Mando civil femenino, desplaza a mando militar en Seguridad Pública
Tumblr media
Maremágnum » RICARDO | CASTILLO BARRIENTOS ) Acapulco Press El problema de la seguridad pública en Guerrero ha sido una constante que ha venido padeciendo la población, no de manera generalizada, sí con efectos colaterales multiplicadores que perturban y afectan a miles de familias guerrerenses. La responsabilidad corresponde al Gobierno del Estado desde hace décadas, con resultados lamentables, nada halagüeños; con mandos militares o navales que han fracasado en toda la línea, al frente de la Secretaría de Seguridad Pública estatal. En el gobierno del ingeniero Rubén Figueroa Figueroa (1975-2001), designó como Jefe de todas las policías habidas y por haber, al entonces coronel Mario Arturo Acosta Chaparro, con resultados siniestros debido a la desaparición de centenares de personas, entre ellos, simpatizantes de la guerrilla, delincuentes comunes o enemistades, etapa conocida como la guerra sucia. A partir de Acosta Chaparro hasta la actualidad, -con alguna excepción- los titulares de la corporación policíaca han provenido de las fuerzas castrense (Sedena-Marina), sin obtener los óptimos resultados esperados frente a los embates de las delincuencias organizada y común. Al contrario, los grupos criminales han venido fortaleciéndose al paso del tiempo, a partir del gobierno de Zeferino Torreblanca Galindo. La designación que hizo la gobernadora Evelyn Salgado Pineda, de la encargada de despacho de la Secretaría de Seguridad Pública y Protección Ciudadana, la abogada y maestra Jesús Castro Gutiérrez, con una amplia trayectoria en la dependencia tendrá que dignificar y eficientar a esa dependencia con pésima reputación (remember policía motorizada y Aguas Blancas), por las acciones punitivas de algunos de sus elementos, como sucedió recientemente con el brutal asesinato del estudiante de Ayotzinapa, Yanki Kothan Gómez Peralta. La maestra Castro Gutiérrez cuenta con una completa formación en materia de Derechos Humanos, -que carecen muchos policías estatales- relevante actividad para desterrar todo vestigio de violación a las garantías individuales de la ciudadanía, consagradas en la Constitución General de la República. La nueva Titular Encargada con 25 años en la dependencia, ha desempeñado importantes cargos directivos y obtuvo un reconocimiento de la Oficina de las Naciones Unidas Contra la Droga y el Delito (UNODC), de la Embajada de los Estados Unidos de América. Después del mando ininterrumpido de altos oficiales militares y navales, llega por primera vez una mujer como mando civil de amplia experiencia; esperando no esté contaminada por su larga estancia en esa institución policial, e imponga cambios en las estrategias de prevención del delito, tarea intrínseca de sus facultades y responsabilidades. Este cambio emergente viene a significar un acierto, obligado a transformar la imagen de la dependencia y del gobierno estatal, deteriorada por el último acontecimiento que trascendió en gran magnitud en el plano nacional, a causa de las reacciones violentas de los jóvenes normalistas. Marea Baja.- Los sindicatos títeres del STAUAG y STTAISUAG dejaron en la total indefensión a maestros y trabajadores que fueron expulsados o amonestados de la UAGro, por decisión unilateral del tri-rector, Javier Saldaña Almazán y su comparsa el otrora “Honorable” Consejo Universitario. Los maestros Erik Benjamín Peregrino Ibarra, de la Preparatoria 13 de Zihuatanejo, Tulio Ismael Estrada Apatiga, de la Escuela de Veterinaria y Zootecnia de Técpan de Galeana, Alejandro Arellano Ramos, Víctor Cortez Rafael y Leoncio Villanueva Rojas, de la Preparatoria 8 de Ciudad Altamirano, Alejandro Sotelo Aguilar, de Ciencias Agropecuarias y Ambientales y Sergio Puente Cisneros, de la Escuela de Artes de Zumpango del Río, no fueron notificados ni se les concedió el derecho de audiencia, en franca violación al Reglamento y a la Ley Orgánica del Alma Mater. Además, el propio Saldaña Almazán amenazó de continuar la purga de sus adversarios políticos, hasta obtener el control total y absoluto de la UAGro, a fin de relegirse indefinidamente o dejar en su lugar, alguno de sus incondicionales que obedezca fielmente sus instrucciones; mientras va en busca de aventuras políticas electorales, entre ellas, la gubernatura del estado, así se tenga que enfrentar con el senador Félix Salgado o la gobernadora Evelyn Salgado Pineda, a quienes ahora quema incienso y un cumulo de felicitaciones en desplegados periodísticos y en redes sociales. Marea Alta.