On Saturday afternoon to our email was sore and sad message of a fellow activist Cali, Report of the heinous murder of Alvaro Miguel Rivera , a defender of human rights of LGBT people and HIV.
In the last year and more than 8 hate crimes occurred in our country, of which we are aware, or otr * s activists who have dared to complain, as in the case of Diana Navarro in the neighborhood of Santafe the location of the Martyrs, which has made the task of reporting on each of the violations that are referred by the public authorities and persons homotransfóbicas, trans girls in this sector.
is very sad to hear of this kind, but even worse, when we look inside and think "did nothing" or question us about the way we thought and almost over and with great frustration we crashed against the inexorable truth ... We really have not done even half ...
have a public policy and a favorable judgments for our rights is a big advantage is the result of a struggle and a wise and intelligent work, but not everything. Reality is not made definite by requiring that go beyond the March for LGBT Citizenship or Homophobia Non Gala ... beyond to be part of a political party or a work table ... beyond our organizations and a * s few leaders and women leaders ...
During the last two years we have been experiencing a process of maturation that has not come to an end, because we easily forget how we got here or other interests intersect we do not take into account the groups, as many times we say, but we start talking or working from another bank. But this is happening not have to move, we have to transform, must lead us to think this work and the industry from the possibility, now, if you recognize, with all our differences, our interests, our life stories and think This city needs to listen, this country needs to know that if people grieve for torture physical, psychological, sexual, professional, family and morality, which are subjected daily * s thousands of people who like Alvaro Miguel, want a different life, which are allowed to be.
We have a responsibility, let's face it, retomémosla, face it and work together * s. .. so it is not only the pain that moves us, but people who are waiting because this country is aware of who we are.
