Saturday Leticia Siciliani was invited to PH, can we talk (Telefe), and took a step forward more than once in the different slogans proposed by Andy Kusnetzoff. The driver called the meeting point to all those who have ever felt the weight of prejudice in their lives, and the actress did not hesitate to tell her experience. After pausing briefly to contain the emotion, he recounted what he felt the day he kissed a woman for the first time.
“I kept thinking, because I think i faced mine when i told everyone i was dating a girl, my ex ”, he acknowledged at the beginning. Immediately, she covered her eyes with her hands to prevent her tears from falling: “Oh God, I cry”. Seeing her moved, Florencia Peña, Diego Poggi, Cucho Parisi and Álvaro Navia approached and merged into a group hug.
“I cry because it makes me nervous to talk”, confessed Leticia, who usually opts for a low profile both on her social networks and in interviews when it comes to her love life. “It was facing my prejudices about what the other was going to think, more mine than others, as for example, thinking: ‘My parents are dying’. And nothing to see, zero, the best always; and the rest of the people never mattered so much to me, ”she assured.
“The day I kissed a girl I said: ‘OK, I fell in love’. This is it, this was what happened to me for so many years”, he revealed, as a smile spread across his face. “Did you kiss guys before?” Andy asked him, and Griselda Siciliani’s sister replied: “Yes, yes, I’ve done my things, but I don’t know, I didn’t feel completely comfortable, I felt I didn’t fall in love with anyone . I went out with boys, I had a good time, they ended up being my best friends, but nothing more”. In this sense, she contrasted the special feeling that came over her when she met someone special.
“I remember that day, that I kissed that girl and said: ‘I’m touching the sky with my hands, this is it’”, he emphasized. And he added: “From there I went directly to tell everyone. I didn’t know if I was going to be with that girl, nothing, but I went and told everyone.” He also said that her parents were away at the time, and he waited for them to come back to talk to them.
“I did not want to send them in an email,” he joked. When the driver asked him how they reacted, he commented that each one had their own process: “My super understanding mother, at the touch she asked me about her, what was she doing with her life, what was her name; and my dad was more reactive, as if that were a stage”. He also clarified that that conversation took place a decade ago, and reflected the inconveniences he had until they managed to understand each other: “He started talking about a thousand things that had nothing to do with it, but it helped me a little to break my Oedipus with my dad.”
Last May, Leticia used her Instagram account, where she has more than a million followers, and decided to open up with her followers from Instagram to play a game of questions and answers. In that context, a user asked him if he had not been afraid to publicly reveal his sexual orientation. “I am going to answer her, but also not to talk about myself especially, but because in the last few days she talked to herself not as much as she should have talked to herself; The reality is that there was little talk…Mariana Genesio Pena She suffered an outrageous attack while she was giving a note in the middle of Palermo by a person who attacked her very violently, with total impunity,” she replied, referring to the terrible situation experienced by the former star of small victories while being interviewed by LAM on public roads. It all happened when a stranger who was passing by began to yell at her.
Meanwhile, the actress continued: “And these things continue to happen in the media. This happened on the street, in Palermo, but these things are not always communicated in the media; there are people who today continue to have messages of hate towards dissidence, towards certain groups, minorities. So it would be good if we were more attentive because when we sometimes say ‘these things don’t happen anymore’, it’s not like that. These things happen, they happen in everyone’s eyes, so let’s be vigilant, let’s be vigilant”.
Then, he made reference to his particular case. “It didn’t scare me, but I do remember that at that time I was recording my hope and in a bump I went to the dressing room and went to Twitter, and the note had come out in which I told this, that in reality I had who I lived with, and in the mentions I had many, many messages attacking me, insulting me, discriminating against me, many hate messages”, he recalled.
“At that moment I was seized by an anguish, a crisis, crying, everything. Luckily I was with my friends, castmates, who supported me, accompanied me and supported me because I was really very sad.. In that same story, he swooned his colleagues Lali Esposito y Laura Cymer in the form of thanks to highlight the attitude they had with her.
“It also made me sick to see how on television in the days that followed they talked about it as something extraordinary, like ‘Griselda Siciliani’s sister came out of the closet,'” he stressed. And she closed: “So no, It didn’t scare me, but at that moment it was something I wanted to happen quickly. Today I have no regrets and I am enormously proud, but at that time I had a hard time”.
