The sexual liberation group Morbor from Arrasate held a rally in the town square this morning, advocating for Arrasate to be a habitable, free, safe, and happy place for LGTBIQ+ individuals. Speaking for the group, Oihan Zubizarreta referenced the work and struggles of previous generations. The group highlighted that in this era of strengthening masculinity, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, and fascism, reactionary attitudes also influence daily gestures and behaviors.
They expressed their desire for a society where genders are subverted and bodies are not classified within rigid, binary categories. Their goal is to build a community that embraces liberating desires, moving beyond cisheteronormative classifications, and allowing individuals to feel free in friendships, sports, and festivities. To achieve this, they call for continued community building from a transfeminist perspective, carrying the anti-fascist flag, creating references against hate and oppression, and offering mutual support.
At the end of the rally, they expressed their support for the Euskal Udalekuak (Basque Summer Camps). Meanwhile, in Aretxabaleta, a demonstration called by Lohixak and Atxabalta Harro has been postponed to eight o'clock this evening and will start from the town square.
Yesterday, Saturday, the Atxabalta Harro Eguna (Proud Day) was celebrated, marking the association's fifth anniversary. The event began in the morning with a proclamation. Association member Beñat Arizabaleta recalled that June 28th is celebrated to remember the rights and spaces achieved through the tears and sweat of those who came before. He emphasized that despite improvements, the struggle still has a long way to go, as thousands of people still live without basic rights in many places.
