ETERNO MUNDO GAY

Ryan Gosling has once again professed his love for new Doctor Who star Ncuti Gatwa after being spotted wearing his face on a t-shirt.

The internet was sent into a frenzy in June when Gosling was pictured in the unofficial merch, with returning Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies jokingly threatening to send the actor a cease and desist.

Now, Gosling has opened up about his love for Gatwa.

Appearing on The One Show, Gosling said: “Ncuti, I am such a big fan of Ncuti’s, he is the coolest and him playing Doctor Who is like the most exciting thing that’s happening right now, so I’m here for it.”

Gosling and Doctor Who fans united in their adoration for the love-fest between the two actors.

FIRE ISLAND

Durante más de 60 años, las lesbianas y los hombres gays acudieron a este banco de arena desolada al sur de Long Island, sin caminos ni electricidad (hasta 1960), con el fin de ser ellos mismos.

En Cherry Grove, escribe Esther Newton, "podríamos ser cariñosos en público sin arriesgarse a una golpiza, hablar en un tono normal durante la cena y salir a caminar, dejar las cortinas abiertas cuando nos daba la gana - en pocas palabras, nos comportábamos como la mayoría de los americanos todo el tiempo pero sin preocuparnos."

Por los años 60's emergio un grupo de promotores inmobiliarios y empresarios que ofrecian alojamiento y entretención específicamente a gays. Esto convirtió el Grove "en la meca nacional del turismo gay".

THE LGBT CREATIVE SCENE IN MEXICO

From women’s weaving co-operatives to a clothes shop with a great gay history, San Cristóbal de las Casas is a glorious hub for creative arts and crafts.

Mexico is known for its colourful textiles and Chiapas is no exception – there’s an abundance of boutique shops in San Cristóbal, often selling hand-woven crafts made by indigenous women’s co-operatives in neighbouring towns. It’s also possible to visit one of these yourself on a tour to Zinacantán but take note of community rules on photography and respecting privacy.

Back in San Cristóbal, be sure to visit the Aula P’ejel shop, which opened just over a year ago and has a wonderful story behind it. Set up by a man who was rejected by his family for being gay, it now employs women artists, giving many of them an opportunity to escape abusive relationships. It’s in a shared space where you can try arts workshops, meet local artists and even have lunch.

Lili Elbe (1882 - 1931) fue la primera persona conocida en ser el destinatario de una cirugía de cambio de sexo. Había nacido en Dinamarca y fue identificado como varón al momento de su nacimiento. Nacido como Einar Mogens Wegener, se identificó como varón la mayor parte de su vida y fue un artista de considerable éxito con dicho nombre. Sin embargo, luego de las cirugías se dio en llamar Lili (algunas fuentes la citan como Lily) Elbe.
