I think social issues are incredibly important, especially in a country where hate crimes against LGBT individuals aren't exactly uncommon. You can't just say that his comments about gay people don't matter. They do. These things fuel hatred and they fuel violence and they fuel the erosion of rights. I also don't think that those comments really do anything to alleviate concerns about gay rights, when he has stated as recently as last week that he opposes gay marriage:

I never said that they dont matter.They do.Of course they do.They are human beings as well, as we all are.Its just that people are trying to create a problem that dosent exist.Its irrelevant if someone loves lesbians, gays, bissexuals and whatnot, as long as he/she respects them and their choices and let them live freely.Thats what Bolsonaro current opinion on them is.At least, thats my take on it.

And when you have a security, educational, or economical proposal, it will be applied to every single citizen in that country, which obviously includes homosexxuals and minorities.After all they are not aliens, they are people too.

I think it will take a lot more to actually prove that he actually has any respect for homosexuals than a couple of throwaway PR remarks.

That said, do you have any links to these comments you are referencing?
