In the life experience of lesbians, gays, Trans people, Bisexuals, Intersexes, etc., violence and discrimination still appear regularly.Our society maintains heterosexuality as a mandatory compliance norm and generally looks differently at what is not within "its normality", including with physical, verbal and symbolic violence against people whose sexual orientation and gender identity or expression is manifested in different from the so-called "natural".In recent years, the initials of the group have been used to include in an inclusive way all the individuals and communities that identify with it or those who have doubts about their sexuality and / or gender identity.The fundamental rights and dignity of each person must be the central axes on which any decent society is built.This commemoration is not only aimed at the LGTBI community but for all those who want to live freely, without complexes, in an environment of Equality and respect for everyone.For all these reasons, we encourage you to make these days in which June 28 "International LGBTI Pride Day" is commemorated, from the respect and freedom that all the citizens of Totana deserve.We want to show our solidarity to all the people affected by this pandemic and to their families and to thank the work, dedication and commitment of the health, cleaning, security forces and other institutions, as well as all the staff of stores and supermarkets.
food, transportation, pharmacies, essential infrastructure.We send a message of encouragement to all the people that the pandemic has left in a vulnerable situation.Today I am here representing the collective and especially as it is the year of women, each and every one of them.We have to love each other more, to love the inside, the outside, the one who thinks differently, that is RESPECT.Respect diversity, ourselves and our environment, through our love, our smiles, our hugs, with all our hearts.It is time to recover good feelings and help us to be happy, whatever we are, wherever we come from and wherever we go.Happy LGBTIQ + Pride Day
