AboutÿLa £nica lesbiana de ?vila / The Only Lesbian in ?vila

Un testimonio personal de la periodistaÿqueerÿLaura Terciado acerca de su experiencia de vida como lesbiana y defensora de los derechos del colectivo LGBT.

Seguramente alguna vez hayas sentido que todos son normales menos t£.

Yo nac¡ y crec¡ en ?vila pensando que era la £nica lesbiana de la ciudad y estando segura de que el Diablo vendr¡a a por m¡.

Me sent¡a sola, rara, atrapada en una ?fase? que se eternizaba y dentro de un armario con tantas puertas que cre¡a que jam s ser¡a capaz de salir de ‚l.

Odiaba el instituto, odiaba el color rosa, odiaba los motes, los insultos, las preguntas, la palabra lesbiana. Pero, por encima de todas las cosas, me odiaba a m¡ misma.

Hasta que explot‚. Y todo salt¢ por los aires.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The personal testimony of queer journalist Laura Terciado about her life as a lesbian and defender of the LGBT community.

Have you ever felt that everyone is normal except for you?

I grew up in ?vila convinced that I was the only lesbian in the city and that the Devil would surely come for me.

I felt alone, weird, stuck in a ?phase? that become permanent, in a closet with so many doors that I thought I?d never find my way out.

I hated school, the color pink, the nicknames, insults, questions, and the word lesbian. Most of all, I hated myself.

Until I exploded. And everything blew up.
