Who saw it? Babilônia ends by satirizing “Christophobia” and features many “gay kisses”

The end of the soap opera "Babilônia", shown on Friday (28) and rerun on Saturday (29), highlighted what it dared to invest in right at the beginning – and which ended up retreating due to low ratings and complaints from conservatives. In other words, several kisses between the gay and lesbian characters.

+ 10 reasons that explain whether it was worth (or not) watching Babilônia

Teresa (Fernanda Montenegro) and Estela (Natalia Timberg), for example, they even shared two kisses in the last chapter. And, for the first time, Ivan (Marcello Melo Jr.) and Sérgio (Claudio Lins) also gave in to a kiss right after a marriage proposal.

They were at the ceremony for Regina (Camila Pitanga) and Vinícius (Thiago Fragoso), when Ivan says: "People talk and talk, but deep down, deep down, everyone wants to get into this robbery, right?" “Do you want it?”, Sérgio replies. "Are you asking me to marry you now?" “Why not?”, he replies. "To everyone's joy, I accept", says Ivan, who receives a kiss.

Previously, it was also discovered that the athlete's run over – which left him paraplegic – was caused by Osvaldo (Werner Schunemann). The villain wanted to kill Ivan, because he thought he caught him entering the nightclub where Murilo's (Bruno Gagliasso) murder took place. At the end, Ivan had a scene in which he wins a swimming championship with Paralympic athletes – and of course he had his lover's support and celebration.

CHRISTOPHOBIA AND THE END OF THELMA AND LOUISE

More than addressing the stamps, the plot was an outburst about the boycott that led to and even satirized the political moment in which we live. The religious and homophobic politician Aderbal (Marcos Palmeira) even planted a bomb with a rainbow flag and accused the fake attack of "Christophobia" and said it was an affront to the "traditional Brazilian family".

Apart from the fact that the politician was arrested, any similarity with reality may not be a mere coincidence.

The character Paula (Sheron Menezzes) even said that she wants to form a "perfect family" like that of Estela and Teresa, who are Rafael's (Chay Suede) mothers. “That’s a mystery,” replies the lawyer. But it is Estela who answers: "The secret is in love." "That's true," she agrees.

The reference to diversity was even at the end of the two straight protagonists Beatriz (Gloria Pires) and Inês (Adriana Esteves), who end up dying together in the car falling off a cliff. The scene is similar to the film Thelma and Louise, a 1991 "lesbian" classic, in which the characters also end up falling out of a car together and looking at each other. There were those who thought the scene was reminiscent of Mexican soap operas. 

"Wow, what about rogeria?", many asked. The character Úrsula Andressa, who is a transsexual woman, had a prominent scene in the last chapters. At her granddaughter Gabi's (Kizi Vaz) wedding, she is the one who takes the waitress to the altar into the arms of Tadeu (Cesar Mello) was extremely elegant and rocking a purple outfit and red lipstick at the Catholic church.

The only thing missing was a performance from her in the last chapter to knock it out of the park, right? 

Despite having a rating of 32,2 on Ibope, Babilônia has good reasons for the LGBT community to celebrate. Thanks Gilberto Braga, Ricardo Linhares and João Ximenes!
