Madonna envía un mensaje de apoyo al colectivo LGBT en Rusia.
Si sigues la Human Rights Campaign habrás recibido un correo de la mismísima Madonna. La Reina del Pop está en modo solidario al 100%. Ha acompañado a Sean Penn a Haití y ,mientras, nos escribe una emocionante carta en la que nos pide que luchemos por los derechos LGBT en Rusia.
Madonna muestra su apoyo al colectivo LGBT en Haití
Madonna se ríe de la multa que le impone Rusia por visibilizar al colectivo LGBT
Nos dice cosas como "En este momento tan peligroso en la historia de Rusia, tenemos la responsabilidad de alzar nuestra voz y convertir nuestro mensaje en algo global". Se une así a la campaña 'Love Conquers Hate', que promueve, como bien dice, el amor por encima del odio.
Hemos de recordar que las verdaderas víctimas son el colectivo LGBT ruso, chicos y chicas, hombres y mujeres que son criminalizados en su propio país.
Te dejamos con la carta completa en inglés:
Dear fellow equality supporter,
“Love conquers hate.” It’s an iconic message that the Human Rights Campaign’s members and supporters have spread to millions around the United States.
But right now in Russia, LGBT people and our allies who support basic fairness and dignity face a different reality. They are being targeted by hateful new laws that outlaw support for LGBT equality. Even with the 2014 Sochi Olympics just a few months away, fair-minded Russians are facing fines, harassment, and violence at the hand of thugs.
At this dangerous moment in Russian history, we as advocates have a responsibility to speak up and take our hopeful message global. That’s why I’m joining HRC’s Love Conquers Hate Campaign, in hopes that more and more fair-minded people around the world will stand up and fight against the Russian government’s campaign of hate.
Right now, you can send that message directly to the Russian people and proved much-needed support to LGBT advocates in Russia by purchasing the Russian-language Love Conquers Hate t-shirt. And once you have your t-shirt, share a picture of yourself wearing it on social media using #LoveConquersHate. With your help, we can make this simple message go global.
Make no mistake about it: the goal of these hateful laws is to leave LGBT Russians feeling isolated. Worthless. Completely alone.
Together, we can send a message to LGBT Russians that the world is on their side, and that those who seek to support them aren’t alone in this fundamental fight for fairness.
It’s time for love to conquer hate everywhere, for everyone. I hope you’ll stand with me in this fight.
Sincerely,
Madonna Ciconne
