Church woman sprays gay couple with holy water: “Get out right now!”

A gay couple was sprayed with what was reportedly holy water outside a church in Mexico. Video of the encounter has gone viral on TikTok.

Leonardo Hernández, an architectural designer, and his partner Thomas were sitting on the steps outside a church in Toluca, a town 50 miles west of Mexico City, with their arms around each other when a woman approached them and sprayed a fine mist of from a small bottle while making the sign of the cross.

“Get out right now! I’m going to call the police,” the woman told the couple in Spanish, according to NBC News.

A bystander defended the couple, telling the woman, “They are not doing anything. They are just sitting here.”

The woman then called the police, telling them that the church is private property and that the couple was not welcome.

“They are not from here,” she said. “They come from other depraved countries to teach immorality to the youth here.”

The video then cuts to Hernández, who lives in Mexico City, speaking to authorities on the woman’s phone. He told them that he didn’t think hugging his partner is an “immoral act” and that he and his partner have been respectful to the woman. The officer on the other end of the line can be heard saying that he’d told the woman that what she was doing was discrimination and asked the couple to leave the church steps to avoid confrontation.
