A kiss is just a kiss…. or so we thought

04/25/2012 By 10 Comments

For the most part a kiss is just a kiss, however who you are kissing may be an issue and frowned upon. 

This past weekend Club América player Christian Benítez and teammate Matías Vuoso pretended to kiss each other after Benítez scored the final goal that gave their team a win over Puebla. The Mexican Football Federation said it would not take any disciplinary actions against the two players over the fake kiss, however the head of the federations’s disciplinary commission said the image was not setting a good example.

”This kind of image cannot be allowed before the public, fans, children. It cannot be seen as a good example,” Sabater said.

Why would a same sex kiss, pretend or real, would be so controversial in Mexico since the country recognizes same-sex marriages?

About Irma Sanchez

Irma Sanchez, was born and raised in Dallas, Texas before moving to California three years ago for a job and now resides in Chicago, IL. She has been a fan of Being Latino for some time now. She was excited to be able to join and contribute to the already amazing team. In her personal life, she works as an International Relocation Consultant and has moved many families across the globe. She thanks her job for making her culturally sensitive and learning the art of patience. She has a B.A. in Decision Science and if you ask her what Decision Science is she will refer you to Wikipedia because she just listened to her counselor when deciding to get that degree and has long forgotten what it meant.

In her spare time—when she is not working because she is a self-proclaimed workaholic or doing things with Being Latino—she loves to paint. She claims that she is still in the learning phase and it will be a while before she shares her art with everyone. She enjoys reading anything and everything because she says if you are not in the know, how can you be prepared to debate? She also likes to travel and spend as much quality time with her family that she can as they are still in Texas. She has a small obsession with her youngest nephew and is now considered the boring aunt.

    Just another way to oppress the marginalized. It is just baffling to me how they make such a big deal about it! Society is going backwards – all time!
