Primeira gayleria nasce em Lisboa
A bandeira do orgulho gay (arco-íris) à entrada não engana. Nem as fitas vermelhas à porta ou o foco – vermelho também – apontado à bica de Santa Catarina, em Lisboa, mesmo em frente. Podia ser um simples bar gay, mas é mais do que isso: ‘O Bico’ é a primeira gayleria a abrir em Portugal. Sim, leu bem: GAYleria.Lá dentro, os quadros expostos em originais cordas de aço presas por porcas que se enrolam nas canalizações mostram homens... com homens. Corpos nus, sexo entre iguais. As mesas, cadeiras e portas – e puffs – têm formas explícitas... de falos.

Erika Keels lost her life on March 22nd after someone pushed the trans woman from their car, backed up and proceeded to run her down four times. Horrified witnesses reported the incident to the Philadelphia police.
