Now I Understand Why Everybody Is Talking About This Photo Of Two Women In A Subway

Posted on at


A Brazilian man named Nelson Felippe posted a photo with an angry rant to express his disapproval of a scene he witnessed on the subway platform on Facebook that went viral almost immediately, earning more than 17,000 Facebook likes and nearly 7,000 shares.

What he posted is a picture of a metro station in Brazil where two women embracing affectionately in theforeground. This is what he wrote:

“I’m not prejudiced. I think people should do whatever they want to with their lives. But I think it’s absurd that I should be forced to witness a scene like this”

“What people do in private is their business only, but yes, what they do in public concerns me, and I refuse to see a scene like this and consider it normal”

“They’re challenging social conventions, and that can be dangerous. What if some tragedy strikes, or worse, if someone dies, who’s to blame?”

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”

Although, it’s not the picture that’s been going viral per se, it’s the caption – still, Felippe’s message has been liked and shared thousands of times on Facebook after it was posted!
