The LGBT community’s fight for tolerance, respect, love, and acceptance continues all over the world.

Earlier this month, Mexican soccer players, Bianca Sierra and Stephany Mayor, decided to make their relationship public on social media.

“My world,” Sierra captioned a photo of the two of them displaying their love by a river somewhere in Europe.

Immediately after, the 23-year-old footballer began receiving hateful comments and posts from macho men, who refuse to conceive the idea of two women being together.

“Your clitoris should be mutilated,” wrote Twitter user Sadey Bolton. “You are an embarrassment to this country, degenerated lesbians.”

“El Mil Máscaras” added, “Gross lesbians embarrassing Mexico’s name.”

And it didn’t stop there. Antiheroe honored his screen name by posting, “Lesbians f*cking disgust me, we would’ve burnt them already in my hood.”

Fans who took notice of the horrific reactions the couple was receiving, decided to jump in and shower the girls with some love to put an end to all the hate.

“You guys are the best!” said TriFemenilMX. “We are proud of you being Mexican.”
