Queer in Indonesia

Written by Brigitte Vasallo. Posted in Queer

Children of SrikandiThe last time I wrote something in this blog was to announce that I took a (¿Deserved?) Holiday social networking. “Fifteen days” I said then, and nearly two months ago.

What made me get out of this long nap is fantastic news: “Children of Srikandi”, film produced by my admired Angelika Levi, be presented at the Berlinale.

“Children of Srikandi” Collective is a film about queer women in Indonesia, the most populous Muslim country in the world. The directors have told their own stories on camera of her peers, gathering in their own lives the myth Srikandi, epic warrior princess Mahabharata,  a character neither male nor female, but changing, variable, Ambigu @: queer.

At the moment, we have the trailer. Hopefully in the coming months we can announce the ability to see the full documentary somewhere in earth or networks.

Sex… ¿Free?

Written by Brigitte Vasallo. Posted in Queer

This announcement surprised me in. I get angry, clear, but it surprises me in. I had often the feeling that the revolution in Spain (hetero)had been sexual in this: as usual, only now we, the PUTON verbeneros Free do. Any woman (more or less straight) who has taken charge of your sexual life will know what I mean; if it is also a promiscuous sex things get complicated: ours remains an anomaly, even a disease. “You a Sex Addict!” You dicen. Or the usual “Clear, like you go to bed with anyone” … to justify any advance made without permission from you.

If you have an open pair on top, the issue becomes surreal. You just do not hide from your partner, with whom you have a stable relationship based on sincerity and yes, on commitment. You hide from the neighbors and, even some friends and some, that put the outcry because “you put the horns” delightful companion that you have. That same friend has also seen better lovers eyes. Men, you know…

The fly cojonera, of whom I recommend the blog, says I have not found my room. It can be and, in fact, I hope so. I hope that the environment in which women can be sexual in an open, there is also healthy and fun in Spain. At the moment, when I stuck his paw by local or forums called liberals have only found more of the same: elegantly dressed waiters and waitresses in league when naked, or pages and pages of pictures of women dressed in the same cliches (The lotita, the chacha, the nurse) and men commenting. Not that scheme and any other, but essentially this. The lifetime.

Perhaps revolutions are started with the bodies and heads come after. Perhaps we are at the beginning. Maybe I've fallen into the most Scurfy. Voucher. But this announcement there and was published last Sunday in the Country. Y, says, there 150.000 women (released) not have problems like this to be announced, open access as a commodity.

Is this free sex? I think sex at a very high.
