translated from Spanish: Movilh branded the Minister of Justice for “homophobic” by adoption law

The movement of Homosexual Integration and Liberation (MOVILH) expressed its repudiation against the Minister of Justice, Hernán Larraín, who gave indications to the draft reform of the Adoption Act, which ensure benefits couples Heterosexua them, passing over “the proposals of the aforementioned LGBTi collective.” “Let’s re-replenish the idea (…) of criteria of preference with respect to the adopters, mainly referred to the possibility that the role of father and mother, that is to say, the existence of a family environment where this function of father and mother can be properly exercised, is valued in the adopter. , said Larraín to the third. A similar discourse was held by the Head of Justice in the Chamber of Deputies, when the Adoption Act was discussed. “It is possible that the law establishes a criterion of preference for those who perform role of father and mother, with the purpose of giving that child the possibility of having a home” with both figures, he said. The leader of the Movilh, Rolando Jiménez, indicated that these positions “denigrate the Homo families, while without any argument more than fundamentalism is saying that two mothers or two parents are not the best for boys and girls, because the ideal is the Heterosexuality. This vision, wherever it is regarded, is homophobic, because it intends to discriminate or privilege in a foolish way exclusively because of the sexual orientation of the People “” Larraín speaks as if there were no Zamudio law, nor the amicable settlement agreement that The state of Chile and the Movilh signed before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights precisely to ensure the advancement of LGBT adoption, without establishing privileges for heterosexuals. The minister is promoting hatred and violence towards the diverse families, since it places them in a second human category and considers them undesirable when compared with heterosexuals, “added the spokesperson of the Movilh, Daniela Andrade, for her part, the spokesman Óscar Remento, described the claims as an “insane government strategy,” which they pointed out “lost in the Family commission, where the congressmen presented and voted favourably our indications for not making differences between Homosexual and heterosexual couples when adopting. Now Larraín persists in its homophobia, which is repudiated, in particular because it also violates the best interests of the child by lessening the chances of finding the better family, excluding a priori a human group for their sexual orientation. ” “We called on the Government to fulfil its international commitments, to stop fool the Inter-American system of human rights and to represent the country on these issues rather than exclusively the UDI”, concluded the Movilh.
