Luis Lobianco, used Instagram to talk about a homophobic attack that his friend suffered last Wednesday (24), in Rio de Janeiro.
The artist said that his friend was threatened with a gun and several insults by an Uber driver, just because he was gay.

Today I woke up to the news that a close friend was the victim of a violent act of homophobia. Not only him but also his 70-year-old mother, his teenage godson and her boyfriend suffered physical and verbal violence. A hate crime, committed by a driver @uber_br. There is a type of average Brazilian male who must be very desperate with our presence occupying all the spaces. To stifle your most repressed desire you need to cowardly beat two gay boys and put a gun to a lady's chest – yes, the driver did that to my friend's MOTHER. Uber Brasil, either you support the lgbtqi+ parade or you support lgbtphobia, you can't do both. This is a close friend, we walk through the same places, hand in hand with our loves and our mothers and a warning? Our community will not lower its heads! You can fill the comments here with weapons, you can use a thousand terms, real and virtual robots to justify your hatred. We are not afraid of whoever is driving the car, much less of whoever runs the country. Friend @seriocelio, I love you, count on me!
