Amid the euphoria over Mexico’s victory over South Korea in the FIFA World Cup 2026, a photograph of Issac Flores, 28, and Edson González, 27, ended up moving thousands of people on social media. The image, shared by the couple themselves, shows them kissing while celebrating a victory they will never forget. ❤️
Beyond the sporting result, the photograph became a symbol of visibility in a world like football, where many LGBTQ+ people still face prejudice and barriers to showing themselves as they are.
Moved by the reaction, Issac and Edson shared a message that resonated with thousands of fans: “Same-sex couples have always existed, and being able to go out and celebrate a match during a World Cup is something everyone deserves to experience. Let’s not be afraid to show the world who we are. We are love, and we are happier and stronger than ever”. 🥹
