An anti-LGBT demonstration in Celaya, Mexico, was one of dozens that sprung up across the country following marriage equality victories in Mexico City and nine out of 31 Mexican states.

But, as more than 11 000 people joined in the Celaya demonstration, one boy stood up in an attempt to block it – and journalist Manuel Rodríguez was able to capture the moment.

At first, Rodríguez thought the boy was just playing around, but soon realised the 12-year-old had a personal reason for acting in such a brave manner:

“I have an uncle that is gay, and I don’t like people hating him,” the boy reportedly told Rodríguez, according to a translation of the Regeneración article provided by The Huffington Post.

No one should have to experience such hatred.
