HISTORY OF STONEWALL - The Stonewall Riots were a series of spontaneous, often times violent, demonstrations by members of the gay community against a police raid that took place in early morning hours of June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn in New York City. They are widely considered to constitute the single most important event leading to the gay liberation movement and the modern fight for LGBTQ rights in the United States.

legend Elton John in Rocketman, which is currently playing worldwide in theaters. According to reports, Taron actually moved in with Elton to help him learn the correct mannerisms. Egerton told Man About Town magazine: “I spent a fair bit of time with him before we started shooting. I went and stayed with him before we started shooting and he let me read his diaries and I hung out with him and got to ask him things….which certainly protects me a bit.” The research apparently has paid off. Egerton is getting rave reviews for his portrayal of the Tiny Dancer singer. SOURCE: Yahoo.com

ADoDoggone Good Time you love going to the movies but hate leaving your four-legged friend at home? Well, a move theater in Texas has incorporated an idea that will make both you and your pooch wag your tails. K9 Cinemas, which is located in Plano, Texas is now dog-friendly and allows moviegoers to watch older films with up to two of their dogs. At $15 per ticket you get comfortable seating, bottomless wine and admission for your dogs. They had me at bottomless wine, but having two fur babies to snuggle is the cherry on top. Moviegoers must follow the theaters rules when bringing their canines: clean up after your pet, keep them on a leash and providing valid paperwork on up to date shots. Let’s see if this catches on in the rest of the country. SOURCE: UPI.com

A University of Pennsylvania study has found that men with shaved heads are seen as more dominant, taller and stronger than men with hair. But don’t grab the razor just yet, guys. The study also found that men with shaved heads were seen as “considerably less attractive” than those with a full head of hair. As if! Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham and David Beckham would beg to differ. SOURCE: Upenn.edu

La historia de Roatán, es una historia que está compuesta de una serie de batallas navales, conquistas, migraciones, retiradas, todo mientras sucedían las constantes guerras entre el imperio inglés y el imperio británico. La isla Roatán perteneces al conjunto de las islas Bahía que conforman un archipiélago junto otras dos
88 | Hotspots.LGBT
islas que son Útila y Guanaja y otros diversos cayos e islotes, que inicialmente se encontraban habitados por los Mayas y posteriormente por los Payas, para el siglo 16 a estas islas llegan los colonizadores españoles, quienes llegaron a la isla con esclavos africanos formando parte de su tripulación. Posteriormente para el siglo 17
los ingleses llegan a la isla con garífunas o caribes negros que provenían de la isla San Vicente, en el año 1770, cabe destacar que los isleños de piel blanca llegan desde el Gran Caimán y otros países pertenecientes a Europa como por ejemplo Irlanda, Italia, Dinamarca, entre otro, luego la isla sufre una total invasión por parte de los ingleses. En ese momento el gobierno del país cercano a la isla Roatán, Honduras, reclama las islas, por lo que estos junto al gobierno de Reino Unido, acuerdan firmar un tratado en donde los ingleses le devuelven las islas de la Bahía a Honduras, por el hecho de que estas se encontraban y encuentra en sus aguas territoriales. La isla de Roatán está localizada a unos 56 kilómetros de la Costa Atlántica de Honduras, justo en el Mar Caribe. Roatán forma parte y además es la isla principal de lo que se conoce como el departamento insular de Islas de la Bahía. Roatán es la más grande de las tres islas pertenecientes a Honduras que conforman las Islas de la Bahía. La isla Roatán limita en sus puntos Norte, Sur y Oeste con el Océano Atlántico y al Este con el Municipio de José Santos Guardiola de Honduras. Esta isla esta geográficamente está formada por una serie de colinas que poseen una abundante vegetación. La principal característica de la isla es que esta se rodea de bonitos cocoteros, además de poseer arenas blancas y un agua cristalina que permite la admiración de distintas especias bajo esta. Las islas Bahía, que el nombre que se le
