INTERNATIONAL / By Luis Moreno

The World Youth Day (WYD) started this Tuesday in the Portuguese capital of Lisbon and a person appeared at the event with a transsexual flag in his hand and recorded the reactions of all the attendees around him, later publishing it on their networks. social.

After declaring on his YouTube channel that the young people were yelling at him “you are not ashamed!”, he then attached what he had filmed. “Look at my flag!” The person holding the flag began shouting.. In response, a WYD assistant told him to shut up with a “shhh”, to which the filmer replied: “Go to hell”.

After the complaints of a man and a woman, who approached him to ask him to stop showing the flag, he added that he was “representing” his people, “like everyone else with his flag”, referring to the custom of a large part of attendees to carry the flags of their respective countries, and ended by saying: “God loves everyone”.

“You shouldn't do this, it's an apology for…”, the woman replied without finishing the sentence. The young woman insisted that she could not do what she was doing, to which the person recording said: “I can be here.”. She responded that it could clearly be there, and when the person holding the flag wondered if she could carry the trans symbol, the assistant's response was another: “No, you can't.”

“You can be here, we're not saying no, just don't carry the flag,” said the girl. “Are you organizers? Are you organizers?” Asked the person recording, to which this time the young man replied that they were not, but that even so he should not carry the flag.

Simultaneously to this moment of the conversation, the girl nervously asked me not to record her: “You can't film me!”. After this clash, whoever was recording responded: “Well, go to hell”, as he walked away, ending the video.
