Camilo and Evaluna spoke this Jan 28th about Indigo

Colombian singer Camilo He published a message to talk about the news that has circulated in which they assure that he together with Evaluna decided to identify their daughter Indigo with a non-binary gender.

However, the interpreter of ‘Tutu’ made it clear that he and his wife have not affirmed this at any time. He considered that it was some media outlets that misrepresented interviews they have given.

“Several days ago we have been receiving a mouthful of questions and intensity from the media and especially from gossip programs about an alleged news that claimed that we had decided that our daughter would be recognized as non-binary,” they wrote.

They also added: “We deeply respect the people who make this decision, but it is not our case. They took out of context some videos of interviews where we referred to Indigo in a neutral way because until the day he was born we never knew his sex because we never did an ultrasound ”.

In the statement, they explained that they had not wanted to talk about the situation: “We thought not to comment on it and let it go, as we have done the 50 times that they have said that our marriage is in crisis, that we are going to get divorced, etc. etc”.

However, they considered that they had to do it because they noticed that discrimination and hatred towards the LGBTQ+ community is something latent.

“We found the amount of hate and judgmental messages we received disturbing. And we began to think about how people from the LGBTQ+ community might feel, for example, in the face of a world that points at them, judging them, with fingers, pointing and condemning. Imagine how intense and complex it can be for a person going through such a recognition process, and finding themselves with a society full of stones in hand, waiting for the first sign to throw them. We believe and we strive to create a world and a future where we invent more ways to love each other, to recognize each other, to respect each other and to embrace each other with our differences”, they indicated.
