In the 21st century, the rights of the LGBTI collective are repeatedly violated.And despite this, many steps have been taken and many doors have been opened to the collective and the road has not been easy.For this reason, It is worth remembering the history of LGTB : the struggle for equality .
The history of LGTB: the struggle for equality
The history of the LGTB : the struggle for equality begins by defining the acronyms that accompany the flag of the collective, namely: L ( Lesbians ), G ( Gays ), T ( Transsexuals ) and B ( Bisexuals ).A group that has historically been mistreated and despised but, little by little, has been conquering milestones until reaching unthinkable rights does not do much.
The history of the LGTB : the fight for equality is a story of injustices , attacks, murders and how An entire minority collective has rebelled against a society that could only accept them.Despite this, this same society continues to deprive them of other milestones to add to their achievements, but the LGBTI collective continues to struggle.
In fact, during the month of June there is the majority of claims and symbolic acts of the collective .That is, they are complemented with several holidays in full celebration of Gay Pride.The election of the month does not It is casual and full of symbolism, as we will see later.
First of all, it's time to go back to at the end of the 19th century when the first claims of the homosexual group begin .then, homosexuality was a crime in many countries, so gays hid their cond icion, at least most of the time.
Obviously, the collective's first conspiracy was to seek the decriminalization of their condition .In fact, at the beginning of the 20th century they began to forming the first groups of people who asked that homosexuality cease to be a crime.Curiously, it was in Germany where all these movements were created, thanks to people like Heinrich Hossli or Karoly Maria Kertbeny .
Up to that point came the union of these groups, that in them people of opposite political ideologies met, but united for a common purpose, the recognition of the rights of the LGTB collective.
Thus, with more and more people joining the cause, These associations began to carry out cultural actions with the aim of settling in society.Funciono.Realizaban encu They went in, watched movies or read homosexual themed books.Such was the impact that the German government decriminalized homosexuality but destiny wanted the Crack of 29 to arrive and everything would be paralyzed .
And even worse, after the crisis of 29, I bring the rise of the Nazi Party, the coming to power of Adolf Hitler and all the cultural and social advances achieved, disappeared, giving way to a World War II that would be fateful for Germany .
With Hitler dead and the Nazi Party defeated, the LGTB Movement recovers its projects and in 1945 it begins to generalize what they came to call the ' Movement Homophile '.Basically, someone homophile is the one who loves a similar one.The discourse of the collective, rather than in the same sex, was based on love, tolerance and Respect.
Despite being a moderate and low profile movement, Germany laid the foundations of the Homophilic Movement in other countries. United States , Netherlands , The United Kingdom and Denmark also joined the demands of Germany, and they also did it from a cultural field, making the leap to gay themed magazines.A real revolution.
However, it is in the United States where the fact that changed history occurs.in Greenwich Village , New York , on June 28, 1969 .That same year, the community had begun known as the Gay Liberation Movement.
At the Stonewall Inn , a New York-based venue , there was a bestial police raid that I end up in disturbances during the following 72 hours .It was the first time that the homosexual group stood up to the police abuses.It was the spark that lit the fuse that had been waiting for decades.
From At that time, the birth of LGBT organizations multiplied .The impact was of such caliber that they decided to form the Gay Liberation Front (GLF) in New York, where the incident with the police had taken place.The message was clear, the collective had rebelled and they were not going to step back.
In addition, the citizenship , until that moment outside the matter, began to get involved , to give an opinion, even to collaborate with the collective.
The echoes of the Stonewall Inn incident began to spread throughout the world.The initiatives that were being taken in New York were copied in countries like Canada , Countries Low , Belgium , France , Kingdom United , Argentina or Australia , among others.The claims were simple and clear: to have the same rights as any other citizen.
And so, with the LGTB collective coordinated, motivated and mobilized, a year of the Stonewall Revolt was fulfilled .Obviously, the day I changed everything, I deserved an onomastics in style.And so it was.The GLF organized a peaceful march throughout New York to which more than 5,000 people attended .Something unthinkable not so long ago.
Since that time, June 28, 1970 , it is a tradition to commemorate the Stonewall Revolt , which has now been converted on Gay Pride Day, however, the party has become a benchmark of such caliber, which lasts for several days, having June 28 as the big day, around which everything revolves.
Today, the homosexuali dad is no longer considered a crime in most European and American countries so, obviously, the claims have made a leap in quality.Now, the LGTB collective seeks their right to marriage or union civil , whatever you want to call it, between people of the same sex.A claim that, in Spain, has been approved since October 2004 .
On the other hand, the LGTB collective also aspires to a real equality of rights in matters of inheritance , adoptions or security social .That is to say, the struggle for equality continues and the history of the LGBT continues to be written
