MOVILH
The Homosexual Movement of Integration and Liberation (Spanish: Movimiento de Integración y Liberación Homosexual, or Movilh) is the leading Chilean human rights advocacy organization in Chile which focuses on civil rights and liberties for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender citizens. It was founded on June 28, 1991, by Rolando Jiménez, Marcos Ruiz, Juan Hernandez, Jorge Pantonja, Iris Colil, Juan Cabrera and Jorge Guzman, adding later Victor Hugo Robles, Carlos Sanchez Soto, Alberto Roa Rodrigo Castro, among others.
It led the campaign to the eventually-successful repeal of sodomy from the list of punishable acts under Article 365 of the Criminal Code in 1999. It also persuaded the judiciary to reopen the case regarding the 1993 Divine nightclub fire in Valparaíso, which killed 16 patrons; the case was finally closed in 2010 with the owner of the club, Nelson Arellano, being solely blamed for the fire and deaths on the basis of homophobia, but Arellano was not prosecuted. The organization's work to draw attention to this and similar cases has put pressure on the Chilean Government to act on passing an anti-discrimination law.

Mayfly
by: Belle & SebastianLovesick on a sunny afternoon
You are tired of stopping in
You are waiting for the time
Mayfly, woken up when skys are clear
I don't mind you coming near
Keep me company till she comes again
You are the one who's privy to
I am the one who's making do
Because you saw him in the park
Because you saw him at the bridges with the people in the park
Cana was the start of something big
You were there in the beginning
You were there to see him play
Mayfly, woken up when sky's are blue
I don't mind the sight of you
Keep me company till she comes around
You are the one who's privy to
I am the one who's making do
Because you saw him at the celebrations standing at the side
He had the moves to save the day
But you would love him anyway
Lovesick, it came back upon yourself
You are the girl left on the shelf
You are incapable of playing the fool
Longing:so what's different today?
You sent the boys and girls away
You are concerned with matters lofty
But puzzled so it makes you sick
Your diary's looking like a bible with it's verses lost in time
And lost in meaning for the people who surround you
It's a crying shame
