    This is horrible.

    It happened in a small town, during an agribusiness show of some sort. Apparently, there is a gay pride parade coming up soon there.

    I thought Brazil was a gay-friendly and accepting country? :0

    Nope. I'd say it's more or less like the USA is, or perhaps a little worse. In many places, people are still very intolerant.

    We are lucky enough for our Supreme Court to be very rational about this, so, legally, the status of gay people is good and improving. We also have a pretty progressive Constitution.
