According to the deputy, he was in the Congress cafe when another congressman entered the bathroom and mocked him.
The deputy, whose name Jean never mentioned, reportedly said: "I'm from the time when fagots knew their place." He also did not say whether or not he refuted the homophobic comment.

The fact is that this moment exemplifies Jean's recent speech for SBT's Conexão Repórter program, which said that Congress is also a space of institutionalized prejudice. "In other words, in his time a 'faggot' could not run shoulder to shoulder in the National Congress."
Apart from the Alagoas 24 H website, there was no repercussion about Jean Wyllys' statement in the press.
