FORMER GHOSTS
“If he ever makes you cry or goes around telling you lies
If he ever decides to break your heart just know i loved you
From the start
If he starts acting distant or kind of funny
Won't kiss you in public or call you honey
If he is always looking to start a fight
My doorstep is always open any time of the night
If he gets a wandering eye and sleeps around
Your romance is stale and you are feeling bound
If he won't buy that ring and you think of me
Just know that i would have gotten down on one knee
i'm still right here
I'm still right here”

#paragraphs. Global gay: 12 excerpts and music videos of LGBTQI life around the world
Extracts taken from the book Global Gay. Comment la révolution gay change le monde. Martel, Fréderic (2013). Paris: Editions Flammarion.
We are passing, in Europe and America, from the criminalization of homosexuality to the criminalization of homophobia. In times gone by it was difficult to be openly homosexual, but today it is difficult to be openly homophobic.
La Nueva Guardia - Nadie podrás decirnos que no. Buenos Aires, 2014.
The gay question becomes a good criteria for judging the state of democracy and the modernity of a country.
La Evolución del Hombre al Pájaro - Barba de tornado australiano de fuego. Madrid, 2015.
The defense of gay rights is becoming the new frontier of human rights.
Julieta Venegas - Te vi. Tijuana, 2013.
For a long time, left wing politicians in general, and homosexuals in particular, believed that the gay liberation would come from socialist regimes, whether he was communist, Trotskyist Maoist or Castro. And then one fine day, everyone realized that they were very homophobic dictatorships.
Austra - Beat and the Pulse. Toronto, 2011.
Gays may enter globalization, gay capitals become Americanized, gay middle classes emerge at full speed, but homosexuality often continues to be lived in a crazy way. It is steeped in national culture and regional specificities. Gays are global and local.
Alex Anwandter - ¿Cómo puedes vivir contigo mismo?. Santiago, 2012.
In post-gay neighborhoods, Do they actually talk about homosexuality?
The Oaths - Distinto. Guadalajara, 2016.
Although homosexuality is universal, its recognition isn't. The gay question remains fractured; not so much between East and West, as is often thought, not even between the North and the South, but within every civilization, within every continent, and sometimes, within each country. There are not two homosexualities, the western one and the eastern one. There is no clash of sexualities. There is no gay clash of civilization.
Alexis Blair Penney - Lonely Sea. San Francisco, 2011.
There is a class of homosexuality which, in high society, is tolerated by the regime whenever it is discreet or even secret. The very nature of the system demands it, because Sunni dogmatic Islam forces Muslims to be non-heterosexual before marriage.
Furfriend - Geck. Berlin, 2012.
In Amman, as in Havana, Damascus, Tehran, Riyadh, Cairo, Mumbai or in Beijing, gay life is an underground, anti-conventional, risky, and a wonderful counterpart.
Former Ghosts - New Orleans. Los Angeles, 2011.
Everywhere gay nightlife is elastic, ephemeral locals and gays live daily. Or rather, they live nightly.
The Kills - Baby Says. London, 2011.
Is it possible to be so young and look so tired? And have nothing but the history of your life?
Vanity - Arca. Caracas, 2015.
Globalization does not erase the differences within the homosexual world, but rather it enshrines them. Therefore,there is a more powerful value than that of diversity: that of differences within the minorities themselves. The diversity of diversity.
Perfume Genius - Queen. Seattle, 2014.
“Our locked eyes and your shy glance away
The way your hand fits in mine
Clutching your ring
The cold side of the bed
Your perfume on my sheets
Don't let these days stretch into weeks
A missed call
Your missed voice
A missed chance at real happiness
Candle light
A bottle of wine
My days are long
And my nights I don't remember
It's my fault
I fell in love in the first place
If you leave this city
Take me with you
Or don't look back
If you leave this city
Take me with you
Or don't look back
A box sled for two
Summer night swims
Look in my eyes and ask me what 'm thinking
I'll tell you it's you, only you
Denying our hearts
And untouched lips
I have a plan
We'll leave here together
Have that life we always dreamt of
Wooden floors, chandeliers
And you can tell me I'm not dreaming
It's all my fault
I fell in love in the first place
It's all my fault
I fell in love in the first place
If you leave this city
Take me with you
Or don't look back
If you leave this city
Take me with you
Or don't look back
If you leave this city
Take me with you
Or don't look back
If you leave this city
Take me with you
Or don't look back
It's all my fault
I fell in love in the first place
It's all my fault
I fell in love in the first place”
“Can we rewrite history? and do you even want to?
All the doors i thought were closed but never ever locked
Two swallows always coming back to retrace the lines on our hands
My knees are always weak, my heart it always drops
I'm still in love with you. i'm still in love with you
Round and round again
And when you kiss me, it seals my fate
Pull back all your bandages and show me all your wounds
Show what time has healed, and which ones are left
I promise to mend them if you promise to mend mine
I promise to mend to mend them just promise to mend mine
I'm still in love with you, i'm still in love with you
Round and round again
And when you kiss me, it seals my fate”
