Love is Love

Love, such a weird and crazy word. In this moment, Love can mean war as Helena of Troya with Paris did it or, can mean a fight as LGBTIQ+ does since the begging of the world. And, for  this time, I’m gonna tell you about the last mean of Love, which is for me the more important at this point ‘cause as a member of LGTBIQ+ community I know for first experience how difficult is to love someone without suffers any consequence.

The word Love becomes a consignee for our community for many reasons but, for the context of this blog I only talk about one. Since the begging of LGBTIQ+ history, the fight for our rights, for example:  civil rights,   non discrimination right, HIV policy, Health and socialcares as the same for Straight people; Love mean the main consignee of fight ‘cause if we search deeply, we can find how this word can move mountain (very cliché but it’s true) or move a movement. After Stonewall event, every year so many organizations around the world, join and celebrate June as the Pride Month (because is the month when the tragic and history event happened) and the consignee of this Pride March is “Love is Love”, which wants to represent our desire to loves whoever we want with non-restriction (obviously, this cannot misunderstand as libertinage) and non-fear to be punished for this Straight and Patriarchal society as we usually received since we came out.

Anyway, back in topic of the blog. I never felt in love for someone yet but I don’t refuse to being love because, let’s be honest, everyone wants to be love, feels that someone takes care of you, support and trust in you. I think it’s nice feels that kind of feeling. In my experience of fail relationship (well, it’s only two haha so dramatic) I found how this model of society conditioned to do something and no to do. For example, when I was in a relationship, we never walk with our hand together ‘cause we didn’t want to be punished or any stuff. Or, when we had a date, only go to places we knew were gayfriendly (of course, we had to pay more because are localized in fancy neighborhoods like Lastarria, Bellavista, Los leones, etc.) So, besides to hide we had to pay more to be safe.
