Stonwall

On the night from the 27. till the 28. June 1969 in Christopher Street started the first real protest against the oppression from the police. Violence was the answer. Enough is enough was the answer. Queer people showed that they are indeed people as everyone else. They are not only week and have wigs and are easy to harm. They can fight for the right to dance, to live, to love as it is the most natural thing in the world. Being part of society means to live free and be what you are instead of hide and feel ashamed. Being people and love another people is very natural and can never be sick. Because Love is Love, meaning- it's a chemical reaction, it's a physical attraction, it's in your gene, it's what we all can feel, if we live with an open heart and it's a spiritual reaction and practice. 
So violence was the answer cos they were not heard before. 
And today after- let's think about, after 45 years, are we on a better way?
Yes, in many ways and many countries but also no in many ways and countries. In some it even becomes worse. 
In 77 countries homosexuality is still forbidden and will get you in prison or even dead. 
77 countries where they hide, live in fear, fight in the background, fight in the dark, need to believe that they have a chance to be taken as a man of the world worth living and get no harm, no matter if an other man think this is right or not because he does not understand that it is natural because this man just believes in what he had heard and believes what he has read or not, or because he just think he can pic a sentence out of the bible and claim we have to live that way, thought he never read the hole passage and understood that the bible is not a book to pic what you like or not but more a history document to read and see an idea of living and stories to safe live and that this book was written in a time where we lived t.ex. in the desert and after all that this book is written so many years after Jesus died and is not written from one single person and the not even chronologically and it took like 300 years to write all the passages and then after all not all who were written have stayed in the book at last. 
But I am drifting away.
We have come a long way since that but after 45 years it feels not that much, because just now we realize that so much was hidden and is vulnerable. 
The open homophobia is breaking out and that's a god thing because now we actually know. 
Yes in the beginning we have been ignored. Then people laughed about us. Since Stonewall they openly fight us and this is the last phase before people learn to understand us and take us for real.
But just now they fight us harder then since a long time. They beat us, smash us and try to kill us. For what? For blindness, stupidity, and for the reason that they are unknown to the subject and lost empathy. 
Because if they had empathy they would never do this. 
So let's teach them empathy, love and difference as in the same time equality. 
Let's teach them to think with mind, body and soul.
Let's teach them to learn to do this by them self. 
But they won't listen - do you say.
Right, many don't listen when we speak up, stand up, show us.
We have to waken them- but how? More words? More demonstration in silence, dance or with kisses?
Or is violence a choice to wake them up and make them look and listen to us? As it was 1969 needed. Is is needed now? Do we need a new Stonewall to collect us, to show us and get straight to the point again and then show them how to do it the LOVE way?
Lot's of discussion are needed but at the end we have to remember where exactly we stand.
There we wil know what to do, because I think, we have to do it all together, all ways and choices.  All variations (except those who means we fight against something- this way we lose, all will lose). 
Because that is the only way to get everyone to listen, because some will only act when they see a silent parade, others when they se a documentation, others will react when we fight back with a fist or showing a kiss. Then others will react when we show mercy or when we say out and loud and proud - STOP-! or they are people who will finally listen to arguments instead of following blind a word of a priest. 
Yes the time has come that it is no longer acceptable to hate gays and lesbians, trans and bisexual. The time has arrived that we all have to fight for the right to love without fear. No matter who you are. The time is here to see the light and stop being blind. 
And yes violence will be a part of it sometimes, because sometimes it's the first step which is needed to get out of a situation. It's the right to fight back. 
So.... to all the haters and homophobes.
Forget that we are a doormat, whipping boys, victims or scapegoats for t.ex. politics who just dislike the western living style!
WE ARE PEOPLE OF THIS WORLD WORTH THE SAME AS YOU!

CAFE a movie

A little, small and nice movie for the afternoon, with a good friend and some cake and coffe or a cup of chocolate is „Cafe“ with Jennifer Love Hewitt.

A movie not special, but interesting and fine.

She plays a women, working in a coffe, having not the best boyfriend around and the guy next to her is fallen in love- with exactly her.

You follow the life in this cafe shope, all the people coming in and going out, young and old but then aquestions come up and a warning will be told from a girl outside this world.

This will give it a bit speed and complexity, but thanks good, not too much.