da al grupo de isla al que pertenece Roatán, posee un clima tropical muy agradable, con gran influencia marítima, además de una temperatura promedio de 27 C, sin embargo, en época de invierno esta temperatura puede disminuir hasta los 12 C, al momento de la llegada de los frentes fríos. Su relativa humedad es de 25%, aunque alrededor de la isla si se puede hallar bastante humedad, debido a la evaporación del océano. En cuanto a las precipitaciones, estas tienen una intensidad moderada, sin embargo, de vez en cuando la isla presenta fuertes lluvias, el promedio de lluvias al mes esta entre las 5 a 10 lluvias, el que se den huracanes tampoco es continuo, esto suelen pasar cada 10 años, pero estos son de una intensidad muy baja, pues estos no causas grandes daños. Muchos se estarán preguntando cual es la mejor época del año para visitar Roatán. Al estar en el Caribe, el clima es predominantemente tropical y bastante agradable, con temperaturas que raramente descienden de los 25 C. La mejor época para visitar Roatán es entre marzo y mayo, no sólo porque el buen clima te acompañará en tu estancia, sino también porque es temporada de migraciones de las ballenas tiburón. Si quieres evitar la temporada de lluvias (aunque ésta no es tan molesta como podrías suponer) evita viajar entre los meses de julio a noviembre. Coincide también con la temporada de huracanes, aunque raramente llegan a tocar Honduras de pleno. Cuando yo hablo de Roatán muchas cosas que hacer se me
viene a la cabeza pero a continuación quisiera compartir con ustedes algunas de tantas cosas maravillosas que podrán hacer en Roatán. Si te gusta la naturaleza, el mar y, sobre todo, el buceo, la isla de Roatán será el destino que tienes que elegir en tus próximas vacaciones. Esta isla caribeña se ha popularizado gracias a ser de esos destinos exóticos y salvajes que actores reconocidos de todo el mundo eligen para visitar o, incluso, tener una casa. De todas formas, aún mantiene ese estado virgen tan atractivo para quienes buscan un poco de tranquilidad.
Las playas de arena fina y blanca hace las delicias de los visitantes. Desde la orilla apreciaremos que el mar tiene una tonalidad turquesa, colores entre verdes y azulados que son difíciles de explicar. Pero una vez sumergido aparecen otros colores intensos, los de los arrecifes de coral que se dejan mostrar con una nitidez inusual a los aventureros ávidos de ganas de explorar las profundidades. Los arrecifes que vemos en las Islas de la Bahía forman parte del segundo gran arrecife del mundo, el Mesoamericano, que se extiende por 1000 kms desde la península de Yucatán en México hasta aquí. La protección llevada a cabo por diferentes organismos es fundamental, por lo que te pedimos que colabores haciendo turismo responsable en Roatán. Muchas son las actividades que se pueden realizar en Roatán y el resto de islas del archipiélago de la Bahía. Una de ellas es el avistaje de uno de los visitantes ilustres del mar que rodea a Roatán, las ballenas tiburón. La mejor época para verlas es entre marzo y mayo, cuando se produce la migración. Es posible hacer Hotspots.LGBT | 89
genre latino / Conexiones una excursión en barco como bucear entre ellas si te animas. Otras actividades que se pueden hacer en Roatán son: navegar en kayak, practicar windsurf, hacer un trekking en alguno de los senderos que recorren la isla, hacerte un buen masaje y disfrutar tranquilamente del atardecer, sobre todo del lado oeste de la isla. El Jardín Botánico de Carambola es otro de los atractivos imperdibles para descubrir la flora autóctona de la isla, como las orquídeas, plantas medicinales, frutas exóticas y mucho más. El parque es bastante grande pudiendo hacer incluso un poco de senderismo por algunos de los caminos que tienen.
