Maspalomas, in particular, has long promoted equality and visibility for a global community who repeatedly choose this island as one of their favourite places to visit. What is key, is that we all, here, take some responsibility for defending accurate truth, and Gran Canaria’s position as one of the oldest and most mature destinations in the world.
#CON CALMA Y PACIENCIA HOW TO#
Anyone with symptoms needs to know where to find support, and how to help break the chain of transmission, and the LGBTQIA+ community are, ironically, much better educated in such things then perhaps other heteronormative communities might be. Remaining silent in the face of this health scare would also be simply irresponsible.
Misinformation or misrepresentation of the facts will help no-one. In the meanwhile other community leaders and social media groups are being left to try to manage what little information is available.Įditor’s thoughts: It is of course only right and proper that the health authorities investigate the chain of transmission, so that an accurate picture can be built of what we are actually dealing with. In fact there has been very little from them at all this year, it is hoped there will be some guidance as the facts become clearer. The commercial organisation behind this years events, who took the event away from Maspalomas Pride Gran Canaria’s original community founders back in 2016, have so far made no public statements whatsoever regarding the current situation.
Several other publications around the world have also picked up on the story, some of them unhelpfully using inaccurate terms like “ super-spreader” to overly sensationalise what is currently unknown or being looked into. El País states that several of the cases detected in Madrid were also at Pride here on the island, as is the case with cases found in Italy too. The Pride event, which has been organised on the island for more than 20 years and focused on the famous Yumbo Centre in Playa del Inglés, was reportedly attended by up to 80,000 people of different nationalities, although the current event organisers did announce numbers attending of more than double that a more measured estimate from tourism federation bosses, FEHT, have placed the number of people participating at more likely around 25,000 to 30,000 people or less. Spanish national, El País, this Saturday published an article pointing to the Canary Islands Public Health services investigation into whether the recent Pride, held between May 5 and 15 on the south of Gran Canaria, may have been a focus of this outbreak – though, right now, the primary outbreak in Spain centres around a sauna in the Madrid neighbourhood of Malasaña, which was closed on Friday by the health authorities.
