The gay parade "Pride" 30 years? "

Exit the streets shouting rights gays, violating the rights of those who are not gay is it a pride?, hide behind the guise imaginary character Is proud ?, root a color label is it a pride?, be part of monopolies and ghettos is it a pride?, belong to the acronym GLBTTT is it a pride?, the march turned in advertising struggles sonideros and is it a pride? Well pride or pride, next Saturday 28 June in the city of Mexico take out the edition 30 the Gay Pride March, the which holds the slogan "Diversity is the Movement." As each year meeting point will the Angel of Independence and later walking toward the Zócalo, where after reaching quotas be held a festival, which is give recognition to musician Horacio France by his 30 year career. This

next march, organizing committee (COMAC) aims to rescue activism through individual participation, to demand full equality for the brake the raids, and for our needs.

" The idea is to return the march to the collective who are interested to come and participate in the march. It must be remembered in history to not lose track " said Lol Kin Castañeda, Mexico Pride Committee Chair (COMAC). Source: NOTIMEX "

The march gay do you really is Pride?

"" Pride or shame " " march, carnival or street nightclub " " activities or publications " , " Sexual Culture or Culture playful" ? .

In this post I will make a small collection of some views on the subject march gay this compilation of opinions was extracted some blogs and sites of the Internet, which be cited at the end of each opinion:

I think that as gay, have a responsibility to enforce our rights every day, and to respect others who do not share our sexuality or style of life, but that is the least is in progress, respect, or heterosexuals (in the gay community, are called "bugas") or ourselves.

There is a deep division between the groups that make up the contingent and more than a protest demanding rights, is a carnival that only contributes to prevail prevailing stereotypes about homosexuality. What is the purpose of going dressed extravagantly, if not live every day? Why dress up to get attention? I mean, to newspaper photographers took a picture of people dressed as a woman, or who go naked, and that's what's in the note, and so they think we all are, when it is not.

"Anonymous "

"The response to the marches has been increasingly massive issue. I, something that I loathe the marches in Mexico is to develop it into a nightclub. Sound at full volume, but it is not Carnival is actually carried into the street club. I think the important thing to make a carnival of diversity, but not a nightclub on the street, because you do not hear slogans and a company is competing with another to see who has the volume stronger and who meet more people, which disappears around activism. I think it must be the March carnival and other companies are but not make it a business fight, which will lower the sound for those who want to talk and listen to each other. It must rethink the marches for us all to manifest, but there's more to culture than the disk. We're turning the sexual culture in a culture of record. "

I've never been against the carnival, dancing, kissing. What does seem to me a mockery of the companies that require their business because the liberation movement do not care. This is because when lesbians and gays be like cualquier hijo de vecino ya no vamos a ser tan buen negocio.

Lo primero que se me ocurrió fue: ¿por qué no poner Lesbiana, Gay, Bisexual, Transgenerista? ¿Por qué utilizar las siglas académicas con las que se nos designa más que como individuos, como objetos de estudio?

"Simona Wing " Lesbicario

I find it completely obnoxious see news coverage of the march of "Gay Pride" where show a lot of transvestites and transgender, almost naked, with only their "nipples" covered. The truth is that these events away from me with some kind of pride, I am filled with shame, they continue to show a side to help with the stigmatization of the gay population, which eventually becomes the image and that you have that sexual condition inevitably leads down a path of exhibitionism free and mannerisms without remedy, that being gay is just a party girl, androgynous attitude, when really there is a wide range of wildlife too gay.

I am not opposed to people to express themselves the way you want, I'm in favor of it, free speech, what I like is to mix and confuse the issues, saying that "gay pride march "citing the idea of \u200b\u200bequality and acceptance by society is that it seems fake and unrealistic, because what they do is far from that, it's just a street party with entertainment of disco.

" Anonymous "Feel Fear

intelligence disguised intolerance is very hurtful - I wonder, why not just accept people and how is it? Why not leave alone the diversity? Why have you so afraid of what is different?

still remember the case of a childhood friend, a mild-mannered child who his father once told after slapping him, "... if you bitches bother me k k're not gay This bothers me k is k do you insist on notice ... "

Sometimes the visible subjectivities" unofficial "and move the monster disrupts people's" socially correct ". I move, because plays the part we all have to "abnormality", the part that we endeavor to keep hidden and that makes us doubt our own existence.

