I-TORONTO – Ukuthola indawo yokuvakasha elungele izitabane akusho ukuthi kufanele ugxile ezindaweni ezaziwayo zezitabane noma izindawo ezithandwa kakhulu kwezokuvakasha ezisezindaweni zasemadolobheni.
UCharlie David, umsakazi waseCanada wochungechunge lwe-TV lwaseMelika oluthi “Bump,” uthole izindawo zokubalekela izitabane ezitholakala ezindaweni ezikude zomhlaba njengoba izinkampani zezokuvakasha nohulumeni benakekela isiko.
“Engikutholayo kakhulu futhi esikutholayo kulolu chungechunge ukuphila kwezitabane emhlabeni wonke kuya ngokuya kuncipha, nokuyinto enhle kakhulu,” uDavid, odabuka eYorkton, Sask., kusho engxoxweni yocingo.
“Angiqondile i-ghetto ngohlobo lwegama elilulazayo, nje, niyazi, iqembu labantu elihlala ndawonye. Zathuthukiswa zaba uhlobo lwezindawo eziphephile zabantu ngezindlela eziningi, futhi manje azisadingeki kangako.”
I-“Bump,” eqala isizini yayo yesithathu ku-Outtv e-Canada kuleli sonto, iyisa ababukeli ezindaweni nasemicimbini ethakasela i-LGBT - izitabane, izitabane, abathandana nobulili obubili, nabashintsha ubulili/abashintsha ubulili - umhambi.
U-David ube nombukiso kusukela kuSizini 2 futhi uye waya emadolobheni amaningi, amanye awo okuyizindawo zokuvakasha ezifihliwe zezivakashi ze-LGBT. Izibonelo zifaka isigodi esincane sokudoba e-Brazil esibizwa ngokuthi i-Paraty, indawo yokushushuluza eqhweni e-Telluride, e-Colo., naseCalgary – enye yezintandokazi zikaDavid.
“Hawu nkosiyami, bengiyithanda iCalgary … Kulungile, ngiyabathanda abafana bezinkomo,” uDavid, ophumela obala ongqingili, wahleka kulayini ovela e-Los Angeles.
“Kodwa iCalgary kimi, ngicabanga ukuthi, ngingowaseSaskatchewan ekuqaleni, ifana kakhulu. Kuzwakala kusekhaya. Kodwa banobungane kakhulu lapho. Idolobha elinobungani futhi sabonisa i-gay rodeo ngenkathi silapho futhi nokubona umdlalo walabo bafana nama-gals laphaya egibela izinkunzi futhi enza yonke imiqhudelwano yabo ye-rodeo, kwakuhlanya. "
Lokho akusho ukuthi uchungechunge alugqamisi izindawo ezithandwa kakhulu ezitabane kanye nemicimbi efana ne-splashy pride parades. Ukuthi nje ngenkathi elapho, uDavid nethimba lakhe lamakhamera baphinde bafune izindawo ezihambisana nesiko le-LGBT kodwa ezingathuthukiswanga kakhulu.
“Ngicabanga ukuthi isibonelo esihle kakhulu ngesokuthi ngesikhathi senza iParis, angizange ngiyokwenza ucezu e-Eiffel Tower,” kusho uDavid, obambe naye ongumbhali wemidlalo yeshashalazi u-Shannon McDonough.
“Ngakho izingcezu engazenza lapho ngangivakashele i-Musee d'Orsay ngokombono wobungqingili ngokuthi yiziphi izingcweti okungenzeka zaziyizitabane noma zinalelo thonya noma ngobuciko . . . Noma ukuvakashela eLe Marais, ecishe ifane noChurch Street eToronto, lolo hlobo lwento.”
Njengoba izinkampani zezokuvakasha zakha uhambo lwemikhumbi lwezitabane nezitabane, izindawo zokungcebeleka namahhotela, “kunzima kakhulu, ngandlela thize, ukuthola ezinye zalezo zindawo ezigxile kakhulu kwezitabane noma uhlobo lwezindawo ezingongqingili kuphela,” kusho uDavid.
"IBuenos Aires yayiyisibonelo esimangalisayo salokho, kanye nakuyo yonke iScandinavia," esho.
“Lapho, akufani nokuthi uzoba noChurch Street (eToronto) noma iDavie Village eVancouver noma lolo hlobo lwento. Kukhona izikhungo okuphakathi kwezitabane noma ezihambisana nabantu abathandana nobulili obufanayo, noma eziphethwe yizitabane noma ezingaphansi kwabesifazane abathandana nabanye besifazane, kulo lonke idolobha futhi akuzona kangako, njengokuthi, 'O, lena ukuphela kwendawo ephephile kithi,' cabanga ukuthi kuyisitatimende esikhulu ngoba bekungeke kube yisimo leso eminyakeni engu-20 edlule.”
Uxhaso lukahulumeni nalo luyasiza, esho.
“Kunezindawo eGreenland ezikhuthaza kakhulu, niyazi, 'Hey, abavakashi abayizitabane nezitabane, wozani lapha. Siyidolobha elivulekile, siyindawo evulekile, ungeza u-dog sledding, ungaba nolwazi oluhluke ngokuphelele,' futhi lokho kuyamangalisa," kusho uDavid.
