Lorenzo Méndez has caused tremendous controversy on social networks and also was seen as completely ignorant. To understand the controversy, we return to the announcement that Demi Lovato made this week. Demi published a video where she declared that she was a person of non-binary gender.
Lovato said that she did not identify as male or female and therefore would now use the pronouns “They / them”, in English. Although there have always been people who feel dissatisfied with the male and female genders, it is an issue that little had been said about.
With the awakening of humanity and talking about taboo topics, people have felt more comfortable opening these kinds of conversations. That is why Lovato does it at this stage of her life in which she has reflected on her life.
Being that it is a topic that is now being talked about openly, not everyone can understand it. It is valid that in the face of the unknown, a person does not understand, but what is not valid is making fun of others. And that’s what the singer did, best known for being the ex-husband of Chiquis Rivera .
Responding to a publication of the program “ Wake up America ”on Instagram about Demi’s announcement, Lorenzo thought it would be funny to make fun of the subject.
“ I want to be an eagle “, replied Méndez.
When reading the answer, another person made fun of him saying that it had been “deer”, referring to having been cheated on in the past.
Méndez replied, “ Absolutely, that does not change the fact that I would like to be an eagle “.
The comment de Méndez sparked controversy but what stood out the most was the singer’s ignorance and lack of tact.
