Controversies

En el momento en el que yo me pongo una corona, supone un acto político. En el momento en el que me pongo una mochila de princesas, estoy luchando contra un sistema que me oprime. Y cuando yo me visto de rosa y salgo a la calle y llamo la atención, estoy luchando contra una sociedad que me rechaza y me niega el derecho a disfrutar de mi propia vida. Porque yo realmente corro peligro por ser como soy.

Iván González, en su discurso de graduación

The moment I put on a crown, is a political act. The moment I put on a princess backpack, I'm fighting against a system that oppresses me. And when I wear pink and go out on the street and get attention, I am fighting against a society that rejects me and denies me the right to enjoy my own life. Because I'm really in danger because I'm the way I am.
