U-Becky Albertalli ebeligama elibhiyozelwayo kwi-YA (Intsomi yabantu abadala) iminyaka. Ukususela kumzuzu wenoveli yakhe yokuqala USimon ngokuchasene neHomo Sapiens Ajenda Yapapashwa ngo-2015, yayiyimvakalelo ekhawulezileyo, isebenzisa ixesha elitsha lokumelwa kwe-LGBTQ + eyavumela abafundi abaninzi ukuba bazibone bephakathi kwamabali amahle, amile kakuhle okwesihlandlo sokuqala.
Ukukhutshwa kwebhloko ye-blockbuster yohlengahlengiso kumdlalo bhanyabhanya, Uthando, Simon , ngo-2018 yaqinisa kuphela loo mzuzu, ekubeni yayiyeyokuqala ifilimu yeshumi elivisayo ukuba iveliswe yi studio enkulu yefilimu. Ukulandela oko ziincwadi ezilandelayo zikaAlbertalli ULeya kwi-Offbeat kwaye Kuthekani Ukuba Nguwe (edityaniswe no-Adam Silvera).
La mabali azalise isithuba esasihleli ngaphakathi koncwadi lwe-Y ixesha elide, kwaye ngokungathandabuzekiyo yavula indlela yababhali abatsha, amabali amatsha, kunye neembono ezintsha ekufuneka zixelelwe kwaye zibhiyozelwe kuluntu nakwishishini ngokufanayo. Kungenxa yokuba abafundi be-LGBTQ + babeziva ngathi bavaliwe ngaphandle kwe-YA yesiqhelo, kunye nokuthandwa kwe Simon , ekugqibeleni kwafika ithuba lokuba amazwi abo aviwe kwaye abhiyozelwe.
Kodwa ngale mpu melelo yaqwalaselwa, yabekwa ikakhulu kumandla ka-Albertalli (kwaye ukusukela ngoku, imvume Ukubhala la mabali. Uyabona, ngokwexabiso lobuso, u-Becky Albertalli waboniswa njengebhinqa elimhlophe elingu-cishet. Ekuthi, kummandla we-LGBTQ + ukumelwa, kubonise ukubakho kwengxaki kunye nokuziphatha okuyingozi. Kungenxa yokuba u-Albertalli wayengabhali nje kuphela amabali e-queer-wayesebenza ukwenza inzuzo off kuzo, kwaye ikho njengobuso obukhulu boncwadi lwe-LGBTQ + YA.
Ngaba kubalulekile ukuba ngubani obhala amabali akhulayo? Imithombo yeendaba kunye nabaphulaphuli ngokufanayo babuza. Ngaba ababhali be-cishet banokunika ubunyani, ubhalwe ngokwengqondo nge-LGBTQ + rep? Ngaba kufanele ukuba sibavumele?
Ungaphazami; yonke le yimibuzo esebenzayo kwaye ibaluleke kakhulu, kodwa kubalulekile ukuba ukhumbule ukuba ngubani obhalayo okanye odalayo Intoni , kubaluleke ngakumbi ukuqonda ngoba , phi injongo ivela, kwaye Intoni Isizathu esinzulu sinokuyiqhubela phambili.

Ekupheleni kuka-Agasti, U-Becky Albertalli wapapasha isincoko esivela njengo-bi , isuka entliziyweni, isesichengeni, kwaye ibonakalisa into ethile yena ngokwakhe angazange ayiqonde ngokupheleleyo-okanye ayamkele ngokwenene-de wayeneminyaka engama-37.
Zininzi izizathu ezinokunikwa zokuba kutheni kunjalo, kwaye zizonke nanye yeshishini lethu. Isazisi seQueer yinto entsonkothileyo kunye nezinto ezingahambelaniyo, ezinamacala amaninzi kwaye ezimile ngokulinganayo ngengqondo yobuqu njengoko injalo lilungelo, ubuhlanga, kunye nesini: oko kukudibana 101.
Kwaye kuninzi, ezi ndlela zinqamlezileyo zinokuba nefuthe nokuba lilungile ikhuselekile ukuphuma okanye ukubakhona esidlangalaleni njengomntu ogqwesileyo. Nokuba ukubandakanya ukuphelela kwesazisi somntu kuya kuba yingozi kunenkululeko. Nokuba kukwisikimu esikhulu sezinto, kuya kufaneleka ukubeka umngcipheko.
Ukufunda isincoko sika-Becky Albertalli, umntu akanakunceda kodwa azive exubene nomsindo kunye netyala kuxinzelelo olunokwenzeka ukuba lwamtsalela kweli nqanaba. Njengoko wabhala kwisiqwenga sakhe, Ndiye ndaphicothwa, ndathotyelwa, ndagculelwa, ndafundiswa, kwaye ndagunyaziswa phantse ngalo lonke usuku olunye iminyaka, kwaye ndidiniwe. Kwaye ukuba ucinga ukuba ndim kuphela umbhali ovaliweyo okanye ovaliweyo ovaliweyo oziva olu xinzelelo, khange unikele ngqalelo.
Ewe igama lika-Albertalli liye lafana ngokufanayo nentetho ye-Twitter njengoko kunjalo ngamabali e-queer. Kuluntu lwe-YA ngokuthe ngqo, uninzi luziva ngathi banegunya lokugcina abanye abantu-kwaye, ke, indlela ezo zazisi zibonakaliswa ngayo kumabali abhaliweyo.
