Woman sprays 'holy water' on gay couple outside Mexico church
The woman accused the two men of trying to spread immorality to the country’s youths.
A gay couple hugging in front of a church in Mexico was sprayed with what appeared to be "holy water" by a woman who accused them of spreading immorality to the country’s youth.
“Get out right now! I’m going to call the police,” the woman said in Spanish while spraying the couple and making the sign of the cross.
The encounter took place in Toluca, about 50 miles west of Mexico City, and was caught on camera and shared by one of the men in a TikTok video that has since gone viral. Posted over the weekend, the video had nearly 400,000 views as of Wednesday afternoon.
Leonardo Hernandez, who posted the video, can be heard telling the woman in Spanish, “It is bad to hate, lady.”
A bystander intervened to defend the couple, telling the woman, “They are not doing anything. They are just sitting here.”
The woman, who was not identified, put a bottle in her purse after spraying the couple and then said she was calling the authorities and took out her cellphone. She can be heard saying into the phone that the church is private property and that the couple is not welcome in the “lord’s house.” Read More…
