One of Mexico's leading bands has a new song in support of the LGBT community. The hugely popular Norte�o band Los Tigres del Norte, has a new single titled "Era Differente" ("She Was Different") on their new album "Realidades." The single tells the story of a girl who, all her life has been wooed by boys, but whose "heart is not for a boy." Instead, she buys flowers for her best friend, a girl. The lyrics then express that love simply exists and people should look for their best match, regardless of gender. The song is a huge breakthrough for the LGBT community, especially coming from a band that is a staple of the regional genre, akin to country music in the United States. A portion of the song lyrics are "Dicen que el vuelo ideal es paloma y palomo y les parece rara otra forma de amor. Yo solo pienso que existen corrientes de aire y cada quien que aspire su viento mejor" which loosely translates to "They say an ideal match is between and man and a woman and another form of love is rare. I think love exists and everyone looks for their perfect match". Los Tigres del Norte stopped by the Las Ma�anitas Show, where Eduardo Hern�ndez, who wrote the song, said everyone should be free to feel what they want. They also had supportive messages to say when popular entertainment show El Gordo y La Flaca asked them a few questions. The article from their visit can be found here.
