Gay Immigrants Romani people etc.: rights for all or nobody

Stories and News No. 768 Once upon a time there were the people of rights . That population was made up of many kind of persons. Different, despite appearances. So far, we are still in the land of banality. So be brave, let us strive to leave. Inside the people made up of many different persons, despite appearances, there were some who claimed to be in favor of migrants and the resulting free movement of survivals. Hopes. And the only possible future, where we are all equally guests. Nevertheless, at the same time, many of them stood up against the unpopular and uncomfortable inhabitant of lager 2.0. In short, Romani people . In other words: I'm not racist, I’m totally not, but the 'gypsies' ... At the same time, in the same people, perhaps even sitting alongside, there were those who screamed in defense of the latter: "Don’t say ‘ gypsies ’, that is offensive." However, seamless in the heart, the same persons were against any alternative to the ca...

Uganda Gay video letter from a civilized country

Stories and News No. 648 No, we are not as Uganda, where a tabloid publishes a list of the top 200 homosexuals. Watch the video We are a civilized country. No, we don’t do these things. Telling the truth, we too have our rankings. And what's wrong? There is nothing bad in classifying. The sin, where it is, concerns the object of contention. The reasons for the primacy of one over the other. It's all that, think about it. For example, speaking about press freedom ranking, it seems natural to me that provokes boast to the first as shame to last one. But these are the charts that divide. The rich from the poor. The north from the south. We do not, we in the civilized country are off these contentions. Because our freedom of the press has never been questioned. As well as freedom of religion and freedom of expression and opinion. Imagine the sex freedom. That’s why we are here to strongly reaffirm that we are not like them. Nevertheless, we are outraged and...

Different loves Preface by Barry Bradford

I have the honor and pleasure at the same time to share with you the wonderful preface that Barry Bradford wrote for my new book, Different loves , Tempesta Publisher : THE POWER OF LOVE OVERCOMES THE LOVE OF POWER In these four remarkable pieces, the power of love to transform the world is on full and radiant display. If you want to make a major change in the world, there are many forces that work more quickly than the power of love. Money and dynamite can change circumstances very quickly. However, to bring about lasting, meaningful, powerful, change, there is no more powerful force in the universe than the power of love. The powerful essay containing an imaginary ending to the trial of Edgar Ray Killen, a notorious leader of the Ku Klux Klan for the murders known as "Mississippi Burning" particularly touched me. I played a role in the reopening of the actual case that led to Killen’s conviction 41 years to the day that three good men – J. E. Chaney, Mickey Schwerne...

God is gay

Stories and News No. 468 Imagine that the God of Christians is homosexual, and so Jesus and the Virgin Mary. Let's assume, also, that in this different world the Catholic Church and all its believers consider homosexual marriage as the only true natural act. Now let’s suppose to live inside this alien society as heterosexual. Men or women, we would be physically attracted to persons of the opposite sex. Sooner or later we could fall in love with a girl or a boy. And maybe we could also feel the desire to give further meaning to our love giving birth to another life. So imagine that what best represents our humanity - the love for a partner and the desire to accompany the existence of a child - is hated by a great and hostile mass of people, formed by governments, institutions, politicians, ministers of religion, fervent believers and many ordinary people. Well, being hetero, I feel extremely lucky knowing that this story is only the fruit of my invention… Share the post:
