Over the past few years Cas Di Cultura has been the epicenter of Pride month activities on the island. Last night it hosted members of the community for a Warmup, titled Queer ‘N’ Cozy, where an interactive session was hosted by Fundacion Orguyo, HIAS and Famia Planea.
Also, on the program Poetry and Spokenword by Basha Foundation, a Queer Art Expo, and as a festive conclusion to the night, Musical Drag Bingo hosted by the fabulous, entertaining Allan Kock.
I always found Aruba a very inclusive island, and it shows.
RBC Bank has been flying the Rainbow flag this week and Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort has three flags side by side, the Dutch kingdom, Aruba and the Rainbow flag. My friends at the resort tell me almost 50% of the people working there are members of the LGBTQ+ community, contributing to the resort’s international fame and stellar reputation.
I checked Wikipedia: The rainbow flag reflects the diversity of the LGBTQ+ community and the spectrum of human sexuality and gender. Introduced in 1979, with just six stripes: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple — red on top like the natural rainbow.
