the influencer Ale Monteiro accumulates 1.5 million followers on Instagram and shares his day to day on the web and, during an interview, the businessman vented about the prejudices he suffers daily.
He is a gay man and said that in addition to suffering prejudice due to his sexual orientation, Ale said that he also suffers exclusion because of his body.
“I think I suffer more because I’m fat than because I’m gay, but of course neither of those two places really bothers me, because I’m very well resolved with my body and sexuality”, he said.
“I’m not a leading man and I’m not a sought-after pattern, so it’s been a pretty lonely journey.” commented.
“I stopped being invited to play football, partnering with someone in dances and it is something that always happens with a fat person, being gay is even worse”, he spoke.
“I am accepted, but I am an exception that is not accepted as such. People tolerate more than they respect. I’m openly gay, fat, but I’m a businessman and I generate many jobs. So, I am not in the position of being an employee, but an employer and I think that influences a lot, but I am fully aware that if it were the other way around, I would certainly not be hired”, scored.
