The kiss in “Babil\u00f4nia” and Fernanda Torres’ reaction<\/strong><\/h3>\n
In 2015, during the launch of the final season of the series “Tapas & Beijos”<\/strong>, Fernanda Torres was asked about the repercussions of the kiss scene between Fernanda Montenegro<\/strong><\/a>, her mother, and Nathalia Timberg<\/strong> in the soap opera “Babil\u00f4nia”<\/strong><\/a>. The scene, aired in the first episode of the show, sparked controversy and ignited debates about LGBTQ+ representation on open television.<\/p>\n

At the time, Fernanda Torres commented: “Mom is amazing, and I tell her: ‘Mom, you’re the man in this relationship’. I\u2019m not sure if the issue was the kiss or the fact that it happened in the first episode. I think society is revealing itself to be conservative, but that also deserves to be heard and seen”.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
The scene provoked intense reactions,<\/strong> leading the soap opera to face boycotts from conservative sectors. The backlash against the kiss resulted in changes to the plot and a reduction in the presence of the lesbian characters<\/strong>, highlighting the impact of resistance to LGBTQ+ content on Brazilian television at the time.<\/p>\n

Support against homophobia<\/strong><\/h3>\n
In addition to advocating for representation in the media, at the time, the actress spoke out about the lack of legal protection against homophobia<\/strong> in Brazil: “Babil\u00f4nia came with a message where people see hope, a way out. It involves the issue of conservative society, the fact that homophobia is not considered a crime, which is also insane. Brazil is shocked by itself”.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

At the time, Brazil still did not consider hate crimes against the LGBTQ+ community as offenses punishable by law. It was only in 2019 that the Supreme Federal Court equated homophobia with the crime of racism<\/strong>, expanding legal protections for the community.<\/p>\n
The legacy and continuity of the debate<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Almost a decade later, the discussion about LGBTQ+ representation<\/strong> in soap operas and cinema remains prominent. With Fernanda Torres being internationally recognized <\/strong>for her work, her critical stance and past statements emphasize how the debate on diversity and inclusion<\/strong> remains relevant today.<\/p>\n