- El delegado de los Programas Federales del Bienestar, Iván Hernández Díaz, se quedó como el perro de las tres tortas, pues no se le hizo ni la senaduría, ni la diputación federal, ni la local, cuando había manifestado su interés en participar por alguna candidatura de elección popular. No lo tomaron en cuenta en Morena, por su pésimo desempeño en la dependencia a su cargo, en la cual existieron innumerables conflictos y deficientes manejos en los programas oficiales, que trascendieron a instancias superiores. Su antecesor Pablo Amilcar Sandoval Ballesteros, pésimo ex delegado y fallido candidato a la gubernatura, salió premiado con una diputación plurinominal en la quinta posición, desplazando a Iván Hernández, quien no las trae todas consigo. Maremoto.- Después de escuchar a la ciudadanía de barrios, colonias y comunidades del municipio de Acapulco, el todavía morenista Yoshio Ávila González, quien resultó vencedor de las encuestas para la alcaldía de Acapulco y despojado de la candidatura por el Comité Nacional de MORENA, está dispuesto en acatar la vox populi, porque considera que la voz del pueblo, es la voz de Dios. Esa voz popular está demandando al joven político se registre para contender como candidato a la Presidencia Municipal de Acapulco, por el Partido Movimiento Ciudadano (MC), cuya candidatura recibiría un fuerte apoyo popular, debido al malestar e inconformidad generada tanto al interior de Morena como en la población, ocasionado por la eventual relección de la fallida alcaldesa Abelina López Rodríguez. ) acapulcopress.com Read the full article

Un paseo solitario en medio de tristes pensamientos, un estado de depresión y amargura, un mucho de incertidumbre. Mentalmente había reñido con todo mundo, consigo mismo. Nadie le hizo caso.

Tal vez si hubiéramos nacido sin Dios ni el diablo seríamos mejores, pero con esas chingaderas nos dieron en toda la madre: eres bueno, eres malo. Yo sé que eso no es cierto. Pero tal vez por eso estoy en la cárcel.

Tumblr media
Rhian sat in the clubhouse, waiting for Templo to adjourn. She wasn’t exactly ecstatic to say her piece, but Bishop wasn’t going to keep this from her tio and she understood that. Though, she couldn’t help but wish he kept this from him.
“You okay?” She heard EZ question her.
Rhian nodded her head. “I’m good, what are you doing here?” She didn’t even notice that EZ was there, but she had plenty on her mind. 
“Kind of live here.” EZ pointed out. 
“At the trailer?” Rhian chuckled. “Wow, Stanford to a trailer, you might as well have gone to a local college.” She bit her lip then, scolding herself for being so insensitive. “Ezekiel, I’m sorry.” She was sad for Ezekiel, the golden boy made it out of town only to be sent to prison. What happened with their mother, it was awful, she couldn’t imagine how devastating it was for both him and Angel, especially Mr. Reyes. 
“It’s okay, shit happens.” EZ offered her a smile. “So what did you get yourself into?”
“I work for the cartel.” 
“You do what now?” EZ’s eyes widened at her admission. The cartel? As in Miguel Galindo? He couldn’t believe it. Emily was married to Miguel and now his former best friend worked for the cartel.
The templo door opened and her Tio Taza came out, sitting beside her at the table she was currently seated at. 
He didn’t appear angry, he just appeared disappointed. But he was always calm, till he started talking.
“How long?” He questioned, straight to the point.
“It’s been four years,” she felt that honesty was the best policy at this point. She always wanted to tell him, but she didn’t want to cause conflict with the cartel and the MC. “Tio, I wanted to tell you, I just didn’t want to worry you.”
