DOUBLE LIFE

GRATITUDE

I want to thank all my family, friends, writers and readers for believing in me; But, I want to thank God in a special way, for allowing me to realize my dreams and for giving me the opportunity to become the writer I want to be. DEDICATION I want to dedicate this book to all the people who are going through a similar time to this book and although I am not gay, I want to dedicate this book to you, as you are my source of inspiration for this book. On the other hand, I want to dedicate this book to Pedro "La Divaza" because, thanks to him, I was able to make this book, which has been a wonderful journey for me, to feel firsthand; through interviews that I have seen, how they are forced to "come out of the closet". With this book and the journey that I have made to do it, I realized that no one should force anyone to say their sexual preferences, if they do not want to say them, no one has to force them. Simply thanks.

WHAT IS THE BOOK ABOUT? 

 This book talks about how, because of this Society, gays have to hide who they really are and pretend something they will never be. In a Society full of prejudices, criticism and self-centeredness, where same-sex love is not well seen; far from it, transvestites, two forbidden and forbidden loves are born, who will have to overcome obstacles if they want to be together. It is a single story in which its protagonists have to overcome many obstacles if they want to be happy. One of the obstacles they have to overcome is the approval of their respective families and friends of their sexual preferences. On the one hand, parents are obsessed with having male children, to continue with the male lineage and for their children to give them more males. These parents, as they are raised in the old fashioned way, do not accept having homosexual children or lesbian daughters because, for them, it is the worst aberration and humiliation they have ever felt and experienced and before telling the truth, they prefer to deny that they are their children. The other obstacle they have to overcome is friends. These friends were raised with the strong conviction that there is only love between man and woman and that there is no love of the same sex because that is an aberration and goes against the word of God. Finally, there is a third obstacle and it is the Society itself and its prejudices that only point to all those who do not strictly follow the rules already imposed. What would happen when your children fall in love with people of the same sex? How many obstacles will they have to go through to be happy? Can love be stronger than the obstacles they have to overcome?

WRONG THOUGHTS PEOPLE HAVE ABOUT THE LGBT COMMUNITY 

 "In a moralistic world full of prejudices like the one we are living in, it is not easy for anyone to tell their parents that they are homosexuals or lesbians, without taking them to a specialist to be electrocuted, to get it into their heads that being a lesbian or homosexual is nothing more than a disease, an aberration that is cured with electro shocks and that once "cured" they return to human beings " "For some old-fashioned parents, having a homosexual son or a lesbian daughter means the worst of aberrations and the worst humiliation for them who do not accept that their son or daughter is different or that their sexual preferences are totally different from the others " "In this world where having a male child is everything for parents, they do not tolerate that their child is homosexual or transvestite because it would be the end of them, as people and as human beings" "There are people who hide that they are homosexuals and lesbians, because they are afraid of rejection and humiliation from their family, friends and from a Society that is corrupted by other things"
