The persistence homophobia in the world of football. This time it was the turn of the player from FC Barcelona, Héctor Fort, who has been the victim of homophobic comments and insults and lynching on social networks following a photograph in which he appears with the coupletist, presenter and activist LGTBIQ + Brigitta Lamoure published on some of its social networks this past Sunday.
The transformist David Cano On Sunday, he published on the social networks of the character he plays a photograph taken at the end of March during the gala of the International Solidarity Sport. It appears in it Brigitta in the arms of the Barcelona youth player and next to the text “Easter Sunday".
«Shortly after posting the photo on all social networks, I saw that many young people, especially girls, asked if he was gay and insulted him.«, Explains to VilaWeb the activist herself, who has had to go "erasing" Y "blocking"many comments.""I was surprised that many of them were young. But especially girls, very homophobic," she said. "My fight is for a free, diverse, and inclusive society."", said the activist. Brigitta It is a much-loved reference point for the group LGTBIQ + Barcelona native, who is always there to support the cause by contributing his ingenuity.
Waiting for Barça's reaction
The all-round artist has regretted that the extreme right and its postulates are so present in social networks, but also that all this could end up harming the side of the BarçaIn this sense, the activist has pointed out that the club should speak out, especially in view of the Pride Day, that the 28 June, a day in which, in his words, "They will put flags all over the field" but "will continue with their agreements with Qatar", referring to the country from which one of the biggest sponsors of the Barça club in recent years comes. Brigitta has expressed her "disgust" at the situation in which she has found herself involved along with Hecor Fort and has assured that he hopes that "serve to continue fighting even harder to put an end to this hate speech«.
We see it as difficult for that to happen because the Barça Despite being more than just a club, it always sidesteps demands. It benefits from its own particular pinkwashing and puts the burden on its women's players. But that's a different story.
