		</div><p>A controversial painting of a Mexican Revolution hero will remain on exhibit accompanied by a note saying the descendants of Emiliano Zapata do not agree with the effeminate depiction, Mexico’s culture ministry said.</p>
<p>The painting, displayed as part of an exhibit of artworks about Zapata in the Fine Arts Palace in Mexico City, shows a nude man with the revolutionary’s signature moustache astride a horse.</p>
<p>He is wearing high heels and striking a seductive pose.</p>
<p>Zapata’s relatives had threatened to sue to have the painting taken down, arguing that it denigrated Zapata.</p>
<p>President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador called on his culture secretary to mediate the dispute.</p>
<p>He said the family should be heard but that art should not be censored.</p>
<p>The painting titled Revolucion, by painter Fabian Chairez, sparked protests by farmers and counter-protests by defenders of sexual diversity this week.</p>
<p>Zapata relatives visited the exhibit on Wednesday.</p>
<p>As part of the deal to keep the painting up, officials agreed to spread the word about Zapata’s legacy and stop using the painting in official publicity, the statement said.</p>
