good afternoon
I believe that here we all know how to laugh
who of you have never laughed in your
life to see raise your hand
Oh, what a liar
we have all felt that laugh that you
throws on the floor and makes you hurt
stomach that laugh that makes you go
walking in the afternoon and suddenly
let go of a small box
because you remembered something funny is something
very human very organic
and nobody taught us to laugh
but now I want to practice a
part of my life where I did not laugh
a lot
I am from a place an oasis in the
desert called Hermosillo Sonora
a place with a lot of delicious food
Much hot
and with this stereotype of the man very
very very specific
this northern man you imagine him with
the hat the boot a macho not
big guy with his hand on the wheel and with
another a beer boat as one
the problem starts when you are not
A) Yes
added to this I was enrolled in a
school
where a religious institution whose
name back is translated as work of
God
he taught us that homosexuality is
an illness
and you do not start to realize it starts you
to give an account until the children
they start screaming it looks like fag
stand as a man
the years passed and a point came in the
that the bullying that I received in this
school psychological and physical abuse
It was so bad that he could not go out to the
recreations in the afternoon could not get out
of the room if you left was only for the
people will throw things at me or so that
people will shout names without me
teachers did absolutely nothing
Then I went to God
and I prayed a lot to be healed
to keep me regular
and on top of this you have a father
telling you that you have to accept everything
that pain to be able to sanctify your soul
and go to heaven not
the years passed and as they say there is no harm
that lasts ten years this hard 12
but in the end I graduated step
and I came to this beautiful city called
monterrey to study my career
professional
in the first years if it’s jackal’s
she
in the first years and in all my years
here I took refuge in the theater in the
arts in music was what really
it made me very happy to date is what
that currently makes me very very very
happy I was one of those annoying kids that
they did the flashmob in the middle of the
cafeteria at two in the afternoon to
promote the work in which he was
super annoying
and well I graduated and I graduated I am
clear license yes
and I started living this normal life not
this normal life that I had missed so much
Work friends out on weekends
and again and again and for me that
he came back very
boring and repetitive maybe
and I realized again that I was not happy
then I moved to the city of mexico
to try to achieve my dream in
the big city not being an actor
and I left everything here once again I went back to
start
I left friends
stable salary
and I said let’s try it if it does not happen
nothing then I return
it was then that I met me
baby aurora 2016 I think now is a
big woman
and I think this was in response to
the whole society that has always been with me
saying that I was not always
stopping he always told me
you can not dress like that you can not
paint your hair
You have to behave like a man, not no
be a woman
so it was like my true form of
tell society and society as
now I’m not just going to be gay, I’m going to do
super gay
I will do ultra gay I will do back
at this time I did not even know what it meant
so I started doing my shows in
pink Zone
I started singing in karaoke is and I said
well I think that here there can be a
important opportunity there is not something
interesting what is happening and when
I just started a lot of people started me
to say is that society is not ready and
I’m thinking about one if we
we wait for society to be ready
I’ll never be there, there’s always always
to go rights
and two then ready so that if I do not see
nobody doing marches because víctor
trujillo news as a babe
galvan or someone who is outraged by
margara francisca a lust llull in his
time
and I ‘m not discovering the thread either
black actors commentators many people
in the Mexican environment has been doing
track for years and had not even been
realized
then things happen they pass
nights the party ha ha ha jo jo jo y
this site comes to me where
I currently work and work
What a scandal
I remember that the march the axis and of
2016 they were looking for a dredger
that was in his cart and I was
looking for a car to not walk the
March
then a win-win to us
and it suits us
I remember that year in November
that year they invited me to do the videos
hey we want to take out a channel to see what
happens what wave you cheer up and I said
where good is going
we started making the videos in
November 2016 with less than 80,000
likes
and today we are the site the number 1 axis in
Latin America with more than one million
subscribers with presence in countries
as colombia argentina we even
we realized that we also have
presence in countries such as Canada Spain
crazy
but
that leads us to ask who they are
these subscribers these people who
they give us their time and their blessed like
they are people who in one way or another
they are reflected with our content
who connect with us
we live in a world full of voices of
influencers
and people do not connect with that the
People connect with vulnerability
things in which it is reflected
and this is precisely what took us
to make the scandal mood that is
Now that is a very simple humor if
you want basic but it’s
it is precisely this simple humor that
makes it so universal and when I say that
laughter is a universal language is
because it is
it’s because the person laughs so much
transsexual as the heterosexual person
and the next time you hear about
lgtb rights
remember that we are talking about
human rights
and this is precisely what it does
our very satisfactory work
people of all kinds write to me from
teenagers who do not dare to go out
from the closet to people who have
suffered discrimination in their places of
work in their environment because they are the ones
They are
but really my favorite messages
come from heterosexual people
I will tell you why
that is a friend
my favorite message says more or less like that
I’m paraphrasing but here
dawn
I’m not gay clarifying
but
I love your videos and all in my
office we get together on Fridays to see
everything you put
and that it seems incredible that is not
because you see my videos, I love it
but it does not mean that the language
it’s working that laughter is
flowing that they saw something more than this
graphic designer with wig
that connected
and while our message of inclusion
is sown in the head of someone who
we thought of ourselves as deranged people or
sick our work is done
unfortunately today we continue
living in a hetero regulated society
where the more you look like this
stereotype of the Mexican macho vales more
and the more feminine or more feminine you are
You are worth less if you are delicate or if
you are sensitive yes no
We believe that this is wrong because we believe
which is synonymous with being weak
I would have liked it a lot when I
I was growing up when I was young more
young
that all this information existed
that our community was so visible
as it is now
and sincerely
to all the people who have felt
marginalized discriminated persecuted
I want to tell you that you are not alone
there are organs and laws nowadays that
protect our rights and our
integrity
and I invite you not to duck your head
to be as visible as we can
grip all that sadness
pain they once felt and
transform it into something good into something that
push them to move forward that they do not
be afraid to be who you are
and remember that nobody can ever
remove the smile from your face many
Thank you
