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¡.

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.

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.
