Mexico don't like Emos

There is a huge problem going on in Mexico right now. There has been a huge attack against Emo youth. Apparently many Mexicans hate the Emo attitudes and the way they dress. Mobs have been straight up jumping Emo kids in the streets. Police are surrounding the streets to protect them, but it's been difficult. The main reason behind these Anti-Emo riots is that the Mexican society associates Emo with Homosexuality.

Writer of Ask A Mexican Gustavo Arellano spoke on the attacks saying "What do you do when you are confronted with a question mark about sexuality in Mexico?......You beat it up." Many of the attackers are hardcore rockers, punks, and conservatives. It seems so strange that this culture is being discriminated against and has to endure this violent hate. Especially since Emo is a form of punk. Many of the riots are being pre-planned and formed by Anti-Emo sites/blogs and groups.

The Emos have responded by walking peacefully through the center of the cities most active in these attacks. It's really sad when people aren't free to express themselves they way they feel fit. Thank you Emos for not conforming to this judgmental hypocritical society. You guys are inspiring.

When will this stop? What is happening in the video below is a sad reality
