Brazillian president and anti-LGBTQ wonk Jair M. Bolsonaro has taken his latest disgust with the queer community to Twitter in a move that can only be described as “Trumpian.”
Bolsonaro, who has a long history of homophobia, tweeted out a NSFW video from a carnival celebration depicting one man masturbating while another urinates on him.
“I don’t feel comfortable showing it,” Bolsonaro tweeted, “but we have to expose the truth to the population knowing and always taking their priorities.”
He continued: “This is what has turned many street blocks in the Brazilian carnival. Comment and remove your conclusions.”
How about we take this to the next level?

Não me sinto confortável em mostrar, mas temos que expor a verdade para a população ter conhecimento e sempre tomar suas prioridades. É isto que tem virado muitos blocos de rua no carnaval brasileiro. Comentem e tirem suas conslusões: pic.twitter.com/u0qbPu9sie

He followed that up with a second tweet asking followers: “What is a golden shower?”
O que é golden shower?

Though he has denied allegations of homophobia, Bolsonaro has a long history of attacking gay people.
In 2002, he said in an interview “if I see two men kissing in the street, I will beat them”, and in a 2011 Playboy interview he said he would be “incapable of loving a gay son.”
Then in 2013, he told gay journalist Stephen Fry “no father is ever proud of having a gay son.” And in 2017, a Brazilian court ordered him to pay a $150,000 fine for hate speech remarks after he claimed in a televised interview that his family would never produce a queer child since every member of his family had “a good education.”

When did Trump ever tweet out anything remotely close to that?
Also, why are men masturbating and peeing on each other in public?

It’s Carnival or was in Brazil. Like Mardi Gras in New Orleans but with a Brazilian flair which means there is a lot of gay and straight public sex going on. Of course, you see the same thing in New Orleans.

Because they can?

Trump’s retweeted anti-Semitic memes, etc., so I guess that’s OK for you, right?
Bolsonaro is a notorious anti-gay, racist scumbag. He thought he was owning liberals and pleasing his evangelical base (sound familiar, conservatives?) by highlighting two random people’s behavior during Carnaval but he’s encountering a huge backlash with this one!

Really strange tweet.
truthseeker
@Kangol
What anti-Semitic meme?
Kangol
@Truthseeker: Google “Trump Hillary Clinton anti-Semitic meme.” He tweeted it on July 2, 2016. From Newsweek: the tweet involved “a Star of David…accusations of corruption, and Hillary Clinton. Trump tweeted a graphic that included a six-pointed star, money, a picture of Clinton and the text “most corrupt candidate ever.” From Politifact: “The meme came from a notoriously “anti-Semitic, white supremacist message board.” He also retweeted memes from the extremist account Whitegenocide, and another that praised Hitler. He’s a racist monster. Ignorance is not bliss.

@Kangol
That is what you define as anti-Semitic and comparable to tweeting out a video of guys peeing on each other in public? A candidate for office calling Hillary Clinton one of the most corrupt politicians with a picture of money behind her and a red clip art star from Microsoft Word? Hillary Clinton isn’t even Jewish
But if that’s your definition of anti-Semitism, I bet Illhan Omar (D-MN) probably gets a pass in your book even though she has been denounced by Chuck Schumer for her use of anti-Semitic stereotypes on Twitter, denounced by Rahm Emanuel, and many other Democrats for claiming Jewish people are “all about the Benjamins”, “Israel has hypnotized the world” implying that Jews control the world, and claiming Jews are traitors and can’t be in support of American interests
That sounds way more blatant (considering it’s her own words) than a subjective meme about Hillary Clinton being corrupt
Kangol
Oh @truthseeker, come on now. You’re not that thick. You know that the symbols of a star of David + dollars is an OLD anti-Semitic image/trope, and if you don’t believe me, look it up. It’s all over Nazi propaganda. So you’re defending the indefensible. Also, Drumpf said that the white neo-Nazis in Charlottesville screeching “Jews will not replace us” were “good people.” I mean, come on! And he’s made openly anti-Semitic comments more than once. Drumpf is full of it, and you know it!