Nothing more to say, but just this... it’s a light and sometimes funny film. You will have a kind of a fairytale there and the reality and the question of it. 

What is real? You wonder and see it...

But then, you smile watching all this and even the darkest happening in the movie won’t take it away.

So- not so much a movie before you go to bed, yes- really more like for five a clock tea or coffee. 

Much like, when you listen to a play on the radio, you can watch this movie.

Or if you are just bored and need something good, but not to much to think about. 

Here you have it.

Gloria!

This is an album you may not know from her. It's her Disco Album and in my own eyes a very good one. All the songs go into each other-like a one hour dance marathon, also you can find on special cd's her spanish version of some of the english songs- by these version-it's more fun. 

This Disco Album is a mix of Disco from old style, to new style and Latin, Salsa and Pop. 

A very healthy mix and it's fun to listen too and it shows another side of her, light and with a lot of spirits. She sings of course about love, dancing, but also about her home country where she comes from, and then more. 

I know a lot don't like Gloria Estefan so much and her Conga beat, but give it a try, this could be what you need. 

I just wish they would play these songs in the Disco, cos you can dance to them so very well and your feelings are growing up and a smile will pop up on your face, I am pretty sure. 

yours

La Mission- Die Mission--- a movie

Auch dieser Beitrag handelt von einem Film. "La Mission" im Original und man ist nicht schlecht erstaunt Benjamin Bratt in der Hauptrolle darin zu finden. Einem Schauspieler, der weniger für ernste und grossartige Schauspielerei bekannt ist. Da er eher noch als der Anhang zu starken Filmfrauen, wie Sandra Bullock in "Miss Andercover" unter Anderem in Erinnerung blieb.
In "Die Mission" spielt er einen alleinerziehenden Familienvater, ehemaliger Krimineller, der sich als Busfahrer seinen Lebensunterhalt verdient und seine Wurzeln in Mexiko hat. 
Der Film lief bei uns nie im Kino, wohl auch, weil er sich nicht so recht einordnen lässt, denn er ist weder ein reiner Vater/ Sohn Film, noch ein Gangster Film, oder gar ein Film alleine über die Latinos in Amerika und deren Leben. Auch ist es kein Film über die Liebesgeschichte seines Sohnes oder seiner eigenen vergangenen und neuen Lieben. 
Der Film scheint vordergründig kein Glamour zu haben und doch strahlt er, ist bunt, aber schlüssig, wenn auch in ein, zwei Szenen ein wenig zu schnell die Story voran getrieben wurde. 
Der Rhythmus ist eher gemütlich zu verfolgen, mit kurzen Episoden, die alles ein wenig wieder in Schwung bringen. Das normale Leben, wie das Drama das sich zwischenzeitlich ereignet wird ohne grosse Aufregung erzählt und doch sitzt man mit Spannung dabei und erfährt von all den Themen, die ich oben genannt habe, weshalb sich der Film nicht einordnen lässt, aber interessant bleibt. Auch wenn der Film wohl zuerst unter der Kateorie "Film mit schwulem Inhalt" läuft, so ist er doch alles andere als ein "Schwulen Film", wenn man so will. Die Tatsache, das sein Sohn schwul ist und einen Freund hat wird angenehm zurückhaltend dargestellt, aber bleibt dabei glaubwürdig und nachvollziehbar. 
Haupt- und Drehpunkt des Films aber ist der Vater- seine Entwicklung, von Benjamin Bratt sehr gut und mit vollem Einsatz gespielt, so das man seine Meinung revidieren muss, ganz zwangsläufig und ihm mehr solcher guten Rollen wünscht, an denen er wachsen kann und zeigen kann, das es sich lohnt, ihn beim Spiel zu beobachten. 
Schlussendlich, auch hier ein Film, der herausfordert, aber gut an einem Sommerabend alleine, zu Zweit oder zu Zehnt anzusehen ist.