"Anonymous " Constructor bodies

Wear three consecutive years to attend as a spectator and three years of attending to march not have seen anything I represent some pride, I have not seen in these marches cultural information about what is "sexual diversity", there brochures that explain or define what is be Homosexual , Lesbian, Transsexual, transvestite, Transgender, Ahh and another term that heard in the gay community who are "Dragonfly" (a term used to describe children Cabaretito) so I think that the heterosexual society that ignores these concepts and attends or is on its way to the parade alebriges of human remains with feeling of see beings rare beings from another planet that never in his life had seen and now far from being frightened, feel by curious to know why is that?, "were born or made?, Where have been hiding?, Are they good or bad?. I think this

annual parade, in the early years was a very important event and really active, but is now only a matter to exercise, take lots of pictures, see guys (as) showing her hot body magazine, receive condoms, lubricants , T and other objects that business monopolies distributed during the course of the event.

I think it would a good idea that at least by that days the businesses and organizations participating of this event, donate part of their advertising brochures an information brochure on a topic of many topics ranging what the Sexual Diversity; likewise, the clubs, bars and other spaces entertainment for gays, is also becoming for only that day, in museums recreational information, giving accommodate the culture and promote well a Social integration.

Marching or not go, That is the dilemma

Many the reasons or pretexts favor and against attend this event so popular as controversial, exciting and fun, where the joke, the furtive glances, meetings and disagreements loving are the perfect excuse to go once a year closet life everyday.

Why Exit to go?

Because "you're proud (a) if what you are, because you are not proud (a) and want to be, because you want to know what it is, because the only way to defend our rights is by demonstrating that are many (as), because you got fired at your job for being gay or lesbian, because as people going to the march does not represent you and you're going to represent yourself (a), because they are your friends, because want to have fun, because you have the right to civil marriage, because you're curious, because you want to dance, because you have nothing better to do, because you want to share your partner's social work, because a boyfriend (a) wants you, because you want to have the same rights as heterosexual people, it is important to our presence in society, because you want to meet a (a) ex still gives you around, because you think you can help that most adolescents do not commit suicide for being gay or lesbian, because you are going to introduce someone, because you feel good, because you want to meet people, to meet your friends, because you support organizations that defend your rights because your partner died and you stay up without the right to decide on its ashes (although he or she ever would have asked that you spread on more special place ...) because it makes you feel good because they give you can not buy condoms, because you want to see the spectacular masks and costumes that leads many people because you're a lesbian, because you are a transvestite, because you are transgender, because you are bisexual, because you are gay, for straight, because you want to see many kids (as) handsome (as), because you feel like ... "

not go out go because ...

"do not like word up, because they prefer to rest, because the sun hurts you, because you do not like walking, because you think it is the only way to defend your rights and the rights of gay people like you, because from the private think you do enough, because they want to go to a carnival poorly planned, because you will not receive a million fliers, because they want news that you see your mom, because you think you're entitled to keep your sexual orientation in the area of \u200b\u200byour privacy, because they want to wear a shirt that says you are "different" because they want to carry flags of militant or walk, because you're tired of being an activist or do not want to be, because they want to label with the acronym academic and say nothing cooler than you (LGBTTT), why not share that way of expression, because you think you do not have to identify with others to validate what you are, because they do not want, because you are not summoned, because they believe in the marches, because they want to meet someone because you do not believe that being gay or lesbian makes you "special" because they do not believe that the "gay pride", because it seems a copy of statements from other countries has nothing to do with yours, because it seems in bad taste, because they want to walk, because you have no one to go, because you would rather see on the news, because it is always the same, because you went to last because they never go to any, because you think it is a commercial guise, because you think it accomplishes nothing, because you think separates us from the rest of society by establishing an "us" and "other" because they think we're a community because if your girlfriend (or) is a militant activist respects you if you're not and does not want to "convert", you do not know what it is, you do not know what the point of encounter, because it seems that although people share a taste for same-sex group that does not make us ... or because you simply do not cause ... "

And then, in front of many reasons why go or not go, get involved or passing by, I wonder if anyone has thought to remain indifferent to the rallies, activities, even to other homosexuals, is also a respectable choice ....

