You are The World

Michael Jackson (1958-2009)

Millones de personas, en los lugares más recónditos del mundo siguieron ayer el funeral del Rey del Pop, más endiosado que nunca y a punto de ser canonizado en una ceremonia, la de ayer, que tras la confusión de los últimos días causó sorpresa por su emotividad, transparencia y fantástica organización. Al fin y al cabo, es verdad, se trataba de despedir al artista más universal de todos los tiempos.

Me gustó escuchar a todos cantando aquel mítico “We are the world”. Me gustó el niño Shaheen. Me gustó que fuera una ceremonia negra, protagonizada por afro americanos, y me gustó el histrionismo del reverendo.

"Some people are gay. Get over it"!

Open closets, rights, freedom, joy… Doctors, teachers, sports people, army, policemen, fire fighters, sex workers, politicians, performers, artists, lawyers, journalists, older people, proud parents, children…

British Airways, Pearson, NHS, HM Revenue, Arsenal, Councils, Facebook, Amnesty International… Gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgender, heterosexuals... Londoners and tourists. All together, celebrating changes, across central London, in the Pride Parade 2009. All still fighting –outdoors– for equality.
