I am biased as I am from Spain, but swearing in Spanish is a mouthful of sounds and attitude, and a lot more satisfying than if I ever do it in English. Zendaya doesn't understand Rosalía here, but she is scared for sure.
I genuinely cannot understand how generation above me ended up here. We grew up idolising David Bowie and through him discovered Lou Reed and Iggy Pop. We lived through punk and post punk smashing gender norms in public. We watched Prince blur masculinity and desire. We danced to Boy George. We worshipped Grace Jones. Then came the flamboyance of the eighties where androgyny excess and self invention were celebrated. Gender bending was not a threat. It was art. It was freedom. It was cool.
So how did the same generation become so hostile to people simply existing outside rigid boxes. How did we go from celebrating difference to fearing it. This backlash does not come from culture or history. It comes from forgetting who we were and what we stood for. None of this is new. Get over it.
Bruce Springsteen sobre Trump: «Me importa un bledo lo que piense de mí. Es la viva imagen de lo que significaron la Enmienda 25 y el impeachment. Si el Congreso tuviera agallas, lo relegarían al basurero de la historia». ¡RETWEET si apoyas a @springsteen
BRUTAL: Jimmy Kimmel thrashes Trump's capture of Venezuelan dictator Maduro: "Yes, he's a criminal and a dictator who's driven his country into financial ruin, while he and his family have lined their own pockets, but Maduro is no saint either."
