is being investigated by the Anti-Fraud Agency.

That is why the order, based on legal warnings, was to keep the organization under municipal control. For months, the Town hall, through the FDM, and Valencia Diversitat Different drafts have been crossed on how to form the organizing committee, but it has been impossible to reach an agreement. «We have not found the formula«, they assure El Mundo sources knowledgeable about the negotiation.

Distrust due to the presence of Vox

The key is the mutual distrust between the parties. On the one hand, the council does not move from what they consider to be the obligation that secretaries and auditors have transmitted to it: to maintain the economic supervision of the event as the ultimate responsible party.

However, it would be possible to assign the execution of all the activities included in the Bid Book to Valencia Diversitat. This option was transferred to the different groups, which did not contemplate this option, because if the final budgetary word is the City Council and any of its decisions can be revocable, there could be activities that end up not being able to be carried out.

They do not lose sight of the presence of Vox in the government team, who has never wanted the Gay Games and that could try to torpedo or censor them. To their alternative proposals, however, they never received a response until last Friday, minutes before the Governing Board, they received a call confirming that the organization would be in the hands of the FDM.

Galician institutes are not safe spaces for LGTBI students

Posted on by Gayles.tv

81% of LGTBI students have received some type of negative comment or ridicule for belonging to the group, according to a survey

A survey conducted by the researcher Ramil Star concludes that the Galician institutes They are not safe spaces for LGTBI students. He 81% of the students in this group declared that they have suffered some type of aggression, mainly insults and jokes in which classmates have participated, but also teachers in some cases.

The study is based on the responses of 503 students from seven centers of secondary education and those of 74 teachers from 29 centers in a survey through Internet. Information from three focus groups in which 14 members of the company participated was also incorporated. LGTBIQ+ Educational Support Network of Galicia, the Association of Families of Trans Minors (Arelas) and Avante LGTBI+ Galiza.

With the data from the study, the ONGD Galician Association of Communication for Social Change (Agareso) denounces that people LGTBI They do not find a safe space in secondary schools. The author assures that there is more and more visibility, but she calls for awareness that students “continues to face multiple situations of LGTBIphobia or LGTBI bullying".

Privileges

He emphasizes that rejection and participation in attacks is “especially worrying"in heterosexual cisgender men, which is why it calls for urgently addressing the work"about hegemonic masculinities, privileges and the responsibility of young people in the face of inequalities".

According to the survey, 23% of the teachers and 28% of the students are part of the group. Of the participants, 4,58% of the students indicated that they are trans, 19% stated that they had a non-normative sexual orientation and 9% said they were in the process of defining themselves.

More than half keep their sexual orientation a secret

Galician institutes are not safe spaces for LGTBI studentsReality does not translate into visibility, says the study, which points out that the 54% They keep their sexual orientation a secret. Only 36% say they feel free to express themselves about sexual identity or orientation. The fundamental reasons are, according to Estrella Ramil, the fear of threats, different treatment or harassment.

69% of the teachers who responded to the questions stated that they have witnessed some type of aggression against someone from the LGTBI community and the 17% of the students cishetero admitted having participated in an attack “in a joking context”. In addition to the most frequent jokes and insults, students and teachers indicate that they have witnessed situations of isolation, which trans people have suffered especially. The majority of students say they accept these people, but one in three cishetero boys admit that they do not.

Student reactions

For Agareso, the figures on the reactions that students have when they witness attacks are “very worrying”. 46% say that they would defend their partner, but 30% say that they would not do anything, 19% that they would not know what to do and 5% that they would join the attack. Ramil emphasizes that this means that there are many spaces in which an LGTBI person would be “very vulnerable".

The study also shows what the NGO describes as prejudices and stereotypes: people tranny They are more often perceived as sick or unhappy, while bisexual women are more often seen as promiscuous and homosexual women as capricious and selfish. Regarding social changes, 16% of the participating students stated that the advances in LGTBIQ+ matters are negative and 18% said that the strengthening of the feminist movement is negative.

Social Media

When receiving discriminatory content on social networks - only one in four students says that it does not reach them - 26% say they do nothing about it; 28% indicate that they laugh conspiratorially, but do not forward; 17% do share it in turn; and 13% take an active role against this content, either by making comments, or by reporting it on the social network itself or to family members or teachers. Ramil concludes that they are people LGTBI those who react the most because they are more aware of discrimination and ask to confront “the growing wave of ultraconservative forces that threaten the achievements achieved".

