Maricas malas

"But, if you can get married now, what more do you want?" What can you want beyond forming a productive family, bringing new workers into the world, obtaining some tax reduction and ensuring that, when we die, it will be the blood of our blood that inherits the little that we have accumulated with our sweat? from our forehead? Is there anything better, a more hopeful promise, than the desired, claimed and finally achieved normality? The chimera of normality, understood as a specific way of consumption, has become an obstacle to social and class struggles. The desire to assimilate to that which is "normal", to go unnoticed, has silenced in the debate dissidence and ways of life far from the capitalist productive and reproductive system. In contrast, we should be able to demand more than ever other ways of life that invite the entire society to transform itself from the margins, to faggot, to revolutionize affections, cares and, also, pleasures. An alternative path, a collective horizon that does not rule out the discordant realities with a society whose epicenter is the nuclear and cishetero family. Christo Casas, journalist and anthropologist, presents in Maricas malas a text halfway between an essay and a personal story in which we will discover that queer struggles are a demand that concerns us all, a true social and class struggle to build a collective future from dissidence. A lucid essay that constitutes a true invitation to the entire society to delve into its own dissident practices and take pride in them.
