married life well as after 1 December, I said we were married before ended 2009, now say that in less than a month will be another wedding, "said Alex Freyre, halfway between the gossip and the ad. By not compromising the process, but possibly also because he knows that to keep alive the mystery much attention to the cause, preserving some intrigue. It can happen in any district of the country could be any couple that corresponds to the acronym LGBT. Meanwhile, the only pair of same-sex couples legally married by the Argentine authorities that make him and Jose Maria Di Bello, the man temporarily absent from the country in line of duty (work or militant). Frey does not deny that she misses him, but "in fact, being married is not changed us all our daily lives but some things we are now seeing if I happened to social work, stuff. In that it does have implications to be married, we are seeing the impact of legal equality. "
What did change in a month and a half to have marriage certificate was, so to speak, the public life of Freyre and Di Bello. They had mobile TV in the front door, radio calls and telephone consultations inhumane hours all the time. On the street, recognized, stopped "all sorts of people," namely: "Families and lots of grandmothers, who told us they had been praying to let us marry" the congratulating, some invoking the vicinity of " a gay brother, a gay son "to explain included and accompanied. Some wanted to take pictures with the couple. Others were just "wanting to give us a kiss." And as long as it lasted agreed, but Freyre said he did not want to go out of shyness. "I wanted that fame disappear because it is overwhelming. Came from a shovel and overwhelming exposure after we could not get married on 1 December, we gave no more. And we have HIV, we have to care. Just now starting to rest. "He says" see what happens is a pleasure, but the effort left us in bed. We were not prepared. Our marriage was sui generis: they were not our families or our friends thing we wanted. I still believe it is unfair that we had to give a legal battle. It's exhausting. But as marriage are lupines, was an honor to be part of this achievement. For our soul's curriculum was bigger than him wearing the pink lining of the Obelisk "in reference to action in 2005, carried forward from the Buenos Aires AIDS Foundation.
He and his husband are defined as members, and Freyre himself explains that his "effort is focused on achieving systemic change ... Our marriage, and the desire of a couple in love, was the desire of two militants. So I think our marriage is resulting in systemic change, forever, while everything changed: there's a new scene. It is not only the efforts of two people but a group that is the Federation (Argentina Lesbian, Gay, Bi and Trans-FALGBT-) ", and that has consequences for the world around them.
- What specific effects perceived?
-As at 1 December there were only four couples who had tried to marry, starting with Rachel and Claudia Maria Castro. From 1 December until now changed so much that there are 100 married couples who are asking. Next week, in fact, possibly accompanying a transvestite girl and her boyfriend who will be asked to turn registrar. This is important because marriage does not have to be extended only for gays and lesbians, but also has to be for the transvestites. I love having the opportunity to join because it's become even more control of what is happening. All the time we receive emails and messages, many messages arrive at Facebook. Some teens are desperate, and it is beautiful, in that pain you feel sad, to be useful to very specific people, help them realize that being gay is no shame to have the dream of forming a family is neither . It's good to show them that others are doing. The team of lawyers from the Federation is working with new protections. We've gotten into the house of so many people this is affecting many lives. In the mental health service Muñiz Hospital, which treats many people with HIV, patients began to ask that after seeing us married, marriage is also part of their life expectancy. And many heterosexual couples premarital became his analysis in the clinical service Muñiz, saying they had chosen this hospital because they knew that we had gone there. You re beautiful.
- When they realized that they had ceased to be in the center of the scene?
"It's actually a bit that follows. We still call Media from all sides, but we had to learn to put limits on it in order to continue with our stuff. Now that we are dedicated to only one day a week. Of course, with the celebration of Valentine's Day all began again, but we want to see other couples, other stories. Do not want our partner to get fixed as unique, it is only this as the only legitimate model. Diversity brings diversity. Therefore it is good that a trans make an injunction to marry her boyfriend, who achieved the right, so people can see that it is the same love. That's why our campaign is named "Same Love", and this weekend there were picnics Valentine throughout the country. But beyond Sunday and our marriage, the campaign continues, because the goal is to create the bases to get the marriage law for all. For that we must conquer the social support, media, political, legal. Our marriage was just the beginning, a leading case in the Federal Capital has impact across the country, and in Tierra del Fuego was a political equivalent to the decree of the Governor Fabiana Ríos.
- And what is the perception on how to hit the provinces?
"In the provinces is mobilizing people who never played for. Now pending further progress in strengthening these new militants. Marriage, and this may add, we are repairing a wound that we all do, because marriage also is to protect patrimonial other. I have seen many people die on the canvas, or see someone who, when his partner died, was on the street because the family took over the department that they had built together. There are even cases of famous people. Anyway, I think that this conquest, which is symbolically very important, is not the most urgent. To me, at least personally, I am more concerned to achieve a gender identity law and the repeal of the edicts in the provinces, which covered them pibas kill. In that case, from the Federation, we have the same commitment to marriage. On the other hand, there's something crazy: for other countries seeking marriage or have everyone before had won the decriminalization of abortion. Here is not so strange and disturbing.
