The Gay Pride Day

This week is celebrated the international gay pride day event, although it works for five days. It's impressive the amount of people that gay movement moves around the world. I am not really interested about it but neither I am against them. The famous Conchita Wurst came to Madrid to proclaim the party.
It is easy to notice the force of this movement in the world, the news, in last years, is full of controversial topics about gay marriage, the adoption of children, mainly. This movement have achieved the support of a lot of political parties around the world.

They have even achieved to cross the wall of the laws religious of the church.

The Anglican church has approved the gay marriage. The Catholic church is divided between conservatives and reformers. Some controversial comments:

"Some wrongly say that everyone can choose its own sexual orientation, with regardless of the body where you have been born. But the sexual identity is not chosen, it is a gift that you receive."(Spanish Catholic church).

"If anyone is gay, follows to God and has good will, who am I to judge him ? (Francisco Pope)

    (1) We rarely use "celebrate" in the sense of "llevar a cabo".
    (2) This is a good phrase to master.

  2. I like "to kick off"
    we say formally "dar el pregón"
    we say informally "dar el pistoletazo de salida" (said in sports)
