Second Life joins the celebration of the GayPride, as it has been doing for several years. SecondPride festival, with the motto of “Celebrating diversity�, has been a meeting point and reflection for the gay community and the rest of residents of this virtual environment. Although it is over, in this monograph we want to record the efforts of some of the best creators to celebrate this event, with exclusive gifts
and creations. We also want to do some historical remembrance, for those who want to know the origins and some notes about music as hymns of the gay community.

Second Pride Celebrate Diversity
How it started in RL, By Marc Fenrisulfr
A little history
The history of the gay rights movement is usually dated to 1969, when the patrons of a New York City bar fought back against a discriminatory police raid. At the time, homosexuality — or “sodomy,” as it was referred to in the legal books — was still a crime. Men could be arrested for wearing drag, and women faced the same punishment if they were found wearing less than three pieces of “feminine clothing.” The harassment continued for years, infuriating the gay community. On June 28, 1969, the police arrived at the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in Greenwich Village. However, the 200 patrons inside didn’t just sit down and wait to be arrested — they resisted, then rioted, sending the police a loud and clear message about their frustration with the status quo for LGBT individuals. If you ever wondered why Pride month takes place in June, now you know that it’s not just because of the generally pleasant weather. It’s historically relevant, too!
“Gay Pride” Was Coined in 1970 Gay communities around the country immediately latched on to the Stonewall riots as an event that brought attention to their cause. Just a year later, in 1970, a committee was formed to commemorate the riots. The problem? The committee didn’t have a name for the series of events it wanted to hold in honor of LGBT rights. It tossed around the slogan “gay power” for a bit, but when committee member L. Craig Schoonmaker suggested “gay pride,” everyone else agreed on the phrase right away. “People did not have power then; even now, we only have some,” Schoonmaker said in a 2015 interview with The Allusionist’s Helen Zaltzman. “But anyone can have pride in themselves, and that would make them happier as people, and produce the movement likely to produce change.”

This year: ’Who cares’, from Alaska and Dinarama: The one chosen as an official anthem of World Pride Madrid with a choral version, although nothing like the original 1986, pop punk spirit included in a disc that was also titled “It is not sin “. Thalía re-recorded it years later and set the video in a gay club. Alaska commented to the gay magazine Shangay what to her means the letter of this theme. “Who cares is a song that speaks everyone has an opinion even if it is not yours and that does not matter, starting with yourself, what others think for better or for worse. Also think nothing about the one next door, “explained the gay diva. new version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpwRRWH3Nl0
“La gente me señala Me apuntan con el dedo Susurra a mis espaldas Y a mi me importa un bledo Que mas me da Si soy distinta a ellos No soy de nadie No tengo dueño...”
“People point me They point the finger at me Whispers behind my back I do not give a shit But what gives me If I am different from them I’m nobody’s I do not have an owner...”
Gay party music
Some iconic songs: “I Will Survive,” Gloria Gaynor, 1978 In 2014, Gaynor caught heat from the gay community when she delayed a gig at The Abbey in West Hollywood. Citing her religious beliefs, she reportedly insisted that managers remove all the go-go dancers from the room. Controversy aside, this song’s staying power is undeniable: RuPaul sent two queens packing on the same episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race for not doing justice to a lip sync of the gay staple. “Dancing Queen,” ABBA, 1976 Fun fact: Former Republican presidential nominee John McCain listed this chart-topping song (which hit No. 1 in 1977) as his favorite song during the 2008 election cycle. “I Want to Break Free,” Queen, 1984 The gayest song from Queen’s catalogue was surprisingly not written by Freddie Mercury. Rather, it was this anthem that had the whole band dress in soap opera-inspired drag characters for its music video. “We Are Family,” Sister Sledge, 1979 This song plays during the famous scene in The Birdcage where Gene Hackman dons drag to avoid being noticed by the paparazzi. While the four members of Sister Sledge are actual sisters, the song took on a deeper meaning with the gay community being one big family. “True Colors,” Cyndi Lauper, 1986 Inspired by her lesbian sister, Lauper has been an advocate throughout her career. Years after the uplifting ballad hit No. 1 on the Hot 100, Lauper co-founded the True Colors Fund, a nonprofit dedicated to ending homelessness for LGBT youth. “Smalltown Boy,” Bronski Beat, 1984 This heartbreaking piece of ‘80s synth-pop tells the story of a runaway whose family rejects him for being gay. “Freedom! ‘90,” George Michael, 1990 While it was widely speculated that this was his version of coming out (“I think it’s time I told you so / there’s something deep inside of me / there’s someone else I’ve got to be”), Michael explained that the song was actually about liberating himself from his former image with the band Wham!. Nearly a decade later, Michael came out publicly. “Y.M.C.A.,” Village People, 1978 This disco classic was taken by many as an implicit ode to the gym’s reputation as a popular cruising location -- it even comes from an album titled Cruisin’’. “Y.M.C.A.” hit No. 2 on the Hot 100 in 1979, but has since become a parody of itself. Thankfully, Grindr exists these days.