Massive fraud to the Trans Law in Ceuta

Posted on by Gayles.tv

Fraud to the Trans Law: 37 officials of the Army, the National Police, the Civil Guard and the Local Police of Ceuta resort to sex change to achieve promotions more easily

One year has passed since the entry into force of the Trans Law. A pioneering standard that stressed the Coalition government, opened a gap in the feminist movement and allowed trans people to be officially recognized according to their identity without having to go through medical requirements, something that only 16 countries in the world do.

in the set of Spain, throughout 2023 more than 5.000 changes sex registration in application of the Trans Law. In the majority of cases, 60%, the transition was from man to woman. The procedures have generally proceeded normally. Until now. Because it turns out that in Ceuta There are 37 police officers and soldiers who have decided to change their sex to obtain benefits for being a woman. They do not change their name or partner. A fact that in isolation would not generate suspicion, but that proportionally raises alarm bells.

That there are members of the Army, the National Police, the Civil Guard and the Local Police of Ceuta that seek to benefit from positive discrimination measures that exist to guarantee equality does not invalidate the Trans Law. On the contrary, it invalidates them.

49 Sex changes in Ceuta

Massive fraud to the Trans Law in CeutaSince the rule came into force on March 2 of last year there have been a total of 49 sex changes in Ceuta. Eight of them have been from women who have transitioned to men, with the consequent change of name. They have gone from having female names to having male names. The rest, 41 people, have gone from being men to being women. However, only four of this group have also changed their name.

The rest, 37, have kept their male names. These people represent 75,5% of the total population that has resorted to the Trans Law, an especially high and striking figure. These data suggest that a massive fraud to the Trans Law in Ceuta. These people would not be changing their sex to be transsexual, but to obtain different benefits by becoming officially women.

There is a lack of tools to detect legal fraud

There are several reasons that explain why this phenomenon is happening, especially in Ceuta. The first, because there is a very high community of members of the Armed Forces and police forces, which implies that the possibility of changing sex and the benefits that this entails is easily spread through word of mouth. On the other hand, because there is no judge in charge of the Civil Registry in Ceuta.

Pioneering resolution in Gran Canaria

In a pioneering resolution, the judge of the Court of First Instance 5 of San Bartolomé de Tirajana (Gran Canaria) Last September, he denied sex change to an opponent who was trying to get a public job. The togado was responsible for the Civil Registry.

The resolution concluded that the opponent was acting with "spurious mood«. «Sand draws forcefully from the fact that she states that she has always felt like a woman and that she has not mentioned it to family and friends. It is completely incongruous and contrary to maxims of experience that a person who feels like a woman expresses this by correcting her sex in the Civil Registry before sharing it with family and friends.«, read the car.

This, however, cannot happen in Ceuta, since the highest legal authority in the Civil Registry is a lawyer from the Administration of Justice, who is also in the position temporarily. If this person dedicated themselves to rejecting sex changes, they could end up being charged with the crime of prevarication.

«Before it was well regulated and it was easier to see who was trans and who wasn't, but the new law doesn't allow you any room for maneuver. We are looking forward to a resolution that establishes jurisprudence on this issue to be able to address it.«, lament the legal sources.

Isabel García opens the days of a transphobic association

Posted on by Gayles.tv

Isabel García participated in a conference in which she related “queer theory and the normalization of pedophilia"

On February 17, the director of the Women's Institute, Isabel García, participated in the inauguration of the second congress of the association of Feminist Teachers for Coeducation (DoFemCo), an organization that rated the Trans Law of "undemocratic madness", which speaks of "supposed trans childhoods” and who congratulated himself on the cut of the LGBTI and trans laws of the Community of Madrid that was executed by the Government of Ayuso the last December.

The choice of García in front of the Institute of Women unleashed criticism from the groups LGTBI and a good part of the political parties due to the comments he made on social networks in recent years, in which he not only harshly attacked the Trans Law, but he made harsh positions on trans people. After the criticism, García apologized and the minister, Ana Redondo, defended his appointment. He assured that he was unaware of his “virtual resume” and assured, asked about it in the Congress, what "Anyone who is not committed to the Ministry's lines has no place in this ministerial group.".

Occupy spaces

Less than a month later, the director of the Institute of Women, who until now worked as a consultant on equality policies in the private sector, has participated in a congress that openly attacks the legislation approved by the Government in this matter. Sources of Equality They argue that their assistance responds to the need to “occupy spaces” and spread the ministry's speech and allege that García cannot be held responsible for the speeches and ideas that arose during the conference, held on the weekend of February 17 and 18 in the Valencian municipality of Ribarroja del Turia.

