For a few days a video has been circulating on the internet, «First Gay Hug (A homophobic experiment)«, In which 15 individuals are manifestly invited homophobic to embrace a stranger, with the peculiarity that that strange person is gay or lesbian. The result is surprising. It matters little if the dialogues are understood or not, gesture speaks for itself.
At the beginning, the prejudices, the fears, the bewilderment, in short, the "beforehand”, That is, that which in some important sense is independent of experience. Because when we experiment and dialogue, when we listen to the other, when we touch, or simply put ourselves in the place of the other Prejudice and fear merge like snow in the heat of a hug. And so we discover that there may be an “a posteriori” of the look, of the word, of the contact, which breaks all the schemes and brings us closer to the most essential.
Because the opposite of love It is not hatred, it's fear. Fear of what we do not know, of what is different, of being robbed by referents, of being left without arguments. The cabinets must be broken from inside and outside so that equality is not only in the framework of the law and respect arises from the ability to put ourselves in the place of the other. Then we will stop seeing giants where there are only mills.