“And you think this is better?” His raspy voice slightly raised, but he took a deep breath, shaking his head. “You could have gotten hurt. How can you be so stupid?” His word stung, he never told her that before. She was the favorite, it was rare for Taza to direct any feeling of disappointment towards her. But she couldn’t blame him. She fucked up. 
“I know,” Rhian looked down at her lap where her hands were folded, her fingers fidgeting.
“Why are you in this mess? You’ve never even crossed paths with the cartel.” Taza was disappointed that she didn’t come to her. He always assured her that he could reach out to him, that she could trust him. “There is no reason for you to even be involved with the cartel.”
“It was Bryan.” Rhian sighed. She looked up, seeing all the members including EZ looking at her, waiting for her explanation. “Bryan was addicted to gambling, he moved heroin for Galindo to fund his addiction. One of his runs, he decided to sell a block of heroin, didn’t get caught so he started doing it and Galindo finally caught on. He was able to escape death and left the state.” She hated talking about this whole situation. Every time she did, she just thought about how stupid she sounded. “So Miguel gave me a choice, to pay out his debt to him or he would hurt his family.”
“Rhian,” Taza groaned.
“I know, it was stupid and none of my business, but I couldn’t let him harm his family.” Rhian really hated this story. “I don’t owe his family anything, but you know why I had to do it.”
“Why didn’t you tell me? Does Daniel know?” Taza didn’t understand her loyalty to Bryan, the same man who left her at a rest stop at fucking Barstow.
“He doesn’t. I just didn’t want to involve the MC, I know how involved you already were with the cartel. It’s not an excuse, but I didn’t need you to fight my battles for me.” Rhian explained. “I’m almost done, two more months then I’m done.”
“Galindo seems fond of you, I don’t think you will be done.” It didn’t sit well with Angel that she was on a first name basis with Galindo. The whole situation was just peculiar for him. Galindo seemed to really admire her and that was never a good thing, well, depending on the situation of course. 
“How much did he owe?” Bishop questioned, which Rhian was thankful for since she didn’t want to address Angel’s comment. 
“A hundred grand.”
“What?!” She felt that everyone said it in unison and she looked around in the room, shaking her head.
“The fuck, how did that even happen?” Coco couldn’t wrap his head around this whole situation. He met Bryan, wasn’t the best guy, but he was decent enough. Meeting him, he would have never thought that Bryan would be that type of guy, an addict.
“He stole a whole shipment, just never showed his face again. When he broke up with me, he dropped me off at a rest stop at Barstow, he told me he had to hide.” Rhian grimaced then, remembering that night. She was heartbroken, but at the same time, she was relieved. Her relationship with Bryan at that point was on the rocks, but she stayed with him since at that point, it was out of habit. He became a part of her routine and he was easy on the eyes. Shallow, she knew that, but she had her needs as well. 
“You should have told us.” Bishop looked as disappointed at Taza and that made her heart clench. She grew up with these two men making sure she would never go down a bad path and here she was, running shipment for the cartel. 
“With all due respect Tio Bishop, I just didn’t want to trouble you guys. I made my decision to get in this, I wasn’t going to include you all.” Rhian knew no reason would suffice for them, but if she at least got it out, maybe they would see that it wasn’t as stupid as they believe it to be. 
“But that’s the thing conejo, your family, this is our business.” Taza ran his fingers through his hair, looking at Bishop and the rest of his brothers. “You said two more months?”
“Yes, and that’s it.” 
“Angel and Coco will go with you.” Bishop made the decision after Angel immediately volunteered to accompany her, which surprised him. Coco was his initial pick along with Gilly, but if Angel volunteered, he wouldn’t take it away from him. He trusted Angel to keep her safe.
Rhian bit her tongue. Arguing was a moot point. She nodded her head and sighed. “Two months, that’s it and this is done.”
“Oh, it will be. There’s no way you’re going to be further involved with this.” Bishop stated.
“Believe me, I have no intentions of being involved after the debt is paid.” Rhian agreed. “I’m sorry, I didn’t tell you. I know you’re disappointed, but I did what I had to do.”
