Living freely as LGBT, the protagonists of ‘Pantanal’ promote a small revolution in the relationship between audience and television actors
The heartthrob can’t be gay and the girl can’t be lesbian. bisexual? Nananina n. Until recently, this was the rule imposed on soap opera artists. LGBT actors and actresses locked themselves in wardrobes and lived in fear of being exposed. The disclosure of your sexual orientation posed a risk to your television career and an impediment to obtaining advertising campaigns. The world has changed. Not as much as it should, but it has evolved a bit. Today, notoriously declared non-heterosexuals are accepted by the majority of the public. Ok, a good portion doesn’t exactly accept. Just tolerate or act with indifference. This is better than expressing prejudice, attacking with hatred and adhering to the boycott, as the radicals preach. On Friday (5), social networks were euphoric over the capture of Jesuíta Barbosa kissing a boy on the mouth (beautiful mustache, by the way) on Leblon beach in Rio. Jupiter got tired of Juma’s speech: “Querimbora, querimbora!” – and invested in a magical boy. Seriously, the actor wasn’t worried at all about the curious glances of anonymous people and paparazzi while enjoying the warm Rio winter. On Sunday (31), Alanis Guillen had been the ‘captured of the time’. The photo next to a blonde in a shopping mall led the media to report that they were a couple. The actress said she was a friend. The female jaguar performer in “Pantanal” created her own definition for her sexuality. “I am a multiple woman”, she told ‘Fantástico’. “I have learned a lot from my relationships, both with women and with men.”
The two protagonists of Globo’s nine o’clock telenovela who fearlessly live their desire based on sexual diversity is proof of the current progressive prejudice of society, despite the resurgence of intolerance in recent years. This is not about advertising LGBTQIAP + sexuality, but about emphasizing the importance of guaranteeing individual freedoms, such as kissing whomever you want. Without activism, just to be who they are in front of everyone, the interpreters of Juma and Jove make a valuable contribution to the fight against prejudice. The case of Jesuíta and Alanis also serves to encourage the novelist to permanently separate the actor / actress from his character. It is no longer possible to mix fiction with the private life of artists.
