Couple's Photo Defies Society's Standards of Love



If you know of someone who doesn’t believe that love is over all, then have them take a look at this amazing photo symbolizing love despite different beliefs.


According to TVM News, Matteo Menicocci, an Italian photographer/LGBT activist, and his partner Riccardo experienced homophobia and were insulted during their holiday visit to Tel Aviv. The couple decided to take this photo in order to promote “love and peace between sexes and religions”. In the photograph Menicocci is seen wearing traditional Palestinian garb while kissing his partner Riccardo, who is wearing a Yarmulke, a Jewish symbol. Let’s give a round of applause for this symbolic imagery. Let this be of motivation for those who are in interracial relationships or any couple in love despite society’s standards of normalcy. Love Always Wins!
