896436331_fc92fb6e19.jpgExcessive PDA is something I’ll admit I’m not a huge fan of, but if you’re in Latin America it’s something you just have to live with. On the metro, on the bus, on the street corner, there’s a whole lot of fajándose going on. But that has come to an end — in fact any type of kissing has come to an end — in the Mexican city of Guanajuato:

A controversy has broken out in Mexico after the city of Guanajuato, in the center of the country, decided to penalize couples who kiss in public with jail time.

The municipal law was approved on Tuesday by city hall — its majority politicians from the conservative Partido Acción Nacional (PAN)- and according to Guanajuato’s mayor Eduardo Romero Hicks, is part of a campaign to encourage “good habits”.

According to the PAN mayor, prolonged kisses in public make children feel ashamed and for this reason the law will stipulate a fine or up to three days in jail.

Alejandro Fernández: a “real man”

P56567C7ACY.jpgDon’t go calling him gay. Apparently “El Potrillo” Alejandro Fernández has been the target of criticism and speculation lately regarding his sexual orientation because he and his father engage in kisses on the mouth as a show of affection. Alejandro counters:

“Esta es una costumbre familiar y no nos interesan las críticas. Yo a mis hijos también los beso en la boca, tal y como me lo enseñó mi padre, y eso no significa nada sobre nuestras tendencias sexuales, por el contrario, somos muy hombrecitos“, expresó el artista en rueda de prensa.

It’s pretty lame that he’s basically saying he’s a “real man” as opposed to a “gay man”, who aren’t considered “hombres”. Lame because I liked him and thought he’d be beyond the typical of Mexican machismo BS of gay men are “locas”. I guess guys who kiss their dad on the mouth…we’ll, they’re just chest-beating machos who can do that.

As for the speculation, how ridiculous is it to think that a man is gay because he kisses his dad? I mean do gay men make out with their fathers? Ugh.
