I am 24 years old I am a journalist and well my
talk today is called closet is
just for clothes forgiveness
I’m gay but rest assured that here I’m not going
to infect anything and that in fact the
May 17 , 1990 the general assembly
of the world health organization
and everything to homosexuality from your list
of psychiatric diseases
I’m not crazy either, if it were a
excuse
sorry if it was a disease could
use it as an excuse to miss the
job
how many times do you want because you only call
well hello I’m gay can not go to work
and day and did not have to pay the
day that I am missing parts and it
I will assure you that all of you
they would be infected because I can
assure them that they have interacted
time in your life knowing it or not with
someone from the community
the ft iq is gay lesbian bisexual
trans and intersexuals that used to be the
hermaphrodites and the clubs that is a
category a little wider agreement
in baskets I’m going to repeat a lot of these
five letters
I feel like sometimes people think that
we seek that they do not tolerate me
that word particularly I do not like
because he does not tolerate something that does not end
fully convince that you tolerate it
because now we want us to
Respect
we want them not to judge us and at worst
of the cases we want that we do not
mistreat that they do not hit us that we do not
assassinate that they do not kill us
in fact if this society were more
tolerant today my community
I would have 99 more people
99 people who were killed here
in Peru since 2008 to date
just for being those who were lesbians
gay transsexuals and nine lives already
They’re not here
I
I realized that I was gay from very
little kid I’ve always liked
the things that for a lot of the
society are considered as just
girl, I loved getting into the room
my sister play with her barbies and I do not know
can play the office at the little school
and the fact prowling the exterminator
head and a mosque but but I
agreement that I liked to create stories
with them
my parents never had a problem
with how I expressed my own way of
be in school in elementary school
in a very small school we were 16
people per room we know each other from
lifetime
then it was not a matter if I
I wanted to play with the girls some
girl wanted to play soccer with the
Boys
nothing is jana instead in 6th my parents
they decided to change me to a school
state were 45 students per classroom
four sections per year shift tomorrow
late the first months I devoted myself to
study for the abrupt change of
environment and was known as the chubby
chancón of the lounge and a little chubby
before but then I affectionate the
infection of my voice the way that I
I go to my hands finally the way
the one that was me condemned me to move to
be the chubby chankom make the chubby
fagot
it was the first time they insult me
cabree rosquete mexico but rible up
want to cut a pencil to the room because
you knew you were going to walk and lined up
scream fa and everyone is going to laugh
now it makes me laugh but at that moment
I would have loved to have the courage to
face who insulted me the
recess past reading harry potter o
locked in a room because in a
moment where I feel I felt
especially vulnerable because no
there was the guardianship of a bullying teacher
for me it is to feel afraid of your
comrades because they want to attack
simply by whom according to a
unesco report 2003 is called
It was like every day to go to
slaughterhouse a 67 points 7 percent
non-heterosexual students have
suffered bullying in their schools
in fact it was part of that figure I made
for capable students have also been
bullying is that is what many
professors when I tried to report
they said they are things of boys nothing happens
and unfortunately a percentage is
number may end with children being
they kill themselves and they kill themselves because they no longer
can stand the harassment of their schools
that’s why when your instinct
you asked me today were how many days
missing for school said 87
missing 15 days until 10 knew that
I wanted a new start xavi was already
tired of having to hide myself
finally not being able to be me and
express myself freely in the university
it was my time to leave the closet
to come out of the closet and to be able to be
I finally with all my beings
Dear and boring live two lives
aside how lazy to have two facebook e
iu and i took it like that with my family it was not
really nothing difficult to my son already
I knew that a rafa gomáriz friends and with
my dad was the one who took a little more
of time but finally one day
close to life I agree prepared a
super breakfast we were only two
and he sat me in the same room we have to
talk now and I did not live with them I would
I call only and every time someone
I said of my parents we have to talk
it’s because I had broken a rate there
made some mischief in the house threw
to sleep nothing else have done nothing and
we go in everything and he told me I’m proud
of having a gay son and he got
I also started crying and
even though there was jam or a lot
the tears were the most
sweet breakfasted with my friends
It was not difficult either because the truth
that did not lose any and if the worst and in
truth that it warns me because I did not know
that we were friends because it was not so
close to me I liked it now good but
before when I learned to the
television when I was younger what
we saw in a program like laughter and
sauces that homosexuals were only
used to stereotype the was the
typical mariconcito that his day and what
used to mock him for
perpetuate stereotypes and prejudices
Today I’m glad that a child of 5
10 years 15 or to turn on the TV and can
see that there is not only one congressman but
two congressmen in Peru who are
openly homosexuals
I liked that one thinks now that
only homosexuals are
intended to make hairdressers or
stylists spent hours watching tutorials
of makeup and on the internet but it was not
what I wanted to do for de carmen the
life and I think it’s important that they know
that there are many
there are many more options as I said
we are everywhere and in any
profession they want and there is someone who
it’s the ft that performs doing that
I liked it too thanks to internet
that the kids can know in I do not know
what two presenters of the oscar have
been openly homosexuals that
read and patrick harris in these
olympics at least six athletes that are
openly new the bosses have been able or
earn medals and are proud of their
countries
I think it’s important that people
can search and can know that the
differences are not a conviction if they are not
on the contrary
now I am going to tell you a little about my
I am like, and I am a journalist and
two years ago with a partner from
work was a page that is called without
labels that tells stories of
people the ft
we wanted to realize that in the
press are we were only news when
we were killed and titled with
macabre murder
highlighting the goat with another color
obviously or we exterminate in some
television media scandal
we thought there were people who
they did incredible things and that gave the
coincidentally they were gay or lesbian or
trans and those stories are we
counting thanks to a network of
journalists in Latin America we could
form this page and now we count
after two years we have discovered
that there are many things that do not
they also count some months ago
premiere a web documentary series that
call seven and a quarter that is a the
name because it is the time where one
comes home and can finally be one
same
many times in which the goal of
these videos is to show you that we are not
so different that your taxi driver can be
a trans guy and you never gave yourself
mind that it can be the person who is
the show at the marriage of his sister and
you also did not realize that the boss
it can be recorded music on
conservatory acoustic guitar that
they touch between church and you did not give
mind that she was a trans woman
this is a little of what I do and good
finally a little to go closing
I would also like to tell someone
If there is any question here , how is it
life would change if I left the closet
at some point the only thing that
could say is that on this side the
closet
life is more beautiful than a hernia
closet is only for clothes and that
finally we are everywhere and not
they are going to get rid of us in fact
While there have been 20 sex
so it’s up to you
we are reproducing you have created us
and although they are the super cheesy and we are
in the same world you have to learn to
embrace diversities and love us and
respect each other which is what
finally we look for
Thank you
[Applause]