“Does Bryan know you’re doing this for him?” Taza never liked Bryan, but he was the only one who was able to bypass Sergio and Daniel, he figured that he was a decent guy. After this, Bryan had to pay for putting his niece in harm's way. 
“No, he doesn’t need to know.” She was still in contact with Bryan. After Bryan got word that Rhian was helping out a family member of his, he reached out to her. Every few days, he’d check in, make sure she was okay and disappear again. Rhian didn’t care much for their weekly conversations, but he was at least showing himself to his family in Seattle. She figured he was in Canada somewhere. Didn’t matter to her, as long as he stayed the fuck away from Santo Padre. 
“The fuck you mean he doesn’t need to know? Don’t be stupid.” Angel burst, not happy with the way she was putting herself on the line for some asshole who obviously didn’t care about her. “You’re better than this, how can you just keep this from him? This is his fucking mess.”
Rhian wasn’t sure how to reply to Angel. He felt very strongly about a situation he couldn’t even begin to understand. Furthermore, he was no one in her life to even say anything. 
“Angel,” Taza hissed.
“No, this is ridiculous. You can’t possibly stick up for someone who indirectly put you in this situation.” Angel waited for Rhian to reply, but she appeared shocked by his sudden outburst. 
“Um,” she pursued her lips, mildly shaking her head. “I don’t expect you to understand why I’m doing what I’m doing nor do I need your approval. You all should know that the cartel is unforgiving and Bryan made a mistake. There’s no need to involve him.”
“But there is, this is his debt, not yours.” Angel’s voice slightly raised, the frustration obviously getting the better of him.
“Look, I’m tired, I have to leave early tomorrow morning. If you have a problem with this whole deal, then you can stay in Santo Padre. I don’t understand why you’re so involved. You haven’t spoken to me since high school, why won’t we just keep it that way?” Rhian stood up. She didn’t need this bullshit from Angel. “Can I go Tio Taza?”
“I’ll follow you, we still need to talk.” Taza stood up with her. “I don’t care which one of you goes, if you’re going to give her grief, you don’t need to go Angel.”
They walked out leaving the other members looking at Angel who were also surprised by his outburst. 
“Am I missing something here?” Bishop questioned. He wasn’t aware that something occurred between Rhian and Angel in high school. He knew that Rhian and EZ were friends, but nothing about Angel. He also knew that Angel dated Erica, but otherwise, nothing about Rhian and Angel.
“Angel was a dumbass.” Coco didn’t want to go into details. 
“Yes, and he still is.” Bishop didn’t want to open that can of worms. “Is this gonna be a problem?” He directed his question at Angel who shook his head.
“Not at all Bish, it just doesn’t sit well with me that she’s doing this for someone who doesn’t deserve this kind of loyalty.”
“Doesn’t matter whether or not Bryan knows, the point of the matter is, she’s in this shit. We can handle Bryan later, our main concern right now is getting her out of this unscathed.” 
“Sergio knew about this,” Angel realized then, remembering that Rhian had mentioned him earlier. Why would Sergio hide this from Daniel? They were best friends, his sister was in danger, he should have told Daniel or Taza about this. “Sergio got a thing for Rhian?”
Coco chuckled, shaking his head. “Not that it’s any of your business, but he doesn’t. Why not talk to your cousin and ask him?”
“We both know Sergio would rather see me six feet under.” 
“I wouldn’t go to that extreme.” Gilly rolled his eyes at Angel’s dramaticness. “You just had to fuck his girlfriend.”
“Erica was not his fucking girlfriend.” Angel defended. “Is it my fault that I’m better looking than the fucker?” 
EZ shook his head at his brother. He was definitely shocked to hear all of the information. One of Ezekiel’s regrets in his life was not fixing things between himself and Rhian. He was young and naive. He thought she would get over it and eventually mend the fences during his birthday or something, but she never did. After everything went down, she became indifferent to him and Angel. It was like they existed, but they didn’t. She was cordial, made small talk, but if he even tried to get any deeper, she quickly exits the conversation. He couldn’t blame her, but he wished she would give him a chance to make it up to her. 
“It always goes back to his looks.” Gilly just shook his head. “Why did you two even fall out?”
“Couldn’t even tell you, he just fucking punched me on the face one day and that was that.” Angel knew why Sergio punched him on the face, but he was never angry about it. He understood why he did it.
