Let's talk about #SoyGayYDelPP

"Do you get a little kick out of being slow-minded?"

"F*ck You" - Lily Allen

I've already made my insight on Spanish politics. It isn't a topic I especially want in my blog, but as a person who knows which factors my life and future are driven by, I know the worst I can possibly do for myself is ignoring it.

However, politics as a topic has many spheres and issues to deal about. Political parties are in a constant struggle to convince overevolved monkeys like us that they are relatable from their unrealistic state of apparently sempiternal –until someone grabs a gun– economic privilege, and, for the pursue of that end, they have the need of using certain displays of character with the focus of resembling those outside that privilege state.

One of those desperate attempts to catch the vast minority's attention was the spreading of the Spain-bound epidemic known in social media like Twitter as #SoyGayYDelPP (something like #I'mGayAndIMilitateThePP). And, as to discuss about it, I'd like to analyze what that hashtag says, just the meaning of the words.

We're before a statement of the structure "I'm part of an LGBT collective and of a right-wing party." It's not that it's a common structure in other sentences of the kind, it's just that the structure is important in this case: this could basically translate to "I'm part of a minority and I'm against equality."

And, no, the right wing cannot be pro-equality. The right wing is, as an ideology, the defense of a system based on the generation of inequality, at least in the economic plane –also known as Capitalism–, so it is a contradiction to have equality in any sense as a finality and sympathise with the right wing. However, this translated to the LGBT sphere makes yet another twist: we're speaking about a collective of LGBT persons who want not equality for LGBT minorities but individual privilege for themselves: we're not speaking about a mass, or even a minority, we're speaking about a lobby.

And I think by this point we can all recognize where the problem is.

We cannot fight back against people reducing our struggle to "the gay lobby's agenda" when the public eye's grasp is filling with people proving them right: how can I tell a homophobe that gays don't want to have privilege over heterosexuals or even that gays aren't everything inside the LGBT collective when everything that can be seen are gays seeking individual privilege?

This could even link to other problems and issues related to LGBT rights and visibility if overlooked: it perpetuates the stereotyping of the homosexual male while also contributing to the undercategorization and dismissal of other LGBT minorities: we're not speaking about a political party with a stablishing diverse LGBT circle like Podemos or with even a long stablished one and even with transgender visible members and deputies like PSOE, no, we're before the common representation of the gay –rich, white– man as the totality of the LGBT collective, stereotyping and nomalization included. That, though, is another issue.
