two true things, elle emerson (@transsextual)
text description under the cut!
Two True Things
i am so 
fucking
sorry
to put it all 
on
you
at once but 
i have to tell you two true things.
you hurt me.
i love you.
neither one of those things negates the other.
they come from separate places but they exist as a pair.
i keep trying to split them up,
spin them into something
clear and graceful
an act of bravery and mastery over centripetal force 
and all for an audience!
but all i do when the lights go down 
is get tangled up
and self-immolate.
i'm not sure if it's an accident.
i feel like a shitty alfredo ormando.
i want to set myself on fire 
in front of you,
make you look at what you said
how it smothered me.
when i was little, grown-ups said i was bright.
look at me now,
smoldering, maybe, but no help on a moonless night. 
i'm looking for people with matches. 
i'm in love with a boy scout, 
and who better to build a fire? 
you built me up, too, in places, 
and this is important to say.
i am your son, so i believe 
in credit where credit is due.
you have succeeded, i think, in your overall goal.
i know well enough how to think.
i know to separate the -jectives. 
i know that sub- means below. 
i know that you take that idea very seriously 
until you have to surrender to it. 
i know you have no intention of opening up. 
i imagine that trying would feel like
flaying yourself alive.
but maybe i'm way 
off
base. 
regardless, it's better to keep my mouth shut.
telling you the truth would be a blow;
you don't go down without a fight
and i can't take a hit.
overall, it's complicated.
i don't know what more to say.
you hurt me.
i love you. 
that's just how i feel.

Siracusa: arriva il Pride ma prima della grande parata due giornate di “Pride Village”
Tumblr media
Siracusa: arriva il Pride ma prima della grande parata due giornate di “Pride Village”. Saranno due gli incontri del “Pride Village” che animeranno, giovedì 29 e venerdì 30 giugno, la piazzetta in fondo a via Riviera Dionisio il Grande, all’ingresso dell’area dei Monumento ai Caduti d’Africa. I due eventi, come di consuetudine, si terranno nei giorni precedenti alla parata finale del 1° luglio. Si comincia giovedì alle ore 18 con l’incontro dibattito all’insegna del dialogo interreligioso dal tema: “Fede, Identità di genere e orientamenti sessuali” al quale prenderanno parte: Ioana Niculina Ghivalchiu, pastora Chiesta evangelica Battista di Siracusa, Floridia e Lentini; Don Carlo D’Antoni, parroco della Chiesa cattolica di Bosco Minniti di Siracusa; Gabriele Spagna, responsabile della Sinagoga di Siracusa e Anna Adorno, responsabile “divisione donne” Regione Sicilia dell’Istituto Italiano “Soka Gakkai”. Moderano le giornaliste, Nadia Germano e Alessia Zeferino. Alle ore 20.00 proiezione del docufilm “Alfredo’s Fire” (2014), introdotto da Eleonora Gennaro per Arci Siracusa, realizzato nel 2014 dal regista statunitense Andy Abrahams Wilson. Il docufilm, della durata di 40 minuti, racconta la storia di Alfredo Ormando, scrittore omosessuale originario di San Cataldo, un paesino in provincia di Caltanissetta, che nel 1988 si uccise dandosi fuoco in piazza San Pietro. Ad uccidere Alfredo, però, non furono le fiamme che avvolsero il suo corpo ma l’ipocrisia, il pregiudizio l’omofobia, il provincialismo e la cattiveria della gente che lo avevano ferito nel profondo alimentando il tormento interiore di non poter conciliare la propria fede cattolica con l’essere omosessuale. Concludono alle ore 21.15 le artiste siracusane, Lucia De Luca e Nicoletta Palermo, Valentina Muscia e Lucia De Luca in concerto con lo spettacolo: NiVaLù Pride Songs. Al trio si aggiungerà la partecipazione straordinaria del polistrumentista Carmelo Guastella. Venerdì 30 giugno, protagonista del Pride Village, alle ore 18.30 “Cittadini LGBTQ+ tra uguali doveri e differenti diritti”, tavola rotonda sui diritti delle persone LGBTQ+ conquistati, su quelli osteggiati e su quelli per cui ancora è necessario lottare. Parteciperanno all’incontro: Marilena Grassadonia, attivista LGBT+ e per i diritti civili, ex presidente dell’associazione Famiglie Arcobaleno; Lele Russo, avvocato “Rete Lenford - Avvocatura per i diritti LGBTI+”; Emma Lo Magro Psicologa e psicoterapeuta – Gruppo di lavoro “Psicologia LGBT+” dell’Ordine degli Psicologi Sicilia; Armando Caravini, presidente Arcigay Siracusa; Alessandro Bottaro, presidente Stonewall Siracusa. Moderano le giornaliste Nadia Germano e Alessia Zeferino. Il Siracusa Pride 2023 è organizzato da: Arcigay Siracusa e Stonewall GLBT Siracusa in collaborazione con: Amnesty International - Gruppo Italia 85, Arci Siracusa, Arciragazzi Siracusa 2.0, Astrea in memoria di Stefano Biondo, Centro Antiviolenza Ipazia, CGIL, COBAS Scuola Siracusa, COBAS pubblico impiego Siracusa, Giosef Siracusa, Giovani Menti Libere, No all’Odio - Movimento di contrasto ai discorsi d’Odio, Rete Degli Studenti Medi Siracusa, UIL, Zuimama Arciragazzi.... #notizie #news #breakingnews #cronaca #politica #eventi #sport #moda Read the full article