“Pretty sure you deserved it.” Coco commented.
“I second that.” Gilly added.
“I think we’re all in agreement with that.” Riz gave his two cents as well as he sat by the bar with EZ. 
“So is this going to be a problem Angel? She has enough shit on her shoulders, she doesn’t need you pestering her the whole trip up.” Bishop hoped that if Angel did agree to keep his mouth shut, they would work it out. 
“Naw Prez, won’t be a problem at all.” 
=============
Rhian yawned as she zipped up her jacket. She just finished her final and she would be heading to Seattle soon. She turned her car off and saw the two Mayans motorcycles. If she was lucky, they would be riding their motorcycles and she has the car all to herself.
Walking in, she found Nestor with Coco and Angel.
“Preciosa,” he greeted her. Much like Miguel, he admired her loyalty and before this whole ordeal they ran in the same circles as his older brother knew hers. 
Angel frowned at the greeting. Like he said before, it didn’t sit well with him that she was so familiar with the cartel. She could even be family for all he knew, but he knew she wasn’t. Their brothers ran in the same circle from what he could remember.
“The usual, your itinerary is in the car along with the keys to the rest house in Sacramento and Seattle.” Nestor unformed her. “There are twenty keys, just drop it off at the warehouse to Lonnie and you’re good to go.” He nodded his head to Coco and Angel. “You going to be okay?”
Rhian nodded her head. “I’ve dealt with worse assholes than these two.” She laughed. “I can handle them.”
“Good, see you when you get back.” Nestor and his men left, leaving her with Coco and Angel.
“No more outburst?” Rhian looked at Angel. It didn’t sit well with her that he had to call her out. She understood why he did and why he was upset to some extent but it was none of his business. 
“Depends, no promises though.” It was the best Angel could offer and at this point, there’s nothing she could do. He was already here and if she even tried to fight having Angel here, they would make it a big deal. 
Rhian looked over at Coco who held his hands up. “You get shotgun.”
“Fuck no, I’m driving.” Angel held his hand out so she could hand her keys over.
“Don’t trust you with my car, pretty boy.” Even though the car was technically the cartels, she worked on that car, Angel didn’t need to touch the damn car. 
Angel laughed. “You’ve never even driven with me.”
“More of a reason why you’re not driving.” Rhian grabbed one of the bags, but Angel took them from her. “Look, I’ve done this before, I don’t need you to carry anything for me, or do anything for me. I only agreed to this so that I don’t argue with Miguel, Tio Taza or Tio Bishop. I appreciate it Angel, but I got it.” She walked out then, leaving Angel to his own thoughts. He forgot how hard headed Rhian could be.
“This is going to be a long ass fucking trip.” Coco groaned as he followed Angel out.
=============
They’ve been on the road for nearly 8 hours and both Coco and Angel were impressed how Rhian could drive straight with no problems. They had to force her to stop and eat. She was fine with it, but she ran a tight schedule. They had to be at the rest house by 9 so Rhian could rest and drive the last 12 hours. Angel and Coco couldn’t believe she did this run once every two weeks. It kind of irked both men, wanting to hurt Bryan even more. How could she make such a great sacrifice for this asshole?
“You’ve been doing this for four years? That’s a tolling trip Rhi,” Coco was seated at the back seat while Angel sat beside Rhian. She personally wanted Coco at shotgun, but Angel was tall as fuck and would be uncomfortable in the back.
“I don’t only go to Seattle. I go to Texas and Arizona every once in a while. You guys can’t always make the trip.” Rhian kept her eyes trained on the road, it was a force of habit. She knew a second away could be life altering. “And sometimes Sonora.”
“You go to fucking Mexico? He uses the fucking tunnels for that.” Angel was back to annoyed, but he’s been biting his tongue, trying to play nice.
“I don’t only move heroin Reyes, it’s what I move the most, but at times he has me doing other things for him. Don’t worry, it’s nothing crazy. He just asks me to drive his mother and Emily to Mexico.”
“You're like his personal chauffeur.” Angel scoffed.
“Whatever gets this debt paid quicker.”
