LGBT International Film Festival in Florence
Since its inception, the LGBT community has created various events, marches, happenings, different protest options as well as information dissemination and educational meetings to create a better dialogue with the dominant hetero culture which remains nowadays as the general sexual pattern in Western society. Despite that there have been many centuries of gay and lesbian knowledge and practices, the heterosexual community continues to dominate the planet. The presence of religious texts like the Bible as well as many other texts of a religious order, let us know that the line of religion and political power have always been together. This is not new, certainly religious beliefs or faiths of any creed are above any book, religion or faith. The church above all, “churches” have served as centers of education and control of prevailing political powers.

Let´s say that today, in Europe and elsewhere, governments have a secular tendency. But what is apparently “secular” does not necessarily mean “tolerant.” Think of recent bans in France with regard to the prohibitions to pray or pray in public, among others prohibitions. What will be the next step? And what happens if one is gay and Muslim at the same time? Again, faith is above any sexual orientation, but political and religious controls demonize this reality, deny it. It is clear that the Muslim culture is much more anti-tolerant to these options. However, the reality of the Judeo-Christian “Western” society is not so different.
The Catholic Church has always been a very strong in Italy. Where the Vatican coffers and retains all its inexhaustible sources of money, of which not much is said, and the fact is that the LGBT community is not necessarily appropriate. Over the years, this has been changing and it is increasingly recognized that the LGBT community is more than present in Italy this has been possible thanks to a large number of activists, protests, cultural events and celebrations that provide presence the ever emerging LGBT community. Among these options you have the LGBT International Film Festival in Florence, which runs from November 25th to December 1st. The best of gay , lesbian, queer, LGBT cinema, call it as you like is ready to be viewed and enjoyed. The truth is that there is difference, and the difference is what really counts.
