USP Students Make Micro-documentary About Homophobia In Brazilian Stadiums; Check out!

"Counterattack" addresses the effects of homophobia in Brazilian stadiums

+Come sealing! Queen hits the big screen with a new documentary in May!

Anyone who has ever been to a football stadium You know how much homophobia is present in the chants and shouts of the fans.

Functioning as a mirror of society, the fans at the same time corroborate and manufacture the homophobia, by using the suggestion of homosexuality as the maximum offense and, to the same extent, attesting to how dangerous it is for a homosexual it could be your mere presence in a stadium. It was based on this question that USP students created the mini-documentary Counterattack.

Dealing precisely with the issue of homophobia in football and its environments, the film brings together the groups Palmeiras Livre and Gaivotas Fiéis, and experts such as the USP psychologist, Roberto Romeiro Hryniewicz, and Flavio dos Campos, coordinator of the Interdisciplinary Center for Football Studies and Playful Modalities.

If the crowd's behavior is often a mirror of the real face of the world, naturally, albeit regrettably, the crowds would be somewhat homophobic.

According to the film, transforming and expanding the very idea that family should only be the nuclear and heteronormative concept of a man and a woman is the starting point for changing this threatening logic – transforming society to, consequently, also transform the football in something as colorful as the fans are, by far.
