I would die to go to The Three Sisters, in #Alberta, #Canada
. The #CanadianRockies are simply stunning. I'm in love with Canada.
I had forgotten how poignant the movie Brokeback Mountain was until my professor, today, started talking about the novel by Annie Proulx and the movie directed by Ann Lee (2005). That was the year when the same-sex marriage law was passed, both in Canada and in #Spain. It allowed couples of the same sex to legally enjoy the same rights and responsibilities as heterosexual couples.
When I watched the movie back then, I was shocked. It was unthinkable to see two rough men exploring their emotional and sexual orientation in the midst of a hostile dominant homophobic culture. #LGBTQ+phobia destroys human beings, and this novel/movie sends an important message that still resonates nowadays: no one should suffer for loving someone else, no one should feel guilty for who they are. We all need to feel accepted, we all need to feel supported, and we all need to feel loved without fear.
