- On June 25, the pride march of the LGBT community was held in most cities in the world.
- In the case of Spain, a doctor criticized the assistance of thousands of people without the use of face masks and has since been accused of being a homophobic doctor.
- To end the criticism against him, he published a video in which he kisses another medical colleague on the mouth.
For health professionals, every detail counts in order to stand out from their colleagues. It is not only about the attention within the office but you must have an exemplary life to obtain the respect of the patients. Sometimes an incorrect statement is enough to be frowned upon by others. In fact, that happened to a Spanish doctor who was accused of being homophobic for a post on social networks.
In this case we refer to the doctor Cesar Carballo, who has become one of the best-known celebrities in the European country. Since the Covid-19 pandemic, it has become common to observe the media specialist to provide hygiene recommendations.
To learn more about the doctor, he is a graduate of the University of Alcala and later specialized in Family and Community Medicine. He is currently Vice President of the Spanish Society of Emergency and Emergency Medicine (SEMES) of Madrid. He is also the author of a couple of books that have been published by Editorial Aguilar and have become best sellers.
In addition to the above, he is also adept at social networks and constantly publishes content aimed at the general population. Although the problem arose when he made a comment about the LGBT pride parade that took place on June 25.
Through his networks, he criticized that during the increase in Covid-19 cases in Spain, thousands of people gathered and without measures such as the use of face masks. Although his comment makes sense, he was immediately attacked and accused of being a homophobic doctor.
We threw our hands in our heads for that 8M of 2020. It was estimated that having confined before would have saved thousands of lives (just as they were saved if it had been done later). With this current AI, and attendance pressure, keeping this party and any like it is insane. pic.twitter.com/EY0fW6gMQw

For his part, although there were people who understood the point of his criticism, they also indicated that it was not fair. Especially because other large events have been held in Spain, such as the San Fermín Fair in Pamplona or the recent edition of the Primavera Sound music festival. Each one brought together thousands of people and most also did not wear face masks.
From then on the specialist has been accused of being a homophobic doctor. There have been few who have attacked him through social networks constantly. The attacks have not only focused on him making a poor choice of words, but he has also received verbal attacks of great magnitude.
A kiss with another man was the solution?
With this in mind, Dr. Carballo had an idea to show that It has no issues with the LGBT community and is not prejudiced against people because of their sexual orientation.
Through his social networks he shared a video in which he appears with his colleague Alfred Corell, who is a specialist in Immunology and a renowned university professor. And in order to “shut up mouths” he kisses her on the mouth as a symbol of his friendship.
Before judging, you have to inform yourself.
An honor to have as a friend @alfredocorell#tolerance #LGTBIPride pic.twitter.com/YbWaCSjDMq– Cesar Carballo (@ccarballo50) July 20, 2022
Now, from the above, a new controversy has now been generated. In this case because some people consider the video unnecessary. What they mention is that something as simple as acknowledging their initial mistake and offering an apology to the LBGT community would have been enough. Instead now it seems that he started a new scandal for gain followers and not necessarily that the doctor is not homophobic.
“I’m not homophobic because I have a gay friend”
