Gil do Vigor says he is suffering “lynching” on social networks

Before gaining fame in “Bbb21”, Gilberto Nogueira, the vigor of Gil Do, integrated the Church of Jesus Christ of the Saints of the last few days, where he was a missionary for two years. At the time, he believed that religious experience could help him “heal” his homosexuality.

“During the mission, I repressed. I denied who I was. I thought that, being a missionary, it was” healed “. As if homosexuality was a disease. It was something that deeply torn me.”

The controversy began on Sunday (27), when the economist shared a video of young Mormon missionaries in his X account, praising their dedication to religious work.

“What these guys do is the mission and I did it too! Many leave the house, comfort and family to serve others for two years. For many, like me, the mission is something sacred and I had the privilege of receiving the visit of the Salvador during my missionary service. Nobody is forced to believe it or like them, but the calm are guys with comments!”.

Negative reactions on networks

However, the publication received a large refusal from the Netizen, who seriously criticized the support of the former BBB to the religious institution. Users indicated alleged discriminatory teachings of the church on race, sexual orientation and gender.

One of them wrote: “Imagine they defend a religion that says that people are black only because they are descendants of Cain, Abel’s” bad brother “.” Another commented: “Religion of misogynist shit, racist and homophobic. He made a mission because it was a brainwashing”.

Positioning in the face of criticism

Given the repercussion, Gil do Vigor decided to speak again on Monday evening (28), claiming to be the victim of unjust attacks and a “virtual lynching”. In his defense, he underlined his experience and asked for the understanding of the context of the religious mission.

“Have fun! If this is what makes you happy, see me to be” Lynchado “, Okay. I am gay, north -est, who makes mistakes, because I am not perfect, but in this case, even knowing what I have passed, do not expect me to deny what I have experienced. I was a missionary for 2 years and I did not fail to have not failed to respect anyone, I just said what they say.”

Repercussion and awakening of internal conflicts

Gil’s public defense has rekindled questions about his personal trajectory and conflicts addressed during coexistence with the Mormon religious principles.

The speech has highlighted dilemmas already exposed by him during his participation in the reality show, in particular the process of acceptance of his identity between the doctrinal beliefs that affected him emotionally.