"Simona Wing " Lesbicario

Simona Winng in his post "Pride And where I go there?" , ago an interesting question: What effect do you think producing appointed itself (o) DIFFERENT being gay?

I think that we Different, but not by our sexual orientation (homosexual, Straight, Lesbian, Transvestite, Transsexual or Transgender ) are different because we have an identity person more that gender and are different because we unique in our thinking and feeling ..

And you, do you think?

up Is Gay Pride is or is not pride?, What is be gay?, Do you think we need of a place to combat stigma, the discrimination and promote equality of of rights?.

" A father Different "Video Antidepressant

Augusto Odone

doctor Without being created Lorenzo's oil to combat the incurable disease of their child and inspired a movie. Now continues his fight to help others. He writes the book he promised before his death Lorenzo.

" I am a father. And my involvement in the disease called A drenoleucodistrofia (ALD) is not the love of science but of love for my son Lorenzo and my desire to help "Augusto Odone said the magazine New Scientist a few years ago. Odone, with his wife, Michelle, became world famous for finding a treatment for incurable disease of their son Lorenzo. While in 1992, Nick Nolte and Susan Sarandon took their story to the movies in the movie "Lorenzo's Oil."

History

In the fall of 1983 had just returned to live in Washington, DC, with Lorenzo, his son five years, having spent three Comoros islands, facing the east coast of Africa. Augusto, who worked as an economist at the World Bank, had gone to that land to prepare a development plan for the fledgling republic.

Michaela and Augusto were married in 1977. Lorenzo, his only son, was born the following year (May 29, 1978), when Michael was 39, Augustus 45.

Under

the African sun, the boy had made strong climbing trees and swimming like a native. In his household spoke English, French and Italian Lorenzo dominated the three languages. He also had a good ear for music.

" Our son was a godsend " Michaela account. " had come into our mature years, and I really adored him ."

Then, for no apparent reason, the nightmare began. Slowly at first, so that only his parents noticed the child began to drag the words. Then came the tantrums. When I went to the bathroom at school, wandered.

Concerned, his mother took him to practice some studies, but the neurologists found him completely healthy. Felt that it was likely that Lorenzo was hyperactive, and nothing else.

One day in late 1983, the child was on the phone with his grandmother, and unexpectedly handed the headset to Michaela:

- not know what you're talking my grandmother "he said, exasperated.

performed Hearing tests revealed that Lawrence had suffered a loss of 50 decibels of hearing acuity.

prognosis. Looking for another opinion, Odone took their son to Children's National Medical Center in Washington, where Dr. Donald Fishman, a pediatric neurologist, called for blood tests and CT. The Odone never forget that day in April 1984, when Fishman cited them in his office.

- I have very bad news "he said. Lorenzo suffers a rare disease called adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), that progressively destroys the brain's white matter. There is no cure for ALD. Your child will miss the speech, vision, motor function and, finally, die.

parents listened in disbelief. - much time is left of life ? Augusto asked at last.

- The average among these patients is two years "replied the doctor.

When they left, dazed with shock, the same idea occurred to them both: that Dr. Fishman had made a mistake.

Disease

disease portrayed in the movie is called adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD). This disease is due to loss of lipid from the myelin sheath surrounding neurons (thin cells of the brain). Neurons, of course, allow us to think, that we move and we do all voluntary and involuntary functions of our body (eg, control our muscles).

"Leuco" is white (referring to the myelin covering neurons), while "dystrophy" refers to "abnormal development." Although there are many different symptoms of ALD is shown in the film begin at age 5 to 12 and death occurs within a couple of years (Moser, 1997). Symptoms (dementia, vision loss, hearing loss, loss of speech and the ability to walk) are attributed to the solubility and loss of myelin sheath around nerve cells by an accumulation of saturated fatty acids of very long chain (VLCSFAs) in the body.

