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!

LOVE & LIGHT

Make Love and lose the hate

That is maybe the most important thing in live. 
To love and let the hate go. 
Hate is just a sign of how week you are, how less you use your mind and soul and heart, how less you are, how deep you sit in shit. 
Yes some people think hate is such a powerful and strong instrument to keep up with, cos it brings fear and joy to you, the one who is beaten up another one and it gave you the feeling of being more worth, being stronger and better, but guess what..?!... and you know it deep inside you-  YOU ARE WEAK. 
A strong person never need to beat up someone, never need to bring fear, never need to arrest someone who just love another human, never need to claim wrong things as reasons for his actions.
If you are strong and true, then corruption is something you never need. 
If you live by your heart and not blinded by some folks, then you never need to kill an animal without need.
If you are smart, you never need to keep a child from having parents, no matter where they come from, as long as they love and care for you.
If you are taking words serious that we are equal, then you never need to push a women down, or a child or a disabled or someone with another religious believe or skin color.
If you are someone who claims to live the words of Jesus Christ, then you never need to beat a man or a women because they love who they love, cos love the man next to you, like you love yourself. 
Love is Love and if you put hate in in, then you are the one I think we have to call pity and sad and stupid.
Although in each of us there is love put in the heart from the beginning and hate is a learned thing.
To hate is learned. No child hates. It learns how to hate. It learns fear and fear makes hate. Fear makes blind and blind people have mostly closed eyes and forget to learn and think by them self and listen to their heart. 
It's much like this. 
Cos love will never destroy your marriage, the mankind or your children. 
Cos a gay man will never abuse your child and is worth his life and love.
So why beaten him up, just because he loves. 
He is born that way, and if you are heterosexual you are born that way too or did you made that choice? When, how and did you try the other side? 
It's natural, it always was part of this world, no matter if your human or an animal.
Why are you so afraid of sexuality...? Is it to keep an blind eye on your own situation, which is bad and your own fault.
Yes, I am so sorry, but you are the reason for the bad situation in your country as a human and it has nothing to do with your sex, with who you love and where you're from.

Dear Russians I respect people in general, but nevertheless I am very sad about some laws you have, sad about how you waste money to corruption, how you let human rights killed by your man and am so sad to see and hear how you go on beaten yourself, hurting yourself instead of making it stop, breath and think calm what to to, how to make it better, how to make it more shiny and brighter. 
Instead you kill, you beat, you hate and even you as a reader are not doing it exactly - did you tell something to your people to make it better? Did you say stop? Or did you just say it is all not that bad and the gays fault and other countries should not talk about your problems?
Well the LGBTI Community knows it very well what is going on and feels very well in their own heart what is going on in Russia, because we all have been going through this. That's why we keep up on the fight.

Yes it is not only in Russia people are becoming Nazis again. 
I remember very well the rising in other countries. But also I do remember how you started right after '89 to throw out the WolgaDeutschen, then the Jews and then the black and so on and now you have found the gays. They seem so weak, so easy to be beaten, the reason for your problems but you know it very well, there are not. 
Keeping a blind eye on your countries problems by killing gays won't help you to not drown in your own shit. 

And God will never love you for this, cos remember hate is the devils part. 

So that's why we go on the streets and light a rainbow flame. Cos we are all of different colors and the Olympic was in it's idea about peace, friendship and love. 
You betrayed the Idea, the love, the friendship, the sportsman, the children and your own future. 
Your Olympic is a sign of black shame. 
So shame on you. Shame on the IOC. Shame on Putin. Shame on all those who are in silence, because you let it happen and therefore you are part of this black and dirty game. So sorry to tell you this. 
And I know not everyone thinks the same in Russia. 
I know the industry doesn't care about people. 
I know the politics mostly even don't care about human rights.

But I know that I still keep on believing. 
I still keep on believing that the future can be made better. 
I believe that people can learn and be true to them self.
I believe we have a lot good in our baggage but also we have a way to go.
I believe that human rights should be the same for all people on this world, no matter where you are.
I believe that hate will kill yourself and cause hurting to all the people around you and you will pay a high price for it.
I believe and know it from my work, that when you are going to die, the hate will keep you maybe alive but for the price of pure pain and you will regret it so deeply if you never lived up to making peace.
I believe that you have to forgive yourself for the hate you lived but as hard this is, it is possible, but for this, you have to SEE and CHANGE into living a life in Love.

And I believe in Love.

LOVE & LIGHT

we are with our hearts by your side.... no one should be harmed just because he loves someone else

there is also a song called "Love is not for propaganda" on i tune to buy and every cent will be given to the LGBTI groups in Russia to fight for their rights to love

the rainbow flame will be there all the time the games are going on.. we will be there too, talk to you, so you can ask your questions, we will be there to protect human rights, the flame, the love and the hope

even Jane Fonda is watching and will take care of the flame on Potsdamer Platz in Berlin

Stockholm- part 3/ del 3

So the Pride Week was over and the flags are changing again. Yes the rainbow flags where everywhere and everywhere we were, we could follow the pride, the discussion, the shows, the dance, the earnest parts and so on... 
Did I mention the Pride Parade? 
After the tradional breackfast...
It was on saturday. Best weather you can wish, so sunny and hot and well you really missed the trees on the streets, although Stockholm is a very green town, but has not that much trees in the streets actually, like Berlin. I and some of my friends got sunburned... in SWEDEN!
The Parade was big, I mean 60.000 people where on the streets and 600.000 watched it live and shared the passion, the love and applause. Everyone seems to be part of it and you know, Stockholm self the real town has just 800.000 people livingin it. 
I also meet a friend from Berlin who lives in Frankfurt now. He had also the same name like the friend I was living at. What a world, what a life!
Anyway- you could see teens and policeman and the traffic industry and also the moms and dads of homosexuals on the parade, you could see those many many rainbow families- there were so much of them that no one can say after seeing them, they don't exist and are just a number of fools. You saw the handicapped and all where so happy and earnest in the same time, under a very loving sun and by the way there is a church in Sweden who prays every year for rain on the parade, but well.. DON'T RAIN ON MY PARADE and if there will be... We simply don't care! We are there!

proud parents...

Jonas Gardel... and I don't remember his name from TV... but watch out for the book from Jonas

Surrogacy.... fight for your right for....

Hungry? Yes after seeing all this, having our drinks and meeting friends and getting the sun into our blood. We went to eat at a restaurant. It's not cheap in Stockholm... very much more like it is in London, you pay a fortune for food, but it tasted good and we had fun. So much fun. We where talking about the challange in life but you know... letting them getting down is less an option for .. you know.. everyone... should never be an option... I mean.. make something of it, do what you like and love, otherwise it would be a wast of time...!
Then we wanted to go to the Museum to see the clothes of Jean Paul Gaultier, but it was too late, so change of plans and we went on just to take a walk and eat and drink coffee in a.. well, coffee.
What a day and I hope you enjoy the pics from it.
Love me some Stockholm and in my heart there it is... the song of this town.. which is actually well known in Sweden. 
"Stockholm i mitt hjärta, låt mig besjunga dig nu.... genom Mällarens kärlek till havet, ...en blandning av sött och salt..."
