Look at it closely.
A photo taken by Brazilian man Nelson Felippe this week has gone viral after being shared thousands of times on Facebook and social media.
Nelson took this snap at a subway station and wrote the status below.
“I’m not prejudiced. I think people should do whatever they want to with their lives. But I think it’s absurd that I should be forced to witness a scene like this.
“What people do in private is their business only, but yes, what they do in public concerns me. And I refuse to see a scene like this and consider it normal.
“They’re challenging social conventions, and that can be dangerous. What if some tragedy strikes, or worse, if someone dies, who’s to blame.
“What would happen to a child who sees this scene every day?”
Hang on a second, here’s the twist. The status goes on.
“Kids will think it’s normal to wait for the subway on the yellow line. So don’t act like that guy over there.
“Follow the example of the girls. Stand behind the yellow line, and only cross the line after the train stops and the doors open.”
The old switcheroo there by Nelson, we love that, good on him.
Não sou preconceituoso, acho que cada um faz o que quer da sua vida. Mas acho um absurdo eu ser obrigado a presenciar…