In the same way as for the transmission of impulses in an electrical cord are essential appropriate insulating layer (more when we're talking, for example, a cable that transmits information, such as the telephone or a TV antenna), the neurons are coated with myelin to allow electrochemical signals that travel through the nerve cell is not lost on the road. But not only makes insulating paper, but functions as an intensifier of signals along axons.

Miracle

A Augusto doctors told her that her son lost speech, vision, motor function and, finally, die in a period not exceeding two years. Lorenzo was six years old. He knew that the disease affects 1 in every 17 thousand people. And that is characterized by the accumulation of fatty acids long-chain saturated brain cells that cause the loss of myelin, or fatty sheath that covers nerve fibers and transmits impulses properly. "We thought: love our son and do not want to lose . " What is the enemy in this situation ? fatty acids Wicked! Then, find the way to destroy ", Augusto said.

He, who worked as an economist the World Bank, and Michelle, who was a music teacher, were far from the medicine. But they managed the "miracle": the disease was stopped due to an oil obtained from the combination of two fats extracted from olive and canola oil. In recognition of such an effort, Augustus received the honorary doctorate from the University of Stirling (UK). Since then started looking for ways to cover the damaged nerves with myelin. In 1989, the Myelin Project was born.

Augusto spent 24 years with 75 - dedicated to the care of Lorenzo and search for new therapies to restore damaged myelin, not only because of this disease but also other neurodegenerative diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis. In 2005, a study published in Archives of Neurology, and which worked the same Odone, found that of 89 children diagnosed with AML who started taking the oil immediately Lorenzo, only 24% of cases were completed building anomalies detected by MRI and in 11% of neuroimaging and neurological abnormalities. You never get 100% success with any drug, medicine or treatment.

The efficacy of Lorenzo's oil depends on starting therapy before the onset of neurological symptoms, and results clinical bone marrow transplantation are better if the procedure is performed when the damage to myelin is minimal. So one of the most important advances in the Myelin Project, which is developing a test (screening test) at the Kennedy Krieger Institute, is that from a drop of blood from newborn heel identify children who are at risk in order to initiate appropriate therapy before the onset of symptoms.

The method promises to be an accurate and reliable tool for early detection of this condition, but you must first minimize the risk of false positives, ie misdiagnosis. In addition, the Myelin Project is supporting two research lines: on the one hand, cell transplantation and on the other, the possibility to create drugs that replace the lost myelin. "When a scientist asks money for important medical research can take two years to get it. If the Myelin Project OKs get the money within weeks" Odone stands. He adds: "When they ask for money to conduct experiments in mice, rats, cats, dogs and monkeys, they often respond. But we say no, they should begin to experiment with people. At least 15 other organizations have adopted this formula" .

An example of this is the transplantation of stem cells. In 2001 supported the work of researchers at Yale University that marked a milestone by transplanting myelin-forming cells in the human central nervous system. The patient was a 53 year old woman with multiple sclerosis. Then followed other cases and are still evaluating the results, although not submitted until a final conclusion.

Meanwhile, Augusto Odone continues revalidating what a professional once said about the case of Lorenzo: " This story should be taught that no one can condemn a patient with a final diagnosis and urgent without even sought alternatives, inside or outside the established knowledge .

Goodbye Lorenzo

" Micaela went up to 16 hours with Lorenzo. I think that caused excessive stress on the immune system and helped to develop lung cancer "he said about his wife, who died in 2000.

founded Odone Myelin Project with the dream of returning to Lorenzo lost many of the features. Today you do to help others, though, for health reasons in January last year had to leave the presidency of the project.

three weeks ago (May 30, 2008), Lorenzo died of pneumonia, a day after his 30th birthday, Virginia, USA. However, Augusto continues to lead the Myelin Project to fight against adrenoleukodystrophy (ADL), the degenerative neurological disease of genetic origin that condemned his son's life.

now also holds the time writing the book he had promised his son to when he turned 30, not knowing what would be the last to tell how were all these years. For this return to his native Italy after his son's remains be cremated and laid alongside those of his wife Micaela .
