Although there are still many conservatives who fight against same-sex relationships, we are going through a moment of universal awareness about respect for others, in which there has been increasing discussion about the diversity and plurality of societies.
Nowadays, in many countries, two people of the same sex can marry, in Spain there is still a lot to advance, however, here, it is possible to recognize by law a stable union between homosexuals. Since March 2015, a measure has also been in force that authorizes transvestites and transsexuals to be addressed by their social names in educational institutions and public service bodies, in addition to the use of bathrooms, changing rooms and other spaces separated by gender. according to sexual preference.
It is important to recognize that people are free to make their choices, in the same way that we think the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton is beautiful, we need to see the beauty of the love of a homosexual couple constituting a family, such as the American Melanie Roy and Vanessa Iris Roy, who drew attention after posting photos of their first and second pregnancy on their Instagram.
The photos were taken in January 2012, when Vanessa was pregnant with the couple's first child, Jax, and in January of this year, when Melanie was expecting little Ero. The couple reproduced the two photos in the same way, on a beach, kissing and showing off their belly. With the images side by side, the family became known around the world, inspiring other gay couples to come out and live their love.
However, although much has been discussed around the subject, we still need to fight a lot of prejudice and discrimination, with this aim, photographer Braden Summers created the project All Love Is Equal (“All Love is Equal”), where he photographed homosexual couples in poses romantic according to the culture of each place, Summers traveled to six different countries: United Kingdom, France, India, Lebanon, United States and Spain, showing how beautiful love is in all its forms.
Regardless of opinions, mutual respect and the freedom of each one to be what they want!
