Lesbian couple kicked out of supermarket for kissing

Florencia B. (27 years old) and Irupé B. (23 years old) are girlfriends. On Friday the 20th, they were assaulted by the owner of a supermarket in Morón, in Greater Buenos Aires, while shopping. “He insulted us in front of everyone and nobody did anything,” one of the women said. The couple filed a complaint with the Morón Prosecutor's Office No. 2 and with the National Institute Against Discrimination, Racism and Xenophobia (INADI).

Is Hetero Diverse? A Dangerous Government Campaign

I never heard anyone shout “hetero” as an insult. Now, “faggot” is commonplace. All of us who distanced ourselves from the privileges of heterosexuality learned to transform insults into pride. Those of us who pulse with a rhythm that clashes with the choreography of heteronormativity were disqualified from that board of the “Game of Normal Life” and had to learn to survive by other rules. So today, when the National Secretariat of Human Rights tweets that “heterosexuality is part of sexual diversity,” the scars left on me by not being that heterosexual, and, according to the government, diverse sexuality, still burn.
