A new era has begun and a new chance for sexual minorities also begins. The gay, bisexual and transgender community wants to fight back misrepresentation as a way to minimise discrimination.
As a social minority this is part of our effort to improve people' s understanding of our sexuality. It is also an attempt to end homophobia and any form of violence toward us.
Our aim is to end stereotypes and misconceptions through the spread of factual knowledge. Our project also wants to be a celebration of the way we love and how we enjoy our bodies.
We are very proud of who we are, how we feel and what we do.We consider we are not heard the way we want in society. The future is ahead of us and we shall be in every institution fighting hard for our community.
As it happened in the past with others we will obtain full rights and our detractors won't have a choice to deny us what we deserve. Our goals are to fight for a law of marriage, for an educational system that treats all sexualities as equal, for better social and health services for us and especially for HIV patients and transsexuals.
We want full adoption rights and support for alternative forms of parenthood and motherhood. We will try our best to declare homophobia what exactly is, a crime against freedom and against humanity.
Poem
That strange world around us that keeps judging our love.
Who is right is to say that we are not good, that we don't belong.
If they just walked in our shoes and felt through our skin.
They will see our feelings are larger than the Universe and stronger than a rock.
Massacred and persecuted in the past, the day when we can be free will come.
The bigots will fall and we will fill every corner of the world, without shame, without having to ask for permission.
Our moon will be conquered soon. From every nation and every colour we will be a global family.
No longer hidden, no longer in fear we will be equal.Never again we will make apologies for what we are.
Never again we will taste the bitterness of hatred. Tomorrow the gloom inside the closet will no longer exist and we will love and desire without fear.
Tomorrow a red bright sun will shine over our children
The hypocrites that hurt our bodies and give grief to our souls will receive the cruelty they give us. The world of horror they have created for us is over.
