In 2008,
A bill,
already approved in
Similarly, it
uncovers the true goals of the homosexual movement, and, is thus of pivotal
importance to freedom-loving people around the globe.
Religious Persecution Bishop Redovino
Rizzardo, of Dourados,
State of
“The Federal Senate is evaluating Projected Bill
122/2006, intended to protect those who choose to adopt homosexual attitudes
and practices. .... If approved, the bill would hinder the Catholic Church,
which strives to follow the Gospel. Thus, a priest who condemns homosexuality
in his homily may be judged for ‘causing moral, ethical, philosophical or
psychological embarrassment.’ A decision by a seminary rector to refuse
admittance to a homosexual student could bring him three to four years in
jail.”[1]
Homosexuality: Not a Source of Rights Fr. Luiz Carlos Lodi da Cruz, a
distinguished opponent of abortion and homosexuality, published an article
against the bill. In it, he shows how the bill fits into the process of
systematic anti-life and anti-family offensives by the socialist President Luís Inácio Lula da Silva’s government, in direct conflict with the
fundamental principles of Catholic morality.
In his article, titled “The Lula Government and
the Combat against Chastity,” Fr. Lodi da Cruz makes
a connection between the pro-abortion and homosexual movements:
“In the Lula government, the pro-abortion cause,
that attacks human life, walks hand-in-hand with the pro-homosexual cause, that attacks the virtue of chastity on which the
family is built. Since the beginning of 2003, the government has been actively
pursuing an agenda, both domestically and with the international community (UN
and OAS), to glorify homosexuality and treat those who oppose homosexual conduct
as (homophobic) criminals.”[2] After presenting a chronological list of all the
pro-homosexual measures the Lula government has taken, Fr. Lodi da Cruz analyzes the bill that would make homosexuality a
source of privilege:
“What does it mean? It means that in addition to
the basic rights guaranteed by the Federal Constitution to all people, those
who practice homosexuality will also have rights by virtue of the homosexuality
they practice. The bill grants rights to homosexuals, not in their capacity as
persons but in their capacity as homosexuals. Now then, homosexuality
(understood as the practice of carnal intercourse between persons of the same
sex) is a vice against nature that cannot grant any rights whatsoever to
anyone.”[3]
Vice is Transformed into a Source of Merit
Similarly, attorney Maria das Dores Dolly Guimarães, president of the Sao Paulo Federation of
Movements to Defend Life, comments that, according to the bill, “homosexuality
would cease being a vice and become a source of merit. Likewise, anyone daring
to criticize homosexual conduct would be criminalized.”[4]
Further on, she emphasizes: “Christians will be
the first ones to suffer persecution.”
She exemplifies this with some of the bill’s
provisions:
“The proposed legislation intends to punish with 2
to 5 years inprisonment, anyone who dares prohibit or
prevent the public practice of an obscene act (‘manifestation of affection’) by
homosexuals (art. n.º 7).” The same punishment would
befall a housewife who fires her children’s babysitter upon finding out she is
a lesbian (art. n.º 4).
“A priest who condemns homosexuality in his sermon
could be prosecuted as per article n.º 8: ‘causing ...
ethical, philosophical or psychological embarrassment,’” and “the rector of a
seminary who rejects a homosexual student could be condemned with 3 to 5 years
in jail (art. n.º 5).”[5] “The Gay Gag Law” This
proposed bill has become known in
That is precisely the title of a study by lawyer
Paulo Medeiros Krause: “The Gay Gag Law, Gay Super-rights, Unconstitutionality
and Totalitarianism,”[6] in which he states:
“The projected bill is flagrantly unconstitutional
and beckons the implantation of totalitarianism and State ideological
terrorism, in blatant violation of the rights of equality, free expression of
one’s thought, inviolability of freedom of conscience and belief,
non-discrimination for reasons of religious, philosophical or political
beliefs, and a violation of due process, material or substantive (art. 5.º, caput, IV, VI, VIII, LIV, of the [Brazilian]
Constitution).”[7] In another article on the same topic, Dr. Krause shows the
ideological Marxism underlying the projected bill:
“What is really behind the projected bill is an
attempt to impose as dogma, the morality and naturalness of homosexuality. This
dogma is not scientific, but has a Marxist ideological origin. Denying this
supposed truth would become punishable by penal law. Nothing could be more
aggressive or inadmissible. It is policing ideology. … Obviously, law could
never oblige anyone to accept papal infallibility, and yet, this law would
impose the dogma of the infallibility of [the Marxist thinkers] Erich Fromm and
Herbert Marcuse on all Brazilians.” [8]
Homosexuality is not a “Gender” but a Behavior
Prof. Uziel Santana, of the Federal University of Sergipe, explains in a simple and categorical fashion why
the “Gay Gag Law” is unconstitutional:
“Why is Projected Bill 122/2006 unconstitutional?
It is unconstitutional because art. 5º of the Federal Constitution establishes,
as a first and fundamental right and guarantee, that “men” and “women” have
equal rights and obligations. Thus, the Constitution does not recognize a third
gender: the homosexual one. So, how can an ordinary bill attempt to establish
super-rights for and the impossibility of criticizing those who, as
homosexuals, are not even recognized by the Constitution? Whether they like it
or not, they are only men or women to our Magna Charta.”[9]
“From every indication, when the bill is voted
into law, in addition to all the basic rights the Federal Constitution
guarantees to all Brazilian citizens, homosexuals will have privileges and
advantages derived from their sexual choice. In contrast, all those who do not
agree with homosexual behavior will either have to keep quiet or to get ready
to occupy a cell in one of the country’s prisons.”[10]