“You honestly think he’ll absolve Bryan for all of his sins?”
“No, but I’m not doing this for him, it’s for his family. I could give two shits what he does to Bryan.”
Angel was confused. If she wasn’t doing this for Bryan, then why protect his family? From what Angel knew of Bryan, he was the youngest, with two older sisters. His mother and father were still around, but they lived in Murrieta, while one of his sisters lived in Lake Elsinore. His eldest sister, Angie, was the only one left at Santo Padre. From what he knew of her, she was a fucking snooty ass bitch. 
“You owe his family or something?” Angel questioned.
“No, but why let innocent people be harmed by the stupidity of others.”
That was admirable. Rhian reminded him of Adelita in some ways. It clicked for Angel then. With this whole thing with the cartel, he could absolve Bryan once they took the cartel down and he could kill Bryan with his own damn hands. 
“Very admirable of you to put your life on the line for people that I’m sure wouldn’t do the same for you.” It just didn’t sit right with Angel. He had to find that motherfucker. He’d put the bullet in between his eyes.
“Don’t expect someone with your ego to understand that, but there are good people in the world who are willing to do things without anything in return.” Rhian pressed her foot down on the gas pedal, wanting to reach the rest house that much quicker. She hated being on this trip with Angel. It’s not like what occurred in high school was still bugging her, it’s just Angel was annoying. He always stuck his nose at things that didn’t need his involvement. 
“My ego? You don’t even fucking know me, so don’t pretend like you do.” Angel was tired of her snide remarks toward him. Coco was mistaken if he thought that she no longer cared about what occurred in high school.
“Thank god for that.” Rhian murmured under her breath.
The rest of the ride was silent between her and Angel. They only spoke to Coco, but otherwise it was icy between her and Angel. Once they arrived to the safe house, coco asked if he could borrow her car so he could get food. She gave him the car keys and pleaded for him to bring Angel, which he did.
“Hermano, if it’s going to be like this all the time, I don’t want you going with us.” Coco told Angel.
“I didn’t do shit! She’s the one being a bitch cause I’m asking her a rational question.” Angel scoffed, lighting up the cigarette in his mouth. He smoked so much today, Rhian made him fucking anxious. 
“Look, she doesn’t owe you an explanation. Some times, you just have to take things at face value and go from there.” Coco ordered the food for the three of them, going to McDonald’s since no one could truly beat McDonald’s when it comes to being quick. 
“Honestly, I don’t know what you smoke, but you can’t possibly be okay with everything she’s doing for this motherfucker?” 
Coco quickly paid for the food and handed it over to Angel. 
“I’m not. But you don’t know the full story and before you ask, it ain’t my story to tell.” Coco knew Angel’s curiosity could get the better of him and he was going to keep poking. As much as he wanted to share her story with Angel, it just wasn’t his scene. “Why are you trying now Angel?”
Why was he trying now?
It’s been years, but Angel only decided to come near her now because for once, no one was truly there to block him. Sergio hung onto Rhian and made sure Angel could never go near her. Daniel never cared, he didn’t know enough Angel was guessing. Erica didn’t either. But maybe he shouldn’t have used Erica to try and get close to Rhian again. The more time he let pass, the harder it became to do anything. Angel wasn’t perfect, but he wanted to make things up to her.
“It became harder and harder for me to make it up to her when more time passed.” Angel threw his cigarette out of the window. “She was important to both myself and Ezekiel, we let too much time pass and you know, just never worked out.”
“And you weren’t thinking and decided to sleep with her sister as a way of making your way back in her life?” Coco chuckled, shaking his head at this best friend’s way of thinking. 
“Fuck you, I did what I had to do.” Angel wasn’t going to make up reasons why he had a relationship with Erica for six months. It wasn’t even a relationship, they just benefited one another’s sexual needs. No feelings whatsoever. Their relationship was the type people wanted if all they wanted was sexual gratification. 
But no one also had to know that he dated Rhian for a year and a half during her freshman to sophomore year and when he made it to the football team, he dropped her quicker than he dropped a fumble. 
Coco didn’t reply and parked the car up the driveway of the house. They both slid out of the car and made their way inside. When they got in, Rhian was already knocked out on the couch. Coco moved to wake up Rhian, but Angel stopped him.
