Broken Toys<\/a> (in English)

From her childhood days during the Franco regime, playing in the dovecote of her family home, Marion dreams of a life without shame \u2013 despite being assigned the word \u201cmale\u201d at birth.
In the underground sanctuaries of a hiding but thriving queer community, Marion begins to move out of the cages that have kept her true self confined.
With the love of a bruised but bright Drag star, Dor\u00edn Delacroix, Marion takes us into a place of light, memory, pain, communion, and celebration.
At a time when Drag Artists face bans, Trans rights are under attack and hate crimes against LGBTQIA+ people are on the rise, this story documents the struggles of the past, memorialises queer love and celebrates the resilience of collective joy and profound self-expression.

And send a love letter to all in the LGBTQIA+ community who have been and are still persecuted for choosing to fly\u2026<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
