A 12 year old boy tries to stop an anti gay march by standing in front of it with arms outstretched. 11,000 people were protesting in Celaya, Guanajuato in Mexico, September 2016 after the President proposed to change the law to allow same sex marriage nationally. Currently same sex marriage is allowed in Mexico City and 7 other cities, but is not allowed in 31 cities in Mexico. This demonstration was a protest against same sex marriage.
Photographer Manuel Rodriguez said he thought at first the boy was playing but later talked to him. The boy said, "I have an uncle who is gay and I hate people that hate".
What's happening in the picture?
Where do you think it was taken?
Tell the story
- What is the protest about?
- Why is the boy trying to stop the protest?
- Do you think he was successful in stopping the protest? He was never going to stop 11,000 people so what was the point?
- How do you think the boy is feeling?
- How do you think he feels now knowing that people all over the world know what he tried to do?
- We know not everyone agrees with us and no outsiders. Do you think the boy agrees with us? How do you know?
- What can we do when people don't agree with no outsiders?
- This story became news all over the world. Are people interested in the march, or are people interested in the boy? What does this tell us about people around the world and no outsiders?
- Is gay marriage allowed in the UK?
- What UK law says that gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people cannot face discrimination? (The Equality Act 2010)
