'I refuse to see a scene like this and consider it normal'
'I refuse to see a scene like this and consider it normal': Commuter's rant about two women embracing on a station platform goes viral (but it's NOT what you think)
- Image shows two women hugging among commuters on a train platform
- Nelson Felippe, from Rio de Janeiro, expressed disapproval of the scene
- The angry Facebook post received over 100,000 shares in 24 hours
- But Nelson was using the picture to send-up homophobic attitudes
Brazilian man, Nelson Felippe posted this image, expressing his disapproval at the 'scene'. The viewer believes he is conducting a homophobic rant, as he mentions: 'They are challenging social conventions, and this can be dangerous'
Quote:
Earlier this week, Brazilian commuter Nelson Felippe was deeply offended by a scene he witnessed on a train platform.
He proceeded to take an photo, and express his disapproval on Facebook, after which the image was shared more than 100,000 times in 24 hours.
In the picture, taken on a train platform in Rio de Janeiro, two women hug and gaze into each others' eyes, but the source of his outrage soon becomes clear in a post that cleverly spoofs conservative attitudes.

A man breaks safety regulations by standing with his foot on the yellow line
Quote:
In his Facebook post, Felippe stated: 'I am not prejudiced, I think everyone does what they want out of your life. But I find it absurd that I should be forced to witness a scene like this.
'What one does in private is your business, but what you do in public concerns me yes. And I refuse to see a scene like this and consider it normal.'
Suddenly it becomes clear what Felippe, who works at the Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, is really warning against - with his tongue firmly in this cheek.
'What would happen to a child who sees this scene every day?
'Kids will think it's normal to wait for the subway on the yellow line. So, don't act like that guy over there.
'Follow the example of the girls.'
