UN Agencies Ask Brazilian President to Criminalize “Homophobia”
By Julio
Severo
The Expanded
Theme Group on HIV/AIDS in Brazil (GT/UNAIDS), in joint partnership with
national and international groups, sent a 16 October letter
to Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff and other Brazilian authorities, requesting
priority on efforts to criminalize “homophobia.”
The letter was
signed by GT/UNAIDS and its members: USAID, UNHCR, ILO, UN Women, CDCs, PAHO/WHO,
UNDP, UNAIDS, UNESCO, UNFPA, UNICEF, and UNODC. Other signatories include the Brazilian
Ministry of Health, the Human Rights Special Secretariat of the Brazilian Presidency,
and ABGLT, the largest homosexualist group in Brazil.
The letter warns
about a major AIDS epidemic in Brazil, saying that while HIV affects only 0.6%
of the general population, among men that have sex with men the rate is higher:
more than 10% of the Brazilian gay community has been plagued by HIV.
The letter
explains that the main culprit of the high HIV prevalence among homosexuals is
high violence against them and it says that prejudices against homosexuality
are a strong hindrance on AIDS prevention programs. As evidence, the letter
mentions a 2008 study by the Perseu Abramo Foundation saying that “92% of the
Brazilian population recognizes that there is a strong prejudice against
homosexuality.” Actually, the Brazilian people did not “recognize”, but
demonstrated it.
The Perseu
Abramo Foundation is linked to the socialist Workers’ Party of Dilma Rousseff,
which has occupied the executive branch and predominates in the legislature in
Brazil.
The study
tested the Brazilian population for “homophobia” by asking people to comment on
such statements as “God made men and women with different sexes so that they
could fulfill their role and have children.” The 92% of Brazilians who
agreed partially or completely with the statement were labeled “homophobic.”
Based on the
overall results of the study, the Brazilian government determined that 99% of
its citizens were “homophobic,” and therefore should be reeducated.
Apparently
failing to achieve a mass reeducation of its people, the Rousseff
administration now receives international support to advance its stalled
anti-“homophobia” bills and measures.
The
criminalization of “homophobia,” according to the letter, is fundamental for
the success of AIDS prevention programs. The letter lent a noble and
humanitarian intent to such criminalization.
The letter gives
an example of the high violence against gays, by quoting a figure of 278
homosexuals murdered in 2011 in Brazil. The figure, produced by the Bahia Gay
Group (Grupo Gay da Bahia), is a stark contrast with about 50,000 Brazilians
murdered each year. Brazilian socialist anti-gun policies have made its
population prey to criminals and murderers. Homosexuals, who often live in drug
and prostitution-plagued areas, are not more vulnerable than the general
population.
Besides, the
source for the “high violence” against homosexuals is questionable. Bahia Gay
Group was founded by Luiz Mott, a gay activist whose defense of pedophilia is public.
The letter
stresses that the Brazilian State should have no connection to religion. The
Brazilian government has no official and non-official religions, but the UN
agencies behind the letter were obviously eyeing the Christian feelings of the
most Brazilians. Because of these feelings and heritage, Brazilians reject any
kind of homosexual indoctrination in schools and the imposition of the gay
ideology on their society.
In its
conclusion, the letter urges the Brazilian government to adopt comprehensive
measures to fight “homophobia”, including priority and speeding of the voting
and approval of PLC 122,
the notorious anti-“homophobia” bill produced by the Workers’ Party.
PLC 122 makes
“homophobic” crimes acts and views against homosexuality, and its approval
threatens to bring censorship to leaders and members mentioning anti-sodomy
Bible verses even within church buildings. Even high-profile Workers’ Party
members recognize such a threat.
The
administration of Dilma Rousseff and her predecessor, former president Luiz
Inácio “Lula” da Silva, made all effort to pass PLC 122 and other homosexualist
measures, which were stalled by the effort of Catholics and evangelicals.
Certainly, the
Rousseff administration welcomes the international pressure to do exactly what
it has been wanting to do for a long time: to impose the gay agenda on the most
of the Brazilians that insist on seeing homosexuality as an abnormality.
