Anitta made a “controversial” statement, many internet users didn’t like it, and confusion ensued. The trick is this: during a performance at the now traditional Vogue Ball, the singer said, perhaps jokingly, that she is “the gay cure”. To make matters even worse, the funk singer uttered more meaningless lines, such as: “these deer are all going to my block! Drooling!” Uncomfortable with Anitta's statements, unfortunate by the way, LGBT rights activists expressed their opposition to the attitude of Bang's interpreter.
My God in heaven, they tell me that Anitta didn't say that she was the gay cure?????????????????? You were doing so well, Anitta, why shit like that?

And whoever thinks that Anitta has carte blanche to say that she's a gay cure just because she's a "gay friend", no, she can't. This cannot be relativized.

Mana, if Anitta said it's a gay cure, I hope she's joking and is aware that homosexuality is not a disease.

The singer did not comment on the matter.
