Neither brave bulls carving Australians through the corners of the Estafeta, nor Fernando Simón's ninots consumed by the Valencian fallas, nor the Esperanza de Triana making their way between tapers and combs in the rales of the early morning . The slutty Spain, which smells and sounds tomatina temazos Camela when you press the caló , go take my mourning for the pandemic there. It's official: the Covid-19 has left too many things on the way, and its latest victim has been the Madrid Gay Pride. Few parties shake as much meat, as much love and as many kisses as that of the LGTBIQ collective (and excuse the bacchanal of acronyms). Bad mix, then, for this time of masks, gauging and social distances, and more when the runrún of the last March 8 continues to put together a Zapatista party in Congress.
However, the organizers have not thrown in the towel, or better, the flag, and many of the activities of this great party for diversity will have, in 2020 to forget, its online version. Welcome, everyone, to the Teleorgullo . The main course, of course, is again the manifestation of the first Saturday of July. A macro parade that came to vindicate the revolts of the Stonewall bar in New York now 51 years ago, an event perhaps somewhat blurred with the passage of time by the tons of wild muscles and the already famous heels race. Bold, as if equality had to shout trotting with a 15-centimeter Louboutin , because only then Pedro Piqueras will listen to us.
Assuming that in this year of misfortune Madrid will not receive the succulent injection of eurazos and tourists that the Pride represents (in 2019 more than a million people participated in the parade), the Villa y Corte will settle for an online demonstration . Well, if during the quarantine we learned everything from teleworking, teleshopping and even telesex, why shouldn't we also tele-demonstrate. It will be on July 4 at 7:00 p.m., and the procession can be followed through the MADO (Madrid Pride) website. Without grips, without heat strokes, without Mario Vaquerizo making himself in some gin and streamer carriage. Without all that, yes, but with the slogan Sorority and feminism to TRANSFORM. Lesbian, trans and bisexual women in action! For the most vulnerable! I said: all advantages.
The celebrations, however, will start this Sunday with the proclamation, which will be borne by the presenter Carlos Sobera. Well, it has been a tradition to use convinced heterosexuals to give a voice to the LGTBI collective, as if there were no gays and lesbians with trade and talent in Madrid to read a speech. Yes, every year the manifesto between Mónica Naranjo, Marta Sánchez, triumphs of the last batch and a shameful etc. are dispatched . which is irrelevant to remember here. But as it happens from the annals of confinement, Sobera's proclamation will also be online. We do not know if by Skype, if by Zoom or if by Teams, which have been - with toilet paper and cornstarch - our daily bread during quarantine.
Assumed that in this year of misfortune Madrid will not receive the succulent injection of eurazos and tourists
A hit by BOE , which is already the agora of these rare times of the bug , the music of flesh and blood is totally prohibited. The stages of the Plaza de Pedro Zerolo, the Puerta del Sol, the Plaza del Rey and the Puerta de Alcalá will be virtual spaces from Sunday where anyone, if you want to, can share your artistic talents. And there is a prize: the best valued by the digital audience will be able to perform, already live and direct, in next year's edition.
We are coming then an atypical Pride where this fever of Covid 5.0 is consolidated where the grandmothers became youtubers and even the filmmakers filmed with an iPhone without leaving home. At least the LGTBI collective has been caught by the new normal with the Grindr installed . And we insist, in case it was not clear: this year, praise the Gods of pleasure, there is no heels race. All advantages.
