Brazilian Man's Facebook Photo of Two Women Hugging Tricks the Internet

A picture posted by Brazilian commuter Nelson Felippe is going viral on Facebook and it will take you more than a quick look to decipher the real meaning of the rant that accompanies it.

"What you do in public concerns me, yes. And I refuse to see a scene like that and consider (it) something normal," he wrote in Portuguese on Facebook. You might be beginning to categorise him as a homophobic, but hold your judgement till you finish reading.

That's probably why Brazilians couldn't help but laugh at the first thought that crossed their minds when they saw this picture.