During the almost half hour he used to welcome those attending the congress, García at no time did he mention the Trans Law and he limited himself to ensuring that the ministry has a mandate from the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, from "reestablish that common thread that has always existed from the institutions and the feminist movement".

"We come from a difficult time, you know, in which there were many bridges that were broken. My presence here is a gesture but not only with you, with the entire feminist movement and the entire society.”, he stated. The director of the organization joked about her arrival in office – “that landing was so fun I had, I entered through the big door”- and assured that the association had the support of the Institute to organize your conference. “Things can be done much better, we obviously come from the stage we come from...", He said.

Criticism in the Senate

Isabel García opens the days of a transphobic associationThe issue has reached this afternoon's session in the Senate Equality Commission, in which the minister appears Ana Redondo to explain the ministry's roadmap. The senator of Plural Left Parliamentary Group, Carla Antonelli (Más Madrid), thanked the owner of Equality the policies that he has put on the table and has extended his hand to, but he has reserved the last part of his intervention to disgrace him for keeping in office someone who participates in a congress who “promotes the repeal of trans and LGTBI laws and does not recognize the right to gender identity, something that a socialist government established in 2007".

Antonelli has highlighted a communication “aberrant” presented at the congress, which was titled “Relationship between queer theory and the normalization of pedophilia". "Yes, they now point us out as pedophiles, it's the last straw.", criticized the senator, who believes that with her assistance García "I was endorsing these ideas". "It is important where the Government has a presence and where it does not, what is said and even more important, what is left silent.”. The senator has asked the minister to “take a look at your equipment and assess”that the director of the Institute of Women "It could be another person who is willing to recognize the rights of all women, including trans women.".

As well Sara Bailac (ERC) has regretted that Round keep García in office: “We wonder how compliance with the Trans and LGTBI Law can be guaranteed when the director has disowned trans people and has even doubted homophobic attacks."said the senator.

After a first turn of response from the minister without responding to the allusions, Antonelli He has insisted again and in the second round, Round has responded by disconnecting the assistance of García with the contents of the congress, in which, he assured, “many things were talked about". "When we participate from the ministry in forums we cannot be responsible for everything that is said, we would be vetoing", stated the minister, who defended "give him a vote of confidence” to the director and has guaranteed that her portfolio “remains committed to people LGTBI y Trans".

Why has Isabel García not been dismissed?

That a transphobic person cannot lead the Institute of Women It is evidence. So why is it still Isabel García in office? From the first moment the fabric LGTBIQ + He was opposed to the appointment and has not been heard. Perhaps it is a minor issue for the government, second-class citizens who do not deserve the same rights as the rest. If the title “Relationship between queer theory and the normalization of pedophilia” doesn't even make them blink, what do we expect from the Ministry of Equality? It only occurs to us that it could be a distraction maneuver. While they keep us busy claiming obvious things, we are losing rights and getting used to mistreatment.

The big doubts of companies about the LGTBI+ trans law

Posted on by Gayles.tv

The regulations have not yet been published so that companies with more than 50 employees can make their LGTBI Plan

On March 2, the deadline for the companies with more than fifty employees put into operation the action protocols to achieve real and effective equality for LGTBI people. This is stated in the law, published in the BOE on February 28, 2023, and which came into force on March 2 of the same year. This law, in the third section, article 15, states the following:

«Companies with more than fifty workers must have, within twelve months from the entry into force of this law, a planned set of measures and resources to achieve real and effective equality for LGTBI people, that includes an action protocol to address harassment or violence against LGTBI people. To this end, the measures will be agreed upon through collective bargaining and agreed with the legal representation of the workers. The content and scope of these measures will be developed according to regulations.