Ngamanye amaxesha, iincoko ezinemveliso zikhokelele kumanyathelo abalulekileyo: #OwnVoices, umzekelo, ibisisithuthi esibalulekileyo sokuphakamisa amabali ahlukeneyo abhalwe kumava / umbono wababhali. Kodwa ngezinye iindlela ezininzi, inkxalabo esemthethweni malunga nokuba ngubani umbhali obhala ingxelo ethile iye yangena kugxilwe kugxilwe ekukhokeleleni kumonakalo ongaphezulu kokulungileyo.
Kubabhali bombala, ngamanye amaxesha kukhokelela ekubeni bazive bebhokisi ngaphakathi kwaye bebotshelelwe kuyo kuphela bhala amabali ngokwembono ye-PoC-ethi, ngezizathu ezicacileyo, ingahambelani nenkululeko yokwenene yokuthetha okanye ukulingana kwindawo yeentsomi. Kubabhali be-queer, kukhokelwa kwinqanaba lokujonga ukuba, ukuba ishiywe ingakhange iqatshelwe, ihlala ikhokelela ekuhlukumezeni ngokupheleleyo. Kwaye kwabo babelana ngazo zombini ezi zazisi… esele ikho ihlala ivakalelwa ngathi kukuhambahamba kumhlaba wezigcayiseli.

U-Albertalli wajongana nengcinezelo yokuhlukumezeka kwingingqi ye-YA malunga nokusebenza kwakhe kunye nokukwazi ukuthatha indawo kumabali agxile kummeli. Wayesoloko egxile kwiingxoxo ezishushu ezazipeyinta ngokungafanelekanga njengomntu wangaphandle onqwenela ukukhetha amava awayengengowakhe ukuba awathathe. Kodwa umba wale ntetho kukuba awuthatheli ingqalelo indima edlalwa bubugcisa ekuphononongeni kwaye ke ngoko ukufumanisa ezona zichazi zibuzwayo.
I-YA yenze imitsi emikhulu ekwandiseni iyantlukwano kubabhali bayo nakumabali ayo, kodwa ngale nkqubela phambili kuza ingxaki enkulu yesazisi samapolisa ngaphandle kokuvumela indawo yovelwano kunye nokuqonda. Ngokubhekiselele kumabali e-queer, akunjalo ukuba abantu be-cishet abanalo ityala lokusebenzisana kwamabali ngenxa yezizathu zobugovu kunye neengxaki, kwaye iinjongo ezintle kunye nokuhlaziywa kwengqondo kusebenza ngokupheleleyo kwaye, ngokombono wam, kukhuthazwa.
Kodwa kukho umgca apho ukugxeka kungasebenzi okanye, okubi ngakumbi, kuhlaselwa.
Kwaye njengoko u-Albertalli watshoyo kwisincoko sakhe, unethamsanqa lokubamba amalungelo athile amvumela ukuba aphume kwaye abekhona ngokukhuselekileyo njengowasetyhini, kodwa oko akuthethi ukuba ukuphononongwa kwakhe kwesi sazisi kwakungekho nzima kangako ngenxa yentetho ejikeleze yena.
Kwaye nakwabanye abantu abangafumanekiyo amalungelo afanayo, abakhoyo kwindawo enetyhefu banokuthi bangaziphathi kakuhle kwiziphumo eziyingozi nezinobungozi, njengokukhutshelwa ngaphandle okanye ukuqhutyelwa kwinqanaba lokuzenzakalisa, kunye nokuba nesithuba esenzelwe ukuba ukhuseleke kwaye ubandakanyeke ungcoliswe kwinto eyityhefu.
Ubugcisa buhle kubuchule bayo bokuhambisa abantu, kunye nokukwazi kwayo ukuvumela abantu ukuba bafumane into entsha malunga nabo. Abadali abaninzi ngokungazi baphonononge izazisi ezikhulayo ngobugcisa babo, nokuba kungokupeyinta, umculo, amabali…
Okanye incwadi malunga nolutsha oluvalelweyo olwenziwe ukuba luphume luphume.
Njengoko bekutshiwo ngaphambili, kuzo zonke iimeko kuza ithuba lokuqonda. Ngelixa ngokungathandabuzekiyo kufuneka sibaphendulise abo banokuthi baxhamle kwizazisi ezazisingelwe phantsi ngokungathandabuzekiyo, kufanelekile ukuba sibambe ubabalo kunye nokuzithoba ukuqonda ukuba sinokuthi, phofu, singalazi lonke ibali.
Mhlawumbi ibali elihle lokuza kwexesha elizayo lixesha lomntu wokuqala ukubeka amazwi iimvakalelo abazive bezivuselela ngaphakathi kubo iminyaka, okanye mhlawumbi yinto ebangela ukuba kuqondwe ukuba kukho into enzulu kubuni ababenayo ukusukela ekuzalweni. Ngubani owaziyo? Amandla okuzifumanisa alele kumandla ayo okuguqula ngokunzulu nokumangalisa.
Kodwa ayisiyethu eyamapolisa.
Kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo ayingowethu ibango ade umntu aphile kwaye ukulungele ukwabelana ngayo.
