Once ist was the color of the skin, today God knows what...

There are so many things that were thought to get into this series of pages called blog and never succeeded because of my lazyness...or maybe because of my bad memory...so many times happened that I thought that those few thoughts I have had on the streets, should have been put on the blog...but then, back home, they were not clear enough anymore or not there...well, the difference between confusion and not remembering could be also considered debatable...no?

I read a couple of days ago, maybe more, an article on the TAZ that talked about the (depressing) condition of many gay-lesbian communities in many Eastern European Countries. The article described the gloomy and intollerant environment that surrounds them in Moscow and in Warsaw, in Bratislava and in Belgrade, apparently with the only exception of Prague. Being hit when they demonstrate or try to gather in public places, not considered 100% believers or citizens with their rights both by the Catholic (Poland) and the Orthodox (Russia) Church, it is such a unacceptable condition for them.
A sad story that has more to do with ignorance and a very slow and problematic development of the civil society, probably. So sad...
Few days ago a few european politicians demonstrated in Russia together with some activists of the local gay-lesbian community...what they got for sure was to be beaten by the police and to be brought to the police station where few have been arrested. Have a look.
Half of the states that were in the list of the TAZ article are at least since 5 months members of the EU...this problem has less to do with the sexual tastes of people and much more to do with the rights of every citizen of this as-a-paradise-described EU...have a look on the web, there is some stuff to read.


By the way: I have found a bycicle, I have probably found a non-paid internship for the summertime and I am so in love with the city where I live.
Hope you are all doing all right.
Take care.