— Law 4/2023, of February 28, for the real and effective equality of trans people and for the guarantee of the rights of LGTBI people

Waiting for the Regulation

However, this law also indicates that these measures will be developed through a regulation that has not yet been made public. As explained by the General Director for Real and Effective Equality of LGTBIQ+ people July of the Iscar Valley: «The deadline is extended so that companies with more than fifty workers adopt measures and resources to achieve real and effective equality for LGTBI people»

DGPPLGBTI+ of the Generalitat of Catalonia has issued a statement to respond to companies' queries

The General Directorate of LGBTI+ Public Policies of the Generalitat of Catalonia, directed by Xavier Florensa Cantons, has issued the following statement:

Recently, many companies and local entities have contacted this Administration to obtain information regarding the possible interpretation of article 15 of Law 4/2023, of February 28, for the real and effective equality of trans people and for the guarantee of the rights of LGTBI people (hereinafter, Trans-State Law), which regulates the obligation of companies with more than 50 workers to have a planned set of measures and resources to achieve real and effective for LGTBI people, before March 2, 2024.
On the other hand, and taking into account that the regulation that has to deploy the content and scope of this planned set of measures has not yet been approved, they wonder if, in accordance with the new trans-state Law, the fact of not having of these measures, within the stipulated period, constitutes an administrative infraction with the consequent sanction." Full Text

The final conclusions of the statement are the following:

Mandatory LGTBI plana) It is recommended that companies, regardless of the number of personnel:

 – Have sufficient methods or instruments for the prevention and detection of discriminatory situations due to sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression and various sexual characteristics in the workplace, negotiated with staff representation.

– Implement measures to prevent and, if appropriate, cease possible discrimination or harassment based on sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression and various sexual characteristics within the company.

Among other measures, a protocol could be implemented with the procedure to follow and the reference people or company units that can accompany and repair possible victims of discrimination or harassment, and urge the investigation of the case and adopt the appropriate resolutions in relationship with offenders. The protocol would have to be accompanied by a good communication and dissemination plan, as well as mechanisms that allow monitoring and checking effectiveness.

– Negotiate and agree on measures with staff representation, to integrate them as tools that provide solutions to possible discrimination or harassment based on sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression and diverse sexual characteristics within the company.

– Raise awareness and train all staff in the LGBTI field, regardless of position and responsibility, and integrate the values ​​of equal treatment and non-discrimination into corporate policy, expressing the company's commitment to LGBTI people.

– Include elements of inclusive language in all communications and company documentation.

There is no regulation that specifies how the format that groups these measures or their content must be, therefore, it can be done in the way that the company considers most appropriate, in accordance with the representation of the staff in the event that the company has, to make it a reality and until the regulation that deploys article 15 is approved.

It must be made clear that the new trans-state Law modifies Law 9/2017, of November 8, on Public Sector Contracts, with the objective of including in the specifications of particular administrative clauses special execution conditions or award criteria aimed at the promotion of equal treatment and non-discrimination for reasons of sexual orientation, sexual identity, gender expression and sexual characteristics, whenever there is a connection with the object of the contract.

The Administration of the Generalitat and some local entities have already begun to incorporate these criteria. That is why it is important that the company proves that it has these measures if it wants to carry out contracts with public administrations.

b) Regarding the planned set of measures and resources regulated by article 15 of the Transstate Law, until the regulation that regulates the contents and scope is approved, it is difficult for it to be enforceable. Once this regulation is approved, companies (public or private) with more than 50 workers will have to adapt, modify and complement the one deployed based on point a) above, in accordance with what the new regulations specify.

Therefore, we will have to wait for the regulatory rollout to know exactly how the planned set of measures and resources has to be implemented, as well as its content and scope.

In any case, it is recommended that the company sign a declaration of wills document merely formal, with the commitment to carry out what regulates article 15, once the regulation is approved.

c) It must be remembered that neither the Trans-State Law nor Law 11/2014 regulate any specific infraction for not implementing measures such as those mentioned in this information note. Even so, the company, regardless of the number of personnel, could commit a very serious infraction in accordance with section 13 bis of article 8 of the LISOS if it does not have measures to prevent harassment based on sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression. or diverse sexual characteristics in the workplace.

The LGTBI policy secretariat of Comisiones Obreras Castilla-La Mancha

Rosario Martinez, secretary of women and politics LGTBI of Castilla-La Mancha Workers' Commissions notes that "Since the regulations are not there, we do not know exactly what criteria these protocols or measures must have, so there is a little confusion when it comes to this negotiation.«.

Therefore, until there is a regulation that establishes the bases on which they must be and the criteria that must determine these protocols, the union points out that they will not know what exactly to adjust to. Furthermore, since Workers Commissions They point out that these protocols should be included in the collective agreement and that it should be left margin for companies and unions to negotiate these sections.

As the standard is written, it will be necessary to create a plan LGTBI specific and, therefore, it must be different from Equality Plan. It is important to understand that Law 4/2023 indicates that the LGTBI Plan It must be agreed upon through collective bargaining and agreed with the representation of the workers. This eliminates the possibility of the company unilaterally approving the Plan.