Alfredo Ormando part 2 Authorities in the Roman Catholic Church downplayed the event, arguing that he was psychologically disturbed, had family problems and had not been making a protest against the Church. Ormando's actions are commemorated in St Peter's Square by human rights activists. In 2014, the filmmaker Andy Abrahams Wilson, produced a 40-minute documentary film called Alfredo's Fire for the San Francisco-based Open Eye Pictures. Wilson argued that, "Fire was the perfect allegory for the experiences of LGBT people. Fire is at once a self-annihilation, and harkens back to the Middle Ages when homosexuals were burned at the stake." #destroytheday https://www.instagram.com/p/BrdGaVOBu3e/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xo6kdel3o6fm

"Alfredo's Fire": The Self- Martyrdom of Alfredo Ormando
“Alfredo’s Fire”: The Self- Martyrdom of Alfredo Ormando
In January 1998 Alfredo Ormando, an Italian writer, set himself on fire in St Peter’s Square in the heart of the Vatican. Ormando was Catholic, and gay. In Catholic hagiography, the most famous image of a martyr burned at the stake is that of St Joan of Arc, condemned by the approved theologians of the Church as a heretic and martyred by the church, essentially for her transgression in dressing…

La giornata mondiale per il dialogo tra religioni e omosessualità in ricordo di Alfredo Ormando
Vent'anni fa Alfredo #Ormando si dava fuoco in Piazza San Pietro come forma di #denuncia contro la #discriminazione #omosessuale da parte della Chiesa.
Sono passati vent’anni dal giorno in cui Alfredo Ormando, poeta siciliano, uomo cattolico e omosessuale, si diede fuoco in Piazza San Pietro.
Figlio di contadini senza alcuna istruzione, la sua sessualità non venne mai accettata né dai suoi familiari né nel contesto sociale bigotto nel quale viveva.
    Ormandoera un uomo colto quanto esausto. Nei giorni prima del compimento di questo gesto…

Luxuria nel 2006 è stata la prima donna transgender a diventare parlamentare in Europa. Promotrice e prima firmataria della proposta di legge n. 2733 del 2007 intitolata “Norme in materia di diritti e libertà delle persone trans genere”.

