Trans couple talks about LGBTQIA + parade: “Act of resistance”

The couple Lana Santucci, 26 years, and Estevan Vincent, 27 years old, can be called straight trans. This is because both have switched to the opposite sex to the one they were recorded when they were born and, after declaring themselves a woman (Lana) and a man (Estevan), they have a beautiful love story. Lana is 1.83m and Estevan is 1.62m. They’re the butt of weird looks when they leave, but they’ve ignored both those looks and comments.

In exclusive video at “Them on the red carpet”spoke about prejudice, the insertion of trans people into the labor market, the importance of the LGBTQIA + Pride Parade, among other topics.

“We have no patience with prejudices, we just ignore them, we don’t care,” Lana said. Estevan remembers the comments he overheard. “Oh, if you are a man and she is a woman, then everything is fine,” she says.

Lana said both have been accepted by their families, but has already revealed that she was disrespectful for being trans on the fashion sets, where she has been working since 2019, after participating in the reality show “Born To Fashion”, on Channel E! and receiving an invitation from Alexandre Herchcovitch to close the À La Garçonne fashion show in September of the same year. “I didn’t even think I was working in fashion,” said Lana, who was once a successful player. “In the world of games, I’ve heard a lot of petty comments, but I’ve learned to handle them.”

Estevan Vincent, who works with people management and human resources, recalls the importance of the LGBTQIA + Pride Parade. “It’s an act of activism and resistance. All the people who are there have a story and they are there to prove that we exist and that we must be welcomed everywhere.”

Lana also added that it is useless for companies to act only in the month of Pride and for the rest of the year nothing is done. “The training of a professional, the intellectual capacity of a person does not depend on color, ethnicity, sexual orientation or gender identity, like Vogue Brasil, Vogue Portugal, Elle, Glamor and L’Officiel. In her curriculum there are also campaigns for brands such as John John, MAC, Vivara and Paula Raia, as well as shows at São Paulo Fashion Week.
