These are the typical questions about LGBT+ Pride ¡And there is no need to remain silent as an answer!
You know that from this blog always advocates stylistic freedom, emocional, policy ¡and of course sexual! That is why during the month of June I intensely support the LGTB+ Pride that extends throughout the world. I think that continuing to raise awareness is essential and that is why I wanted answer six questions you always plan around Pride celebrations.
¿proud of what?
Rae defines pride as «Feeling of satisfaction with the achievements, own abilities or merits or something what a person feels concerned«. ¡I don't understand why that word has always generated so much controversy! No, I'm not proud of what I feel, or someone wanting to sleep with the same sex, how I would feel not prefer chocolate ice cream lemon. What I am proud of is to fight every day for these achievements and continue by confronting people who want us to believe that we are «diferentes» (in the meaning of the term derogatory).
¿I can't be proud of being straight?
Sin duda, we all struggle day by day to accept ourselves – working on self-esteem is an intrinsic struggle of the human being – but the LGBT + community must, además, break prejudices, fears, rejection and injustice simply by being themselves. I am proud to say “we are here”, and fighting for those barriers that we increasingly are smaller. Y por supuesto, Be proud of being straight or gay, High or low, strong or weak, malafollá or sense of humor. We should all be proud of ourselves, ¡sin más! ¡But in no case should anyone make us feel that we are less than the others.!
¿Why so much fuss if you already have many rights?
When you stop calling a fag football referee, when you stop calling camionera girls playing soccer, when you do not throw home or work to love someone of the same sex, when people accept and understand that the genitals may not correspond with how we define ourselves mentally, when no matter what your sexual orientation to rent an apartment, or not you stick a beating to go hand in hand with your partner through the center of the city… (And this without going into countries where homosexuality is punishable by death)… maybe LGTB+ Pride is over. Meanwhile, ¡let's go out on the street! ¡let's scream! ¡Bailemos! ¡let's kiss in public! ¡Let's debate with our environment to make us understand! ¡Let's put an end to many prejudices! We are here and we are alive, ¡let the whole world see!
But if you're okay, ¿why do you manifest? (a.k.a but if you are not you note)
I'm fine, claro, from this, my pulpit, where I have people who love me accepts and supports. Pero, ¿and the rest of the world? I am one of those who recycle, of consuming moda aware, but do not drive there I do not like traffic, I'm not a woman but I fight for your rights…I manifest myself and make myself visible because I am proud to try to pave the way for those who will come, as I thank those who paved for me. And I do like to have pen, which are machotes, young boys, greater, men or women. I fight for what I believe, not only because of what I suffer.
The pride parade does not represent me…
¿Celebrating that we love ourselves and the achievements that the community achieves is not a matter of joy? I do not like the beach, and I'm not going, I do not like the sand and sun, but I do not "deny her"” nor do I consider that those who are passionate about it are less right than I am. ¿Why throw stones at something that helps a collective? ¿Your tastes or preferences are better, more valid or more important than those of others? ¿That's not what we're fighting these days? Y por cierto, Pride LGTB + is not a parade, ¡it's a demonstration! It is not mandatory to go. everyone should do what you like and be true to your conscience. But remember that if these people «do not represent» I would not have made visible and fought for the community now probably would be in the closet or worse, enclosed by vague or maleante.
¿And the rest of the year you are not proud?
When I hear this question I think that the spear is assholes. ¿You only want your mother on the first Sunday of May? ¿To your partner the 14 February? O ¿You are only a soccer fan when the World Cup is celebrated? The LGTB+ Pride actions are carried out in June due to the commemoration of “The Stonewall riots” that they were a serie of spontaneous and violent demonstrations against a police raid that took place in the early hours of 28 de junio de 1969 in the pub known as Stonewall Inn (Nueva York). As Wikipedia asserts “These disturbances often cited as the first time, in US history, that the LGBT community fought against a system that persecuted homosexuals with government blessing, and they are generally recognized as the catalyst for the modern LGBT rights movement worldwide”.