First, he is doing this as a diversionary fuss to show how moral he is, while facing accusations of corruption (himself and all his sons, who are all in politics). Second, he tries to suggest that all gay people like golden showers. But only a small fraction do, and the same thing applies to straight couples. Straight couples can also enjoy it. He is the worst of the worst.
Kangol
He is. And a majority of Brazilians elected him. WTF???
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
And just how did this vile, abhorrent sub human piece of thit happen to come across said videos???
Rock-N-RollHS
Didn’t he hold the camera for Trump’s golden shower romp??
CobraPowers
You mean the one from the dossier that turned out to be a LIE. a PAID LIE paid for by Hillary and then sitting president Obama? Keep up and fact check, please. No wonder you buy into the Fake News.
Kangol
@CobraPowers, your hysteria is at stratospheric levels. As it turns out the Steele Dossier has turned out to be mostly true, point after point. Look it up. Also, President Obama had nothing to do with it, and the person who initially commissioned it was a REPUBLICAN. Did you forget that? You may be incapable of dealing with the fact that your beloved racist lying psychopath Drumpf is beholden to Russian kompromat, but a majority of voters can see right through him and his relationship with Vlad. If he wasn’t so entangled with Vlad Oleg & Co., why on earth did and everyone around him lie to Congress and/or the FBI about those Russian meetings? What were they trying to hide? What are they still trying to hide? Why does he keep screeching “No collusion” when it’s as plain as day to see? Drumpf’s conspiracy eventually will see the light of day, and I hope you’ll at least rethink your diehard support of that corrupt, allegedly traitorous monster, golden pee tape or not!
CobraPowers
@Kangol – Where are you getting your “alternative facts”, darling? Buzzfeed?
20 minutes actually looking up information from non-leftist, independent publications would show you that the DNC (and yes, people like traitor McCain) ordered the dossier, PAID FOR BY HRC, and the spying of then presidential candidate and private citizen was authorized by Obama. You wanna talk about hysteria? After two years of investigation, the Mueller team is about to announce ZERO Russian collusion, and the DemonRats are pissing themselves over it. What are you going to do after that, babe? Keep screaming at the sky in your pink kitty cat?

Can’t wait for our own President $hithead to fall in love with this guy.
mr guy
Don’t give them the damn ammunition. Get a room.
“Oh ThaTS kInK sHaMinG!” : F uck off
Jack Meoff
And of course, there aren’t any straight people out there who are into golden showers and the like (massive eye roll). Why is it never acknowledged that straights are into kink etc. as well we don’t have the market on it.
Kangol
Uh, isn’t Drumpf alleged to like a little golden pee action, especially in Russian hotel rooms? Don’t tell Herr Bolsonaro!
CobraPowers
@Kangol if you’re talking about the article published by Buzzfeed based on FAKE dossier paid for by HRC and then sitting president Obama, used as justification to spy on presidential candidate Trump…that was a lie, a confirmed lie. Do keep up, please. Otherwise your opinions are irrelevant.
Vince
It’s only a matter of time before his shenanigans of corruption are revealed. Of course he may just have the press killed for trying to report it.
CobraPowers
Trump is THE ONLY sitting American President to enter office in support of gay marriage (and decades of support for the LGBT community, not pushing the “agenda” but defending our dignity as human beings), and his administration has moved to decriminalize homosexuality around the world, while the left’s chocolate Jesus bowed down to regimes that torture us and execute us, and still sites like Queerty want to attack Trump for…what? for what exactly?
Bolsonaro didn’t tweet a lie, he showed the real acts of public lewdness, and if we ever expect to be looked at as normal and decent people, we should distance ourselves from behavior like that, especially public lewdness.
Kieran
More Trump derangement syndrome from queerty. Didn’t you learn any lessons from Tawana Smollett?
CobraPowers
No, they keep thinking most people have to care about identity politics. Most people don’t. That’s why the left will lose again, lack of moderation and foresight.