Per tutte le info e gli approfondimenti basta seguire i profili Facebook e Instagram del Siracusa Pride A prendere la parola sono i presidenti di Arcigay Siracusa, Armando Caravini, e Stonewall Siracusa, Alessandro Bottaro. “Bel messaggio profondo e sentito da parte di Vladimir Luxuria – dichiara il presidente di Arcigay Siracusa, Armando Caravini - che sarà con noi a manifestare il 1° luglio al Siracusa Pride. Ti aspettiamo a braccia aperte cara amica di mille battaglie, grazie per aver scelto di manifestare insieme a noi con i nostri corpi le nostre istanze, le nostre battaglie per riportare luce all’oscurità sui diritti civili portata da questo governo reazionario e oscurantista. Vi aspettiamo il 1° luglio per il Siracusa Pride e vi invitiamo a seguire la pagina ufficiale per scoprire tutte le novità e il programma dettagliato”. “Stiamo attraversando un periodo politico e ideologico – dichiara il presidente di Stonewall Siracusa, Alessandro Bottaro - caratterizzato da corsi e ricorsi storici. Chi contesta pacificamente il boicottaggio della 194 viene denunciato, una donna transgender a Milano praticamente a terra, immobile ed indifesa, malmenata pesantemente con manganellate e spray urticante. E questi, purtroppo, non sono gli unici due esempi di un clima illiberale, pesante dai toni nostalgicamente neo fascisti! Oggi più che mai serve riappropriarci delle strade e delle piazze, non è più tempo della delega e del rimandare, oggi serve prendere parte e dire chiaro, forte ed inequivocabile verso chi ci schieriamo. Invito la comunità LGBTQIA+, e non solo, a prendere coscienza ed esserci, bella, chiassosa e più colorata di sempre! Affermare i nostri corpi in movimento e le nostre libertà è un diritto ed un dovere da difendere anche con le unghie e con i denti se necessario. Buon Pride a tutti”.... #notizie #news #breakingnews #cronaca #politica #eventi #sport #moda Read the full article

Alfredo Ormando (1958 – 23) was a gay writer from Palermo, Italy, who died as a result of setting himself on fire outside Saint Peter's Basilica. His self-immolation was an act of protest against the Roman Catholic Church's ongoing condemnation of homosexuality. Ormando's only published book was the novel Il Fratacchione ("The Overweight Monk"), which recounted his two years at a monastery attempting to get closer to God and to purify himself of "unclean" desires. The narrator in the book states, "It isn't true that gay is beautiful. On the contrary, it is a continual death on the inside. Either you accept being gay, or you kill yourself." On January 13, 1998, Ormando set himself on fire in St. Peter's Square close to where Pope John Paul II was addressing the crowds. Two policemen tried to extinguish the flames, and he was taken to Sant'Eugenio Hospital with third-degree burns over 90 percent of his body. He died 11 days later. Ormando was 39 years old. In December 1997 he wrote this letter to a friend of his in Reggio Emilia: "Palermo, Christmas 1997 Dear Adriano, this year I can’t feel it’s Christmas anymore, it is indifferent to me like everything; nothing can bring me back to life. I keep on getting ready for my suicide day by day; I feel this is my fate, I’ve always been aware but never accepted, but this tragic fate is there, it’s waiting for me with a patience of Job which looks incredible. I haven’t been able to escape this idea of death, I feel I can’t avoid it, nor can I pretend to live and plan I future I do not have; my future will just be a prosecution of this present. I live with the awareness of who’s leaving this life and this doesn’t look dreadful to me! No! I can’t wait for the day I will bring this life of mine to an end; they will think I am mad because I have chosen Saint Peter Square to be the place where I’ll set myself on fire, while I could do it here in Palermo as well. I hope they’ll understand the message I want to convey; it is a form of protest against the Church which demonises homosexuality, demonising nature at the same time, because homosexuality is its daughter. Alfredo." #destroytheday https://www.instagram.com/p/BrdGU4RBukE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fw9kty4iw73b
