Enrique del Pozo boasts of his bodybuilder boyfriend, Rubén Sánchez
Rubén Sánchez Montesinos "I'm not a fagot, I'm a professional bodybuilder athlete"
There is something of Totò in Enrique del Pozo (65).
Although he has recently reached that age in which a person settles his character, in his eyes there are still remnants of
that boy who instead of playing football sneaked into the cinemas
or bribed the one at the door with his chorizo sandwich and chocolate bar to see
The Maiden's Spring
(1960) by Ingmar Bergman "of which I did not understand a damn", says the artist.
He was happy watching the stories in the projectionist's booth.
The times did not allow his mother, Lola, to study, so she gave her son wings to fly freely.
"I inherited my curiosity from her," she confesses solemnly.
That's why he told him to read Cela and Pessoa, to venerate
El verdugo
(1963) by Berlanga, the same one who called Enrique while he was doing La noche forbidden (1996) with Ivonne Reyes to tell him that
"if you talk about dicks, say dick , clear things"
and to adore the Italian fiction of Sophia Loren.
His mother's favorite film was A Private Day (1977), an LGTBI story starring both Italian stars whose most emblematic scene on a clothesline was recreated by Jorge Javier Vázquez (52) with Loren on the set of There's One Thing I Want to Tell You (2012).
She brought up the gay issue and after asking "what kind of man could make me happy?"
the Italian diva commented that in Italy there are not many homosexuals
, the presenter claimed that in Spain there is and the actress let out amused as well as unconscious, "ah, fagot".
Laughter from everyone and blush from Sophia.
There was a funny tone there "and it can be done, but if you leave that context you are already denigrating the person," admits Enrique who, together with his partner for a year, Rubén Sánchez Montesinos (40),
have had to endure that the athlete is called a fagot and that they have kicked him out of a gym for it
.
He also suffered from it in his profession, which is why, to refresh the historical memory of the LGTB community, he co-directed the documentary El pared rosa (2011) with Julián Lara, for which he received the Pasolini Laceno D'ro for human rights.
Rubén already made it clear in LOC: "I'm not a fagot, I'm homosexual and a professional bodybuilder athlete."
In
Survivors
he emphasized it several times, but Jorge Javier turned a deaf ear and released him "from fagot to homosexual...".
The
reality show
has strengthened their relationship.
They are already preparing a wedding
.
The International LGTBIQA+ Pride Day is coming up and the time has come for Enrique to dot the i's.
They called you a fagot and you established jurisprudence...Fernando Ramos told me on Canal Sur.
I sued the presenter, the program and the producer of Carlos Herrera.
He did not apologize and after seven years the judge agreed with me.
They were convicted.
Since then, calling someone a fagot, a dyke or a shitty transvestite has established jurisprudence.
Anyone can feel protected.Did Jorge Javier do a disservice when he said to Rubén about "from a fagot to a homosexual..." There was sarcasm, contempt and giggles.
A presenter in a program must not denigrate or disrespect because he has lived it in his own skin when his father did not accept his homosexuality.
But yes, victimhood uses it to fill the theater and sell his books. More than Survivors, it has seemed like McCarthy's witch hunt...
From the beginning there has been a campaign of harassment and demolition, of disrespect, aggressiveness and ridicule against us.
I'm not talking about Bulldog or Telecinco since thanks to them my partner's dream has come true, but about certain people who, due to phobias and manias, have attacked without mercy.
They put the guillotine on Rubén, but don't forget that whoever invented it died with that machine. Are you talking about censorship? On the island, a big boss told Rubén to leave behind his backpack with homosexuality.
That he was not interested.
But they do exploit four minors, such as the children of Miguel Bosé and Nacho Palau.
Opportunism or victimhood? What happens to the chain that became so popular for its twelve months, twelve causes? Look, if when Jorge Javier tells Rubén if he puts his boyfriend on all fours,
if he says the same thing to a woman, he gets into a big mess.
What are we playing? Have you felt helpless? I am struck by the absence, indifference and invisibility of certain organizations.
And on top of that they call us homophobes!
Rubén and I are two people who try to join and this program should serve to educate and normalize.
And we have been crucified!
In this country every ten minutes someone says fagot, shitty transvestite, boyera... If it's already difficult to come out of the closet, in sports I won't even tell you.
