Fish Swimming At Filter



Hello everyone and hello to all, how are you?
For the weekly in this blog with the openly gay singers (who are generally not promoted in Italy even to smear) today I chose a singer who is a bit 'the symbol of the global village in which we live. In fact today I would like to report nippo American singer-songwriter Danny Katz , which as you can guess from the name of religion is also Jewish ...
Let '... What can I tell him? Meanwhile, who is 33 years old, that is the sign of Aries is that since childhood he had a predisposition for music. In fact, he studied the piano since she was 4 years, the guitar since he was 13 and in the last 7 years he discovered a passion for jiuta-shamisen (The typical Japanese lute that you see in the picture below).
This cute boy loves walks on the beach and arrived at his seventh album (needless to say that none of them ever came to our country). He does not dare to call themselves "singers", and if someone asks him what he does say that it prefers one who likes to sing (traditional Japanese modesty). With regard to his homosexuality, he argues that its roots have sent the Japanese concept of sexual morality very different from the West, and that certainly allowed him to accept more easily. Love the pop of the 80 American and Japanese of 90 years, and having lived most of his life in New York has decided to move permanently to Tokyo, where he shot his latest video. Since this is the blog that shows you what the others do not show you, below you can see this video ... And above all you can hear his soft voice, warm and welcoming ...

Bravo, right? To be honest: the more I progress in my research of openly gay singers to offer more and makes me think that the prejudices of the Italian record in preventing many artists really good to be valued (or even mentions) as they should, perhaps to make room rubbish that is frightening to bring only the (presumed) heterosexuality of who sings. You
What do you think?

Double Vision - Catarac Vision

Look at '...

Hello everyone and hello to all, how are you? Start
the post today, indicating a small exhibition of homoerotic art that, for once, has an international feel and is held in Italy ... And more specifically at the general store in Milan Pier Pour Hom (from January 20 to February 26). The show in question is focused on the reinterpretation of the figure of Saint Sebastian, who for a variety of iconographic motifs and historians (too numerous to mention here) has always been considered something of a gay icon before its time.
For more information and a gallery full of twenty-five artists that make up this exhibition can CLICK HERE , but I wanted to stress that there will also be the work of a couple of artists who are diligently this blog ... That is, Padovani Mauro Ciani and Alex ...
Compliments & Congratulations! We hope that their works can be purchased by a rich collector, despite the widespread economic crisis. Hoping that this is only the first of many exhibitions of this kind, this opportunity also allows me to tell you that in the U.S. (where the situation actually is a gay art tantinello more advanced), has recently started the publication of a quarterly magazine very serious, caring and professional that takes care homoerotic art and art focused on the beauty of the naked male body in general ... It's called THE ART OF MAN and found your site CLICKING HERE.
Frankly I think it's feasible to even think such a move would, in today, would go well beyond science fiction ... But it's comforting to know that to get the magazine that is not complicated and now the English language is quite accessible. Besides, if you are an artist who created homoerotic works in classical style (so no style comics, manga or cartoon), you can submit your works, and this is a good thing. Also in this magazine is no shortage of in-depth articles and essays on the history of male nude and homoerotic art. Produced a mouth-watering, well ...
am personally of the opinion that art should be able to count on publications that make it accessible even to those who do not regularly attend museums and art galleries, also because unfortunately you can not create a true culture of art especially in those areas where museums and art galleries are absent, or maybe they are confined to very restricted areas. I think this speech applies in particular because of the homoerotic art, besides being very little known and publicized, it may even be opposed and boycotted regardless of its quality ...
The very fact that in Italy the exhibition that I mentioned at the beginning is taken in a trading (although now it is fashionable to call them open space), rather than in a museum or an art gallery (although this type of space certainly not lacking in Milan), speaks volumes about how far we still have to do before the homoerotic art can be cleared in a nation like ours, unless it is disguised as a classical art and / or religion, old or new it is ... And with all the appropriate distinctions.
The good news is that, thanks to the internet, now the information and ideas can move instantly from one continent to another, irrespective of the physical space made available, offering a range of stimuli and comparisons that were unthinkable a few years ago. Of course we must consider the cultural resistance of each individual situation, but at least now it is becoming more widely the idea that there is another world possible for art homoerotic and gay-themed comics. Again, this is definitely a good thing. And speaking of art, the information circulated and the fact that today is the Day of Remembrance for the victims of Nazism, I close by recalling the story of Marcello Lupetti (1952-2001), portrayed in the picture below ...
Probably most of you will wonder who is Marcello Lupetti, what to do with the Day Memory and art, and why you've never heard of ... Answer the last question is quite simple: because in Italy the concept of gay culture is a bit 'limited, especially for what concerns the art. As for the rest I think Memorial Day is sure to remember the victims of Nazism, including homosexuals, but also should make us think about how - even after the Nazis - Homosexuals continued to be persecuted by law in many nations. Marcello Lupetti, born in Argentina by Italian immigrants, lived in that terrible period of dictatorship, secret police took care to "disappear" people uncomfortable, including homosexuals. Miraculously escaped the dragnet in its umpteenth University, Marcello Lupetti was forced to leave his home, emigrating to Brazil and then luckily in Germany ... Before settling in Los Angeles ... Where he established himself as a sculptor, creating works that sought to represent his inner drama through beautiful male bodies and unfinished, like the lives of many people who had known ...
Unfortunately he died in 2001 following a heart attack, and his companion decided to give his statues to Tom of Finland Foundation, to enable it to gather a bit 'of funds. The Tom of Finland Foundation has therefore decided to use the money from the sale of those works to launch a fund dedicated to the memory of Marcello Lupetti, the Tom of Finland Foundation's Marcello Lupetti Artists Fund, which just serves to support homosexual artists in need. I wanted to make you think that all this would not have been possible if Marcello Lupetti had been summarily executed by the Argentine dictatorship, instead of fulfillment as an artist ...
Any homosexual who was imprisoned and executed only because he is homosexual is not an infinite number of possibilities for society, as well as unspeakable injustice, and I could not really use words to describe how horrible to think that this Currently, this situation is considered perfectly normal - or even "right" - in many countries around the world. Maybe we can not do much to these people, but I think that this awareness should inspire us to live as fully as possible and makes sense of our lives, perhaps without being in the shadows, even on behalf of all those people who can not do it without risking life. Hello
and the next.

Berlusconi in crisis, Veltroni ready to give him a hand ... Do

The silence of Walter
If bit 'ffa Veltroni lasted about two years, just in time to help out with Silvio Berlusconi in serious trouble.
his absence from the political scene, after the resignation of Secretary of the Democratic Party two years ago, no one had noticed, even Eugenio Scalfari that in the stain to unwarranted praise in today's editorial, has resigned mistaken belief that last year alone.
There is a risk that the loser Veltroni and his mentor are back on the field just to seal off Niki Vendola: a risk of allowing yet another resurrection of Berlusconi!
Who does not remember that it was the incomparable Walter the chief executive, before the fall of the Prodi government, then of Berlusconi's victory in 2008 with his vocation majority of PD that destroyed the Union of the Centre while The professor was still in the Palazzo Chigi?
now is back on the field and you can bet, will certainly aid in the deployment of Cape against him ...
shudder to recall only his silly words!
