Dies ist keine Fun-Parade! Dieser Tag ist zum einen ein Gedenktag an die Opfer trans*phober Gewaltverbrechen und Morde und zum anderen ein Ort an dem wir gemeinsam verstorbener trans*gender und ihrer Arbeit -gegen das Vergessen einer kampfreichen Geschichte- gedenken und feiern wollen.
Gleichzeitig ist es uns wichtig, etwas politisch gegen die Repression und Diskriminierung von trans*gendern und queeren Lebensweisen zu erreichen.

CANDLE LIGHT
Una candela per ogni persona che nell’ultimo anno è rimasta vittima di violenze a causa del suo essere
transgender. Raccontiamo le tragiche storie degli ultimi mesi per testimoniare che la discriminazione, l’odio e la violenza, soprattutto nei confronti delle persone trans, non sono ancora sconfitti. Uomini e donne che affrontano la transizione in cerca della propria identità, stabilità e felicità personale, spesso costretti a prostituirsi o a subire sul luogo di lavoro battute e ritorsioni. a seguire proiezione di
BOYS DON’T CRY
regia di Kimberly Peirce Brandon vuole essere un maschio, il suo passato lo vuole cancellare anche dalla sua carta d’identità. Vuole essere un playboy che faccia impazzire tutte le femmine dei paesi di provincia, quelli in cui il tempo sembra non passare mai. Ma Brandon non ha i soldi per cambiare sesso, trova altri stratagemmi: si comprime il seno con le fasce fino a farlo scomparire, si taglia i capelli, si guarda allo specchio e si esercita a corrucciare le sopracciglia per avere uno sguardo da duro, da maschio. Uno dei film più belli del cinema LGBT.
