Comments deemed homophobic were made by the team of Beto Casella on a radio show regarding dancer Valentín Fresno, who subsequently responded via social media.
On a recent episode of Nadie nos para, hosted by Beto Casella on Rock and Pop, several members of the team made inappropriate and homophobic comments about a video featuring Valentín Fresno, a dancer from the Teatro Colón ballet. The segment included Fresno preparing for a performance of The Nutcracker, but instead of challenging the derogatory remarks, Casella himself joined in on the jokes. This lack of professionalism sparked outrage among listeners and fans of Fresno.
In light of the incident, Valentín Fresno took to social media to express his disappointment and reflect on the ongoing nature of such remarks in society. He highlighted the absurdity of still encountering such prejudice in 2026, suggesting that despite progress in some areas, homophobia remains a persistent issue. His response seeks to raise awareness about the harmful impact of derogatory comments, especially in public forums such as radio shows where hosts influence a wide audience.
The incident raises important questions about the responsibility of media figures to foster inclusive discourse and the societal implications of making light of someone's sexuality or identity. As discussions surrounding equality and representation continue to evolve, such instances demonstrate the urgent need for accountability and sensitivity in public discussions.
