I Love Men With Big Noses Why

dangerous summer - 9. His Will be done

A. Gentileschi, Judith Slaying Holofernes, 1612-13 (Naples, Museo di Capodimonte)

As you know, on 28 July, the Catalan Parliament approved an ILP (People's Initiative Act) which provides, From 1 January 2012, the abolition of bullfighting in the region.

"His will be done"


For love can not forgive

That damned sentence would not stop tormenting me.
Manuel was as if, when hearing, had not only spoken of the relationship between him and Felipe, but also about myself, my life, all those little cracks that I pretended not to see.

Born in
the roaring nightlife we were to share with teens the city where we lived, where everything seemed possible, and allow us to test everything.
Madrid changed and our parents resigned themselves to see change with her, convinced that, after all, the cultural chasm that separated us was just a good thing.
But this rebellion, which to us seemed so extraordinarily revolutionary, was protected in the enclosure of a friendship was born when the first kisses were exchanged data for more curiosity than passion.
Diego and I have always been proud to be different from the others: more dreamers, more determined, more united. A duo
invincible and steel, such as strip cartoons, a microcosm of self and mutual powered by an instinctive sense of protection.
