6th Erotic and Post-Porn Film Showcase of Bogotá
More of a faggot is the one who does not love.

We are Love, we are Counterculture.

Since time immemorial, humanity has felt its emotions on the surface and in a visceral way; we have felt love and hate voraciously toward others and toward ourselves. Wars have been fought for love and crimes have been committed out of hate—hate for what we do not understand and with which we do not agree or have not shared.

As humans, we have shaped the narrative of different periods as we have seen fit; after all, history is written by the winners, and those who win are rarely fair to those who are not on their boat.

Although it seemed that the days of hate, double standards, and intolerance had been left behind, the news and headlines speak to a completely different reality. Increasingly, cases of harassment and hate crimes against members of the LGBTIQ+ community are heard of and witnessed, and worse still, the pressure of traditional powers against us is felt more and more.

While we have to endure harassment and violent behavior disguised as satire or humor, while we have to endure explicit hatred and contempt in their communications, intolerance toward our very existence resurfaces from the darkness where those who once suffered it had managed to banish it, and it takes aggressive and violent form against us, threatening our well-being.

When the heteronormative, patriarchal political and religious world creates laws that exclude a part of the population; when it is frowned upon for two men to walk down the street holding hands and they are confronted by generally conservative, God-fearing adults; when hate crimes are committed against trans people or anyone considered different from the social canon of man or woman, it is necessary that we draw the line and not allow apathy, hatred, and cruelty to continue unchecked toward a future in which exclusion once again becomes the norm, in which loving becomes a crime again.

That is why we call on the excluded, the queer, lesbians, gays, trans people, intersex people, transvestites, drag queens and drag kings… the maricas, hermaphrodites, putos, the members of the alphabet, muff-divers, faggots, butterflies, benders, and many more names we have been called over time,

Come and hang out,
Come and show your way of loving,
Come and let us celebrate the fact that we continue along this path for which many gave their lives, and for which we cannot allow it to have been in vain.

In times of hate, loving is revolutionary.
