Pédale. Gay Dictionary (France).
Pedal again and again!!!
The French word Pédale symbolizes one of the great associations to combat, which is what relates homosexual men to pedophiles. Although most statistics show that the vast majority of pedophiles are heterosexual men who attack girls in their proximity, there are certain groups that prefer to make all people believe that the more pedophiles are homosexual men. For this reason, France is part of the pedophile countries, which are those in which this false and intentional association between male homosexual behavior and child molesters takes shape in the most common insults.
In the French language, from the word pédophile derives pédé, which is also a slang word for homosexual man, and from this slang derives the word pédale, which is also the name given to the part of the bicycle where the feet are placed to produce the movement of the bike. That is why we have chosen a pedal for this Drawing & Story, an illustration with two versions in order to can be printed in both with a light background and with a dark background. The illustration Pedale, cool, isn’t it?

When you purchase a Moscas de Colores design you not only help us to support this website and this project, but you also become part of the group of people that spread the words, their history and the reality that has gone with us and that still goes with us, because each of our designs is a story that you will tell and explain, an opportunity to help things get better by normalizing, visibilizing and, why not, reappropriating.
