Homophobia against VIPS

GAYLES.TV.-  VIPS is a chain of restaurants that has become the target of a homophobic campaign led by an ultra Catholic group. The reason? Show a gay couple in their recent promotional campaign. So far they have started a collection of signatures against the restaurants and they already have more than 10.000 (it seems incredible how much retrograde there is in this country!).

But let's go in parts. It turns out that this ultra-Catholic group is none other than "Make yourself heard" and whoever heads it is Ignacio Arsuaga, neither more nor less than the nephew of Rodrigo Ratoyes, the Bankia, the former corrupt and condemned minister for whom we are all returning bailout paste to the bank. "Hacerte Oír" focuses its main activity on anti-abortion demonstrations and was declared an association of public utility thanks to the endorsement of the current Minister of the Interior Jorge Fernández Díaz  next to the hard wing of the PP.

And now that we have positioned ourselves as to who is behind the campaign, let's get to know its content: "More and more companies are blurring and excluding the natural family, the one made up of father, mother and children in their advertising campaigns." We started well. The text continues in the first person in an almost colloquial tone, “Last Thursday I went to eat at VIPS. And I came across a placemat with an image that caught my attention, What might seem like a harmless ad campaign, made me realize a enormous danger: an image of the family that is not natural is normalizing. And what's worse: VIPS, a group that governs family establishments, is lending itself to this game. "And I say, do these individuals know the legality in force in the country in which they live ?, because talking about danger and what is natural and what does not rub the limits of disqualification and incitement to hatred. But let's continue to lack the pearls, "I understand the freedom of the company to make the advertising that it wants but if the majority of its clients are families, VIPS decides to exclude them and ignore them. These images, and others like them, are everywhere. On the street, in the group's restaurants and on social networks. And children and young people are watching them. Children and youth that could be your children, your nephews or your grandchildren. Children and young people who are being confused. I thought about my children and I was very worried that they were being bombarded with this image. I thought about the times that we go to a VIPS to have a snack and I see all the families there, and that I know they tend to frequent their establishments ”. Apocalypse now! Children bombarded between hamburgers! Confused and manipulated while they snack! And they can be your grandchildren, your children, your nephews!

But what kind of soulless restaurant can do that to the innocent larvae of the country's most scruffy, retrograde, facha and mangui right? For the VIPS chain, before which we take off the hat because it has just announced that it will not withdraw the campaign because it brings visibility to the LGTB movement and that in social networks has published: "Respecting people by valuing their diversity is the first principle of the mission of Grupo VIPS. This philosophy governs and has always governed the day to day of our business ".

That comes to be a can put the signatures where they fit. What a lot of people! When does a collection of signatures denounce their intolerance and their incitement to hatred and violence? We have a consolation, the usual one, "They bark, then we ride".
