Homophobia and the two faces of Rede Globo

 

Well, I'm here again, hitting the same chord. With OBSESSÃO in the production process, the space is gaining other topics. If I repeat the topic of homophobia a lot, it is for the obvious reason that it touches all of us very closely.

I also need to portray myself in some way. Right here, in Mundo de Treppi, a while ago, I highly praised Globo's current "investment" in LGBT themes, even going so far as to dispense with the controversial gay kiss, in the face of so many positive initiatives. Yes, but, true to the title of one of its soap operas, what this broadcaster does is bite and blow.

I'm not even going to pay much attention to Insensato Coração again. I prefer to wait and see if the absurdity of the gay exterminator's carnage really happens. The first one was yesterday, let's see if he will fulfill his role as a cleaner when he escapes from prison. Before working out again, just wait.

However, this fuss around the issue made me think, without reaching any definitive conclusion, about the obvious two faces of the Globo network. Look, in the manipulated "reality for English to see" BBB, they decided to give victory to an openly gay man, the current deputy Jean. Yes, because it is not possible for anyone to still believe that it is the people who decide the winner of the program. Then, a few editions later, they added a few more people to make a ladder and give the prize to a homophobe. What message was that?

Another: While they present a gay couple in a position of total normality on the Love and Sex Program, they reaffirm the unnaturalness of this sexual orientation by considering gay kissing an affront to their viewers. What does this platinum-plated lady who has dominated the country's television market for years?

As I asked on another occasion, after all, who are they at the service of?

Big kiss!
