Paco León, Sara Sálamo and other celebrities are outraged by a homophobic attack: "How angry, how impotent, how disgusting!"

The time has come to celebrate Pride, and there are many parties that are taking place throughout Spain to claim the rights of the LGTBIQ collective. However, this festivity has seen the bitter side of the celebration with a sad incident that has ended with Divino, a well-known influencer who defends the integrity of the collective, in the hospital due to a punch. An aggression that demonstrates, once again, the work that lies ahead in a society where hatred still reigns. Precisely to this incident several recognized faces have reacted, among them, Paco León, Sara Sálamo or Kira Miró.

The influencer assured that the punch he received "has broken part of his eye socket, his nose in three places and his cheekbone." "I woke up unconscious and when I looked in the mirror I had to fix my nose before calling the ambulance. I don't feel the right part of my face and I don't know if I'll feel it again. Right now I'm going into a 2 hour operation to try to put the bones of the face back together. He has tried to kill me. I have suffered a homophobic attack, I have been the victim of (another) fucking hate crime," the victim said in a post on social networks.

There are many celebrities who have sent their support to the influencer, including Paco León. The actor wanted to condemn this homophobic episode through his social networks, where he regretted that homophobic situations still occur. "The coolest person I know was hit with a homophobic beating yesterday. What anger! What impotence! What disgust!", he expressed in his Instagram stories, accompanied by his words with an image of Divino's face full of bruises

There are several celebrities who have echoed this news. In the last hours, the actress Sara Sálamo has also shared the publication of the content creator on her social networks, showing her all her support after this aggression. "I'm very sorry. This is crazy," said the actress. "Speechless. Certain campaigns are inadmissible and giving voice to certain attitudes and inciting hatred should be punishable. We are with you," designer Juan Avellaneda said in the comments of the publication. "I'm very sorry... all my love for you," said Kira Miró.

The truth is that in recent days, there are several celebrities who have come out to defend Pride. Jesús Calleja starred this week in a moment that has also been highly applauded. With a message to a follower, Calleja expressed his disagreement with the hatred that the group receives on a daily basis throughout the world.

"It is Gay Pride, these dates are important to remember, because there are still countries that contemplate the death penalty in same-sex relationships and others severely punish it... and without going very far in advanced democracies they continue to be threatened in some way their fundamental rights of equality. Happy Gay Pride Day!", said the presenter of Planeta Calleja.

But the story did not stop here. A follower came to said Calleja publication who dismissed the Pride celebration as "bullshit". "But what bullshit are these. With Gay Pride, well, what a pride, don't fuck around," she expressed. The interviewer could not turn a deaf ear to this comment, and he did not hesitate to respond. "It's true, what bullshit. They kill you because you love your partner, or they are afraid in jail. It's just that we say bullshit... That's what Gay Pride is for, so that these atrocities are not forgotten," the presenter stated. .