“Let her sleep, she needs that more than food.” 
Coco nodded his head, letting Rhian sleep. Angel and Coco ate quickly before heading to bed as well. Coco took one of the bedrooms down the hall. Angel sat at the armchair, pulling the leg rest closer so he could have a makeshift bed. He remembered how Rhian hated waking up alone and he was certain it still remained that way. 
Once upon a time, he was her knight and shining armor, but now, she wouldn’t even give him a second glance. 
But he was going to make it up to her. She would have to get used to him because he was here to stay.

Diario de lectura

- Literatura mexicana de temática gay del siglo XIX al XX. León Guillermo Gutiérrez. 
Colección de ocho ensayos sobre el tema que el título anuncia. Revisiones no exhaustivas (a decir verdad bastante limitadas) de ejemplos literarios sobre el tema homosexual a finales del siglo XIX y un mediado del siglo XX (más brevísimas menciones de ejemplos en el siglo XXI). Después, análisis más detallados del poema “Recinto”, de Carlos Pellicer, y de las novelas “El diario de José Toledo”, de Miguel Barbachano Ponce y “El vampiro de la colonia Roma”, de Luis Zapata. Después, repaso a una selección de cuentos que se pretende detallada, mas otra enfocada en el tema de arquetipos y muy específicamente de la homofobia. 
Un tema importantísimo, pero éste libro sufre de un problema muy recurrente en estudios literarios (y estudios en general) de tema o género específico: No solo el autor tiene una selección muchísimo más limitada de lo que cree, sino que encima observa todo desde una óptica completamente pesimista y acomplejada. Más aún, estos ensayos fueron concebidos cada uno para leerse por separado en lugar de como parte de una colección, y en consecuencia resultan repetitivos hasta machacar y cansar. Mejor dicho, no es consecuencia, sino evidencia de una escritura poco variada. 
De cualquier modo es útil como mapa de recomendaciones. En éste caso tanto de obras buenas, como de obras que más bien conviene evitar y sobre todo, provoca hacer uno mismo su selección, por lo menos para rebatir demasiados argumentos lastimeros de éste libro. O para denunciar las obras que se han pasado por alto: Ni rastro de autores importantes como Joaquín Hurtado o Wenceslao Bruciaga. Tampoco de autores de origen extranjero pero radicados en México que también han tratado el tema, como Fernando Vallejo. Ni mención de cuentos importantes como “Éste laberinto de hombres”, de Sergio Galindo, “La gloria de la repetición,” de Enrique Serna, “La mujer de Lot” y “Marsías” de Verónica Murguía, ni de “Un martini seco”, de Arturo Arredondo. Ni de novelas como “Los esclavos”, de Alberto Chimal o “La ruta del hielo y la sal”, de José Luis Zárate. O pretende que el cuento “De amor es mi negra pena” es el único del tema de Luis Zapata, ni mención de “La cuenta de los días” o justamente “Ese amor que hasta ayer nos quemaba”. Y un larguísimo etcétera. 
En cuanto a la poesía, pese a que el ensayo con que abre declara que el tema gay en la literatura Mexicana se ha desarrollado en la poesía, el autor sólo parece conocer dos poemas del tema. “Recinto”, arriba mencionado, y muy brevemente citado, “Nocturno de los ángeles”, de Xavier Villaurrutia. 
En fin: Sí, es un libro limitado. Sí, Gutiérrez hace hincapié en la antología “De amores marginales”, que justamente es considerada una de las peores antologías del tema, como mapa. Y el propio Gutiérrez después colaboró en una segunda versión de esa misma antología, ahora titulada “Amor que se atreve a decir su nombre”. 
¿Lo vuelve todo eso un libro malo, que es mejor evitar? Creo que no. Más bien sirve como evidencia de cuales son los prejuicios a veces casi inconscientes que hay que desarraigar y disolver, tanto como lectores y como escritores. Y estudiosos. E incluso como interesados en el tema. 
A buscar textos más gozosos del tema, pues. Tierras más verdes que están ahí mismo, en el enorme campo que es México, que es Latinoamérica, que es el mundo entero.
