Year 2023 and you still have to see this kind of thing. A gay couple denounced discrimination in a commercial plaza in Puebla by a man who, claiming to be the local authority, He fired them for giving a “bad image.”
Taking advantage of the fact that we are in the age of social networks, the young couple videotaped the entire painful scene that the aforementioned was armed to get them out of the square. Fortunately the case has already reached institutions that defend human rights.
This is how they discriminated against a gay couple in a shopping mall in Puebla
He video of the case It was broadcast on the morning of this Friday, May 12, through social networks. It happened in the Paseo San Francisco square located in the capital of Puebla.
In the video we see the moment when the man, calling himself “the authority of the place” when they asked him to identify himself, demanded the young couple to retire with arguments from the 15th century or earlier.
“It’s already twice and they can’t be here, it’s a bad image for the place. That can’t be allowed here, please come out (…) I don’t have to teach you anything, I am the authority of the square“.
Despite the fact that the young people questioned the decision to throw them out since they were not doing anything wrong, “the authority” insisted that the square is a private place and that is why he had the power to run them (Someone explain to the man that there is nothing wrong with being gay, nor is it a reason to be kicked out of a public or private place).
“That kind of thing is not allowed here. Please get out, if not, I’ll call the state right now ”, the gentleman authority tells them before retiring.
Here the video the way that the gay couple was discriminated against in the commercial plaza of Puebla:
CDH is already aware of the case
As we said before, at least the case has already reached the eyes and ears of the Puebla Human Rights Commission (CDH). According to a statement taken by MillenniumHe condemned what happened.
“The CDH Puebla condemn all forms of discrimination and violence that affects the people of the LGBTTTIQA+ communitysuch as the acts that can be seen in the video in which a person who —presumably— works in the plaza is shown “San Francisco walk”who threatens and intimidates two young people from said group to make them leave the square for considering that they gave a bad image to the place“.
The Commission stated that expressed solidarity with the discriminated gay couple in Pueblafor which he opened a complaint file for address probable violations of their human rights.
“The CDH Puebla rejects the various manifestations of intolerance based on rejection, disrespect and contemptwhich result in the exclusion of participation in any area of public life of the people who belong to the LGBTTTIQA+ community“
Hopefully this was an isolated case, but recent examples such as the woman who poured holy water on another gay couple for embracing in a church remind us that it is not at all.
