A loving couple having lunch at a restaurant in Santos, São Paulo, exchanged a quick kiss, but was rebuked for owner of property. The two men considered homophobic reaction and sought the court seeking compensation. According to witnesses, the entrepreneur felt uncomfortable with the sexual orientation of the two, not the exchange of affection in public. Now, she was sentenced to indemnify each at r$ 10,000 in damages, according to decision of the 9th Law Chamber of the Court of São Paulo (TJSP).
Although he claimed with their boyfriends in front of other customers, the owner of the restaurant said in the trial, which did not intend to denigrate the couple.
In voting, the rapporteur Alexander Bucci recalled that the discriminatory approach taken discreetly or not, in itself hurts the dignity and the honor of the victim. "Can not label as offensive and prejudiced the posture adopted by the defendant, at the mere sexual orientation of the couple, in clear violation of the constitutional principle of human dignity, and are entitled, therefore, to compensation for moral damage," he said.