Familienträume-- a movie

Und wieder ist es einmal soweit ein wenig in meinem Blog zu schreiben.
Lange Sommerabend eignen sich bestens Filme anzuschauen und gerade im Sommer kann man sich auch etwas anspruchsvolleres ansehen. Ähnlich wie mit Krimis, die sich in lauen Sommernächten besser lesen lassen, als im kalten Winter, wo es eh schon so düster ist und man eigentlich Aufmunterung statt kruseliger Spannung braucht.
Einen Film den man gerne zu Zweit oder Viert oder alleine ansehen kann, ist der aus und in Südamerika spielende Film mit dem etwas unglücklich gewählten Titel "Familienträume".
Leider haben die deutschen Verleiher bis heute wenig Mut zu originellen und passenden Filmtiteln und oft währe der Originaltitel besser beibehalten worden. Gerade erleben wir das ja wieder bei einem "Almodovar" Film, der im Original "I'm exited" heisst und auf deutsch "Fliegende Lieben". Mag sein dass die über 30zig jährigen damit etwas anfangen können, denn so hiess einmal eine Serie im TV. 
Aber zurück zum eigentlichen Film, indem es um Familie geht, dann um die Frage, was eine solche ausmacht und wer darüber entscheiden darf. Kurz; ein Paar übernimmt für kurze Zeit die Pflege eines Jungen, dessen Mutter den Drogen zum Opfer gefallen ist. Doch damit fängt das Drama erst an, denn von falschen Anschuldigungen, über Missverständnisse, hin zur Maffia und dem Kinderhandel dreht sich das Karusell der Geschehnisse atemlos und gandenlos. Das Paar wird gespielt von zwei der bekanntesten Soap Stars aus dem Südamerikanischem TV, welche hier mit voller Kraft ihr Können darbieten und das so glaubhaft, ...aber... das gilt für alle Beteiligten in diesem Film. 

Das der Film nebenbei so viele brisante Themen und das Thema Homosexualität in einer Machogesellschaft noch aufgreift, ist fast schon Nebensache und doch so fest Bestandteil des Ganzen, dass der Film jede Minute wert ist. Jedoch sollte jeder gewarnt sein, für zarte Nerven ist er nichts. So intensiv, hart und doch gleichzeitig emotional zupackend und erweckend, macht dieser Film an einem schönen Sommerabend einem mindestens bewusst, wie glücklich man ist und wieviel man wohl bereit ist zu opfern und opfern kann, was man sich nie hätte denken können. 
Darauf einen Sherry.

revolution of love

In the last few weeks I read about several projects who wants to start the revolution, a new one.. of LOVE... But these revolution is not new.. Well not that people never tried it, but this time it is not only needed, it is possible, that we can make it... 'cos things have changed, although the politics is the old one. Going on like the last 50 years, telling lies and acting in their own logic... War.... Yes and the best thing is, they pray peace and sell weapons and I am from Germany, where the politics don't want to be part of war because the people said no, but then... Our politic sells weapon.. not the most one, but exactly to the countries where we want to stop the war for once and forever... Is this crazy... Yes it is and it's time to stand up more and more and together and say....STOP this lie! Stop helping making war! Do as we say, the people! Money is not everything. Peace and respect is to live and not only to talk about! 

I mean... this picture I found, shows very much how our politics in the world lie.... the USA- the country to stop every war when you hear them speak.. They sell the most.... Crazy world we live in.. right?!

So that's why I tell you... look out for those who want to make the "Revolution of LOVE real.." and help them and spread LOVE and yes... live yourself the love, although this might be strange in the beginning, but believe me.. Giving love is so much.. and you feel better, no matter what... and let's really come together on the streets and tell them to stop those foolish things... selling weapons, making war... killing each other in the name of what, of who? No one then the Money. 

Well yes all those war games in the higher politic is also an instrument to make people look away from the real problems, like what Obama is doing or does not have to do, because now Korea is screaming in his game... Well, folks... look inside and see what is missing actually now, what is really going on and how... 

So what you're waiting for?!

What about less guns and cameras...?

