Their guardian angel by Gili Orr
“Their guardian angel” was featured in the groups / Soul Mates / Candid Photography and / Queer and Gender Theories (31-10-2009) Photo taken in the Plaza Mayor Square – a central, impressive Madrid square, Spain, in July 2008. This wall is covered with colorful paintings. There was (what seemed to be) a gay wedding going on in and below this building. Below, on the street/square, there were lots of signs of a wedding, with a decorated car waiting, baloons etc. The following info was taken from Wikipedia: Same-sex marriage in Spain was legalized in 2005. In 2004, the nation’s newly elected Socialist government, led by President José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, began a campaign for its legalization, which would include adoption by same-sex couples. After much debate, a law permitting same-sex marriage was passed by the Cortes Generales (Spain’s bicameral parliament, composed of the Senate and the Congress of Deputies) on 30 June 2005 and published on 2 July 2005. Same-sex marriage officially became legal in Spain on Sunday, 3 July 2005. The ratification of this law has not been devoid of conflict, despite support from 66% of the population. Roman Catholic authorities in particular were adamantly opposed to it, criticising what they regarded as the weakening of the meaning of marriage. Other associations expressed concern over the possibility of lesbians and gays adopting children. Demonstrations for and against the law drew thousands of people from all parts of Spain. After its approval, the conservative People’s Party challenged the law in the Constitutional Court. Approximately 4,500 same-sex couples married in Spain during the first year of the law.

Some of my best friends are... (Homos, Jews, Marsians, etc.) by Gili Orr
When confronted with their bigotry, making unpleasantly sterotypical remarks on people from some “looked down on” group – or discriminating people on that basis – lots of people tend to answer with: You are wrong, some of my best friends are… (Jews, blacks, homos, whatever). Well, then I pity their best friends. A few years ago we were actually discriminated against by some hotel manager in Spain on the basis of sexual orientation. He was really surprised to hear that he was discriminating (and not just following stupid, rigid rules). He used the above-written sentence, and we wondered if his friend(s) would have approved of his treatment of us… 1177 views (8 November 2009) “Some of my best friends are… (Homos, Jews, Marsians, etc.)” was featured in the groups / ART ACTION UNION – CREATIVE ACTIVISM / Fabulous T’s and / Outsiders / /

About This Group
This group aim to re-think the sex-gender distinction, to analyze and critique our society from a non traditional sexual identity and/or transgender perspective and emotions.
To create a safe place for questions to be asked and answered in a friendly open manner.
This group is designed for people who may see their sexual identity one way regardless of their biology.
It is also open to those sympathetic to this nature, whether they be gay, lesbian, bisexual or heterosexual.
This group have an Haiku Forum (read more about in the Forum page) for post small poems.
Art submitted to the group will be expected to express and celebrate all kinds of sexual identities.
The group gallery is centered on queer and gender questions.
Please when you submit works that are not immediately understandable as questioning gender, try to explain your idea in the artwork’s description.