Copulation of two male humpback whales captured for the first time

Posted on by Gayles.tv

Scientists have observed homosexual behavior in several marine species such as walruses, seals, dolphins, orcas and whales.

One of the animals that has given scientists the most heads is the Humpback whales, also known as megaptera novaeangliae. One of the largest cetaceans in the world, with a length of between 12 and 16 meters and more than 36.000 kg weight. However, its reproduction remained a reliable unknown: until now it had been impossible to capture two specimens maintaining sexual intercourse.

The most that had been achieved to date was to capture a male's penis in an image. A fact that will remain in the background after the discoveries of Lyle Krannichfeld i Brandi Romano, two American photographers who were able to immortalize the moment of intercourse in 2022. Still, what they did not expect to discover in the waters of Maui, the second largest island in Hawaii, is that those two whales were males.

This milestone has been captured, two years later, in an article that the researcher from the Pacific Whale Foundation Stephanie Stack has published for the magazine Marine Mammal Science. "Although we have long recognized the complex social structures of these incredible creatures, witnessing two male whales copulate for the first time is a unique and remarkable event.", wrote the scientist in her publication, this past Wednesday.

More common in groups

Stack reiterated that the sexual behavior of Humpback whales had turned out very “mysterious” to date, pointing out that this finding “Challenge preconceived notions about your behavior”. However, relationships and mating scenes between males of the same species are not a new issue in the animal world, much less in the marine environment with, for example, dolphins and orcas.

Likewise, a study of Superior Council of Scientific Investigations insisted that the homosexual behavior Among non-human mammals it is more common in social species, which interact within the same group. “It is an adaptation that plays an important role in maintaining social relationships in both sexes and mitigating conflicts mainly between males.", explained the main author of the study, Jose Maria Gomez.

The PP agrees with Vox to create a specific section in Valencian libraries for LGTBI books

Content on sexuality and diversity for young people returns to the Valencian parliamentary debate. The regional Parliament addresses the suitability of sexual education books with a focus LGBTI be accessible to minors in public libraries, a debate sparked by an extreme right initiative that follows in the footsteps of other reactionary governments. PP and Vox have approved in the Corts Valencianes that municipalities with more than 25.000 inhabitants have a specific section for this material that, after an amendment to the PP, gives rise to a text ambiguous enough to fit within the framework of the extreme right.

The popular amendment, accepted by its government partners Vox, leaves the initiative like this: the Corts urge public libraries to “the creation of a specific section on sexual, family, gender diversity, and sexual development that respects human rights”. The contents, the text continues, “They will be sequenced by educational levels and prepared under standardized criteria from a scientific, objective and non-doctrinal point of view in accordance with current regulations.".

PP and Vox propose creating specific sections for LGTBI books

Vox presented a text that, like Florida or Hungary, demanded that these contents be away from children's sections of public libraries. The group took the example of the local government of Burriana (Castellón), where they have powers in Culture, which ordered the removal of books with “sexual content"of the children's section and its transfer"to a new special area for adults that has been created for this purpose".

The far-right councilor Jesus Albiol, who is the same deputy who has defended the initiative in Corts, justified that the library law indicates that diversity content must be in a specific framework, but making a twisted use of language, links the material that addresses sexual identity or diversity education with sexual content for adults that harms “innocence” of the minors. Without mentioning it explicitly, it alludes to a material that in the imagination

Out of the reach of minors

The text presented by Vox consider the action of Burriana "an example for all municipalities in the region as a precise and effective measure to ensure the highest good of the minor and guarantee the freedom of parents” and considered these books a “type of materials" what "As requested by an important sector of the population and mainly families, it should be in places in the library in a specific section out of the reach of minors.".

Specifically, the wording defended by the ultras asks the Corts to urge the Consell to “request all public libraries in the Valencian Community, in municipalities with more than 25.000 inhabitants, to create a specific section and transfer to said section all library materials with content on sexual, family, and gender diversity.” and sexual development that respect human rights. This section must be independent from the rest of the sections, especially the children's section.”

By cons, Compromís and the PSPV They have demanded that library staff be allowed to place the material as they see fit, based on what the law establishes, and that they not “politically grope” the arrangement of books in public centers. Librarians have their own criteria for creating sections, insists the opposition, which has voted against this measure because it believes it is another step in the censorship carried out by the parliamentary extreme right.
