Not playing
A moment at a protest march against same-sex marriage in Ceyela, Mexico.
“At first I thought the child was only playing,” says photographer and journalist Manuel Rodriquez, who captured the exact moment a 12-year-old boy leapt in front of a crowd of 11,000 people protesting the proposed same-sex marriage law in Mexico.
Talking to Regeneración, Rodriquez explains that when he asked the anonymous boy what he was doing, the child responded, “I have an uncle who is gay. And I hate that people hate.”
It brings a tear to my eye.
Anyone else reminded a little of Tank Man?
If people could get up the same amount of energy against the real injustices in the world that they do against same-sex marriage, we might be able to actually solve a few problems.
Oh definitely. I almost said that.
