name of Ze Loncio, played by Marcos Palmira in ‘Pantanal’, gained fame on social media on Monday (04) due to the real class the character gave in homophobia related issues. In the chapter shown tonight, the farmer is questioned by his pawns After Zakio (Silviro Pereira) left his house after other employees at the place mocked him.

Angry to hear the news and scolding Mariana (Salma Egry), Zé Leôncio arrives at the shed and finds his workersHe asks why did no one stop Zakio from taking the punctuation. Hearing the laughter of his staff, the farmer responded by remembering when Alcides (Juliano Cazarré) called Jove (Jesuíta Barbosa) a “flozô”a pejorative term for homosexuals.

“It was out of ignorance,” he said, hearing from Tiberio (ghetto) and other workers that no one is used to dealing with “that kind of people”. Zé Leôncio then responded: “So it’s good for people to get used here! What you do has a name and it’s not called a joke… It’s called homophobia. And it’s a crime,” he said, and ended his case.

Web feedback: “Ally”

Zé Leôncio lines rocked the internet as soon as the chapter aired. The vast majority of the public on social media applauded the attitude which differs significantly from the way the issue of homophobia was dealt with in the original telenovela, which aired in 1990, which heavily used language that today is considered offensive to minorities.

“I learned Zé Leôncio … but we cannot always count on a teacher’s class. If Mariana is not available in the roomOne of them said, “We know where the nails are.” What a sight my friends!!! What a scene. For the first time in this second part of a telenovela I agree with Zé Leôncio’s “Another said.” Excellent adaptation of the issue of homophobia at the head of Zaquieu and with Zé Leôncio learns his lesson with the Mariana Sailor and takes it to the infantry. Scene required. The novel only gets better when changes are made. They just need to realize it,” commented a third. See more reactions and memes:
