Overview
Un testimonio personal de la periodista queer Laura Terciado acerca de su experiencia de vida como lesbiana y defensora de los derechos del colectivo LGBT.
Seguramente alguna vez hayas sentido que todos son normales menos tú.
Yo nací y crecí en Ávila pensando que era la única lesbiana de la ciudad y estando segura de que el Diablo vendría a por mí.
Me sentía sola, rara, atrapada en una "fase" que se eternizaba y dentro de un armario con tantas puertas que creía que jamás sería capaz de salir de él.
Odiaba el instituto, odiaba el color rosa, odiaba los motes, los insultos, las preguntas, la palabra lesbiana. Pero, por encima de todas las cosas, me odiaba a mí misma.
Hasta que exploté. Y todo saltó por los aires.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The personal testimony of queer journalist Laura Terciado about her life as a lesbian and defender of the LGBT community.
Have you ever felt that everyone is normal except for you?
I grew up in Ávila convinced that I was the only lesbian in the city and that the Devil would surely come for me.
I felt alone, weird, stuck in a “phase” that become permanent, in a closet with so many doors that I thought I’d never find my way out.
I hated school, the color pink, the nicknames, insults, questions, and the word lesbian. Most of all, I hated myself.
Until I exploded. And everything blew up.
