SP 05 Queer Fever

Deviating from the norm should be a super normal part of everyday existence, as aside from making the world a more colorful place, it just makes life that much more worth living. Sadly, in many countries it is still impossible to present one’s true identity in public with confidence and trust, although even early Christian art depicts queer figures romping about. So here we go again with Spanish boys fighting to live their tango love, young individuals at quirky sex parties, and the attempt to simply treat things as normal that the majority still appears incapable of grasping as such.
