Madame Jeanette.

Althougs this name most commonly describes a very spicy Surinames pepper it is in this case the name of Madame Jeanette Pepper, The Drag Queen hostess of Curaçao GayPlasa's monthly Madame Jeanette Straight-Friendly Party. She prides herself for being the Spice of Curacao's Gay life!

In a time when the island of Curaçao is going through some drastic political changes it most important to focus the attention of the island on the Gay issue and the fact that it is perfectly normal to love someone of the same sex. Now while Madame Jeanette is not involved in politics she does her part in raising awareness and by providing a very visual focal gathering point for Gay issues.

To understand a bit more about this it is required to illustrate the fact that Curaçao is a very small island in the Caribbean although in every day encounters Gay and Lesbian people are accepted there is still a lot of ignorance towards homosexuality. As we all know ignorance breeds fear and fear is what keeps people from moving forward and being receptive of change.

Enter Madame Jeanette and the GayPlasa Curaçao team, their aim is to make being Lesbian, Gay, Transgendered, Bisexual or just confused a perfectly normal thing to be, one Party at a time! Held pre-dominantly on the Second Saturday of every month the parties are a delicious mix of people from all walks of life!

For now,

XOXO
