Polémico veto de los organizadores del Orgullo LGTB madrileño a una delegación israelí
Los organizadores del Orgullo LGTB de Madrid han retirado la invitación a una delegación israelí que tenía previsto participar este año en la marcha del próximo 3 de julio, como protesta por el reciente ataque a la flotilla humanitaria de auxilio a Gaza en la que murieron nueve personas. El hecho de que tanto el Ayuntamiento de Tel Aviv como la propia Embajada de Israel formaran parte de la representación estaría en el origen de la decisión. Una decisión que, pese a las explicaciones, muchos no acaban de comprender.

When there is an encounter with one, questions are inevitable. What is the life of a transgender like? How do they feel living in a society with an identity crisis? How can anybody live with another identity rather than the gender assigned at birth?