The history of Roatan, is a story that is composed of a series of naval battles, conquests, migrations, retreats, all while the
constant wars between the English Empire and the British Empire happened. The island Roatan belong to the whole of the Bay Islands that they form an archipelago together with two other islands that are U� tila and Guanaja and other diverse keys and islets, that initially were inhabited by the Mayans and later by the Payas, for the 16th century to these islands arrive the Spanish colonizers, who arrived at the island with African slaves forming part of his crew. Later for the 17th century the English arrived on the island with Garıf́una or Black Caribs that came from the island of San Vicente, in the year 1770, it should be noted that the white-skinned islanders arrive from the Grand Cayman and other countries belonging to Europe as example Ireland, Italy, Denmark, among others, then the island
suffers a total invasion by the English. At that time the government of the country near the island Roatá n, Honduras, claims the islands, so these together with the government of the United Kingdom, agree to sign a treaty where the English return the islands of the Bay to Honduras, by the fact that they were found and found in their territorial waters. The island of Roatan is located about 56 kilometers from the Atlantic Coast of Honduras, right on the Caribbean Sea. Roatá n is part and is also the main island of what is known as the insular department of Islas de la Bahıá. Roatá n is the largest of the three islands belonging to Honduras that make up the Bay Islands. Roatá n Island limits in its points North, South and West with the Atlantic Ocean and to the East with the Municipality of José Santos Guardiola of Honduras. This island is geographically formed by a series of hills that have an abundant vegetation. The main characteristic of the island is that it is surrounded by beautiful coconut trees, besides having white sands and a crystal clear water that allows the admiration of different spices under it. The Bay Islands, which the name given to the island group to which Roatan belongs, has a very pleasant tropical climate, with great maritime influence, in addition to an average temperature of 27 C, however, in winter time this temperature can decrease until 12 C, at the time of arrival of the cold fronts. Its
relative humidity is 25%, although around the island if you can find enough moisture, due to the evaporation of the ocean. In terms of rainfall, these have a moderate intensity, however, from time to time the island has heavy rains, the average rainfall is between 5 and 10 rains per month, the hurricanes are not continuous, this is usually pass every 10 years, but these are of a very low intensity, because these do not cause great damage. Many will be wondering what is the best time of year to visit Roatan. Being in the Caribbean, the climate is predominantly tropical and quite pleasant, with temperatures that rarely descend from 25 C. The best time to visit Roatan is between March and May, not only because the good weather will accompany you in your stay, but also because it is the migration season of the shark whales. If you want to avoid the rainy season (although this is not as annoying as you might suppose) avoid traveling between the months of July to November. It also coincides with the hurricane season, although they rarely touch Honduras fully. When I talk about Roatan many things to do comes to mind but acontinuacion might share with you some of the wonderful things that you can do in Roatan. If you like nature, the sea and, above all, diving, the island of Roatan will be the destination you have to choose in your next vacation. This Caribbean island has
become popular thanks to being one of those exotic and wild destinations that renowned actors from around the world choose to visit or even have a house. In any case, it still maintains that virgin state so attractive for those seeking a bit of tranquility. The beaches of fine white sand make the delights of visitors. From the shore we will appreciate that the sea has a turquoise hue, colors between green and blue that are difficult to explain. But once submerged appear other intense colors, those of the coral reefs that are left to show with an unusual sharpness to the adventurers eager to explore the depths. The reefs we see in the Bay Islands are part of the second largest reef in the world, the Mesoamerican, which extends for 1000 km from the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico to here. The protection carried out by different organizations is fundamental, so we ask you to collaborate in responsible tourism in Roatan.
There are many activities that can be done in Roatan and the rest of the islands of the Bay of Islands. One of them is the sighting of one of the illustrious visitors of the sea that surrounds RoataĚ n, the shark whales. The best time to see them is between March and May, when migration occurs. It is possible to take a boat trip as you dive among them if you dare. Other activities that can be done in Roatan are: kayaking, windsurfing, trekking on any of the trails that run the island, make a good massage and enjoy the sunset, especially on the west side of the island. The Carambola Botanical Garden is another of the must-see attractions to discover the native flora of the island, such as orchids, medicinal plants, exotic fruits and much more. The park is quite large and can even do a bit of hiking on some of the roads they have.
