In his lectures, the Politologist Agustín Laje and the lawyer Nicolás Márquez, authors of the “Black Book of the New Left” expose topics such as the rejection of “gender ideology” to encourage women and the LGBT community and the public policies that support it , according to what the investigators pointed out in an interview with the country.
When the invitation for the event was announced, the Council to Prevent and eliminate discrimination in Mexico City (copper) sent a letter to La Salle to show “its concern about the existence of messages that justify and promote the denial of Human rights on the grounds of non-normative sexual orientation and gender identity. ”

“Such messages encourage the persistence of discriminatory practices against people who are believed to transgress socially accepted gender and sex standards,” the document reads.
“While it is true that freedom of expression is a human right recognised in our Constitution and in international treaties ratified by Mexico,” the copper recalled… It has the limit of respect for other human rights such as equality and non-discrimination. ”

In the document, the Council reports that, at the event, everyone had the right to denounce, before the competent authorities, any act of discrimination.
