I had never been so conscious about how much a holiday like Valentine's Day is concentrated on heterosexuality and the need for diversity when celebrating events focused on couples and family until now, when this year my college threw an event promoting just that.
From the article in El Nuevo Dia:
"El portavoz del Comité Contra la Homofobia, Omar Ayala, explicó que este evento procura visibilizar la diversidad de amores y cambiar la mirada que se hace del Día de Los Enamorados, que solo fomenta el amor heterosexual."
Next year we should all take a part in showing support for all couples, from all walks of life. If you live in PR, did you attend the event? Do you support the development of more events from this nature?
