Ehgg denounces authorities taking advantage of LGTBIQ+ people’s pride day for their interests
- The Euskal Herria Sexual Liberation Movement (Ehgam) has announced that it will go to the streets like every year, “we mean that we are proud of our non-binary, trans, bolleras, maricas, bisexual and dissidents bodies. We want to claim loud and clear that our pen, our non-heterogeneous life models and our growth models are beautiful.”
They have stated that their struggle is a “liberation struggle” that requires the liberation of LGTBIQ+ people and the rest of the people affected. They have therefore announced that they will go to the streets "with the Palestinian people in their memory".
June 28 is LGTBIQ+ International Pride Day. Ehgam has denounced that companies use this day only to “accumulate capital”. “We denounce the genocide that Israel is doing with the complicity of our rulers and demand that LGTBIQ+ rights not be used to justify the massacre.” They add that “there is no pride in genocide.”
Ehgam wanted to remember that the transformations needed to make the lives of all and all of them “habitable” are “profound”. He added that capitalist systems based on the heterosexual nuclear family and private property “punish” many young people from the collective to live in families they have not chosen. Regarding the older people of the group, he states the following: “The system of privatized and family care leads to loneliness, misery and unworthy old age.”
In the end, they highlight: “We will continue to fight until all the bodies and lives of all sexual and gender dissidents are dignified.”