Hej folks, the new year is now some days old and so it's time to write... again... Hope you had a good start and well I also hope you keep in positive mood... No matter what... 
The last year ended with some bad news on the news... remember the shooting in the school in the united states or the kidnapping in Berlin... seems the world has become more dangerous and let's guess what... they ask the people if they want more guns, more cameras on the streets and guess what... more then before said yes.... of course... it's the moment of most fair and so we react what we have been told all the years for we should not think, we should be afraid... so this is in no way surprisingly but scary how easy it has become to play with peoples mind... 
Want a new law which makes your freedom smaller... just ad a bit fair in the discussion and people will say yes without thinking... 
I'm so sorry to tell you this if you never realized it... it hurts to get aware of blind acting... 
Still too many of us do and believe in the same time that they know what they do and say.. 
Well, "they" made you believe... They? Politics... industry... oh yes, like I once said... the top won't you to be strong and aware... 
Why I care... ? Well, I think my freedom is cut already enough... and I will try to keep what I have... 'cos part of life is to live with some danger of what we think is dangerous... you can't live in a bubble all your live.. you have to try and to experience... and one thing is for sure.. no mistakes, no learning... no getting over your fear, no freedom .. But why should I keep myself in prison all my live, when there is so much to see? 

Ask the people now again.. Do you want more cameras? ...and it will show a different picture... Yes, less will say yes... cos now the save feeling is back... although isn't it stupid..? 
The fact did not change... the world is the same dangerous or less dangerous as it was then, before and will be after... the risk is always there... More cameras won't keep it away, more guns will not help you to survive better, just make you believe it is so, but it won't, cos it can't... Cos You have to keep your eyes and mind open and do your own steps, take your own risk.. no one can do it for you... 
And the most "funny" thing is, all the thousands and millions of cameras have not saved a live... It was always the courage of people itself... It just now takes three years to watch the pics they have made... so a crime today will be seen in three years if you are lucky... So it is very less of help actually, also in England, a county with more cameras then people living on the island... waste of time, waste of money, all because of lies... but saving your life.. making the world a better place? No, I'm so sorry...it goes the other way round.. 

Well my american readers.. I read a lot about your guns... and the way they think many of you believe... Yes, we try to understand, why you think that a gun will make the world a safer place. 
Yes I heard you say you just protect yourself, defend your life, but if someone is coming to steel something in your house, he will not kill you... but then, when next to everyone has a gun and feels more sure with it, they us it.. and so the one who will only steel has a gun within the deal too and then it maybe comes to use, although next to no one planes to do... but then again.. if so many have a gun and it is always ready for use... YOU can kill, but.. do you want to? You write it's the right of an american to protect, but from whom..?
Look around.. are you the only one in the world to be protected? No, but why they made you and still make you believe so..? So much fear... so much stupid fear... Cos what is the worst thing in live that can happen to you... your dead right..? But the dead self is not the worst... so why are we so afraid... Oh to protect... it's in the genes.. Well part, part but then... most fear is made... 
Anyway, what we try to understand is also the fact that you call yourself christians, true christians, but you seem not to have a single faith in good above, even if you pray every day to him... you say and pray love yourself, like ... you know the sentence... well, everyone knows it, right...?! So, why come that there is faith missing and the believe if it happens, then it is meant to be and a thing to learn from... So when you tell you protect your family with a gun, but shoot the man who just wanted to steel your vase... you said you where in fear... so you shoot... don't you feel stupid..? You killed a soul, a man, for what? Wouldn't it have been better to hide or just knock him out, like most of us in Europe or other countries do? 
But then I think of Canada, where a lot have guns too, but there is so much less fear and so much less killed people by accident... like you call it... Well that's what I hear, I read... about you and from your TV.. but maybe these pictures are all lies... 
So why then you have so many guns, so many dead? 
Oh, we still try to understand... but maybe it's time to change your point of view and look around... the danger is everywhere the same... but we feel we are protected enough, we have faith in us, in god or the man living next door. We know that people die, but we also think, no one really planes to kill people when he was young and mostly, they don't plane it when they have grown...

Far to often politics have prayed for peace but played a wrong game, spoke with false worths, even the pope is not telling us the truth when he speaks out for peace... Cos they more often speak about fear... which is made of them self, not from us.. the people... fear through telling lies... of danger, where no anger is or just a little one, or just the normal danger life has to offer us... to learn, to grow... to support each other in love and strength ...

And by the way the more you worry, the more it becomes reality, becomes true, the more you tell people are made, they will be made at your side... but also, it functions the other way 'round... and then you'll find out how stupid it is to lie all the time, to be afraid.... 'cos even if you die tomorrow, we all will die one day, but wouldn't it be better to die with a smile or have lived without fear... cos you lived free as possible and your very own life... 

LOVE & LIGHT
