The presenter who fell in love with another woman at the age of 52 celebrates the “right to love”

Presenter Leilane Neubarth, 64, posted a photo on a social network under an umbrella in the colors of the LGBT+ flag accompanied by a message in favor of diversity.

“We are all under the same umbrella… me, everyone in the LGBT+ community and you, who surely have LGBT relatives, friends or acquaintances. The fight for respect and against prejudice is every day!!!! After all, everyone has the right to love whoever they want!

The presenter of “Conexão GloboNews” has been living in same-sex relationships for just over a decade, when she was surprised by an unprecedented feeling.

“Suddenly, things started happening and this other emotion appeared, another feeling, another attraction that I had never thought about,” he said in an interview with Veja magazine.

After two marriages to men, the first lasted six years; the other, 22, the journalist found herself in love with a person of the same sex as hers. “A completely unexpected thing: at the age of 52 I fell in love with a woman”.

Always discreet about intimacy, Leilane takes advantage of the occasional stories about homophobia on TV to take a stand on respecting sexual diversity. She has the support of her 2 children and many famous and anonymous friends.

In addition to Leilane, GloboNews has other openly homosexual or bisexual presenters and journalists. Among these, Marcelo Cosme, Pedro Figueiredo and Erick Rianelli. Often, the news channel airs discussions on combating prejudice.
