Former Brazilian Presidential Candidate Levy Fidelix Condemned to Pay R$ 1 Million for Voicing “Homophobic” View
By Julio

Former
Brazilian presidential candidate Levy Fidelix was condemned by the São Paulo
Supreme Court to pay a fine of R$ 1 million (over US$300,000) in a public civil
action filed by the LGBT movement.

“The large intestine does not reproduce…
How can I, a family man and a grandfather, be afraid of losing votes? I prefer
not having such votes, but to be a moral father and a moral grandfather to
teach his child, to instruct his grandchild. Let us end this. I just read that the
Holy Father, the Pope, expelled a pedophile from the Vatican. He did very well.
He is right! We train our children all their lives in a religious way so that
they may really find a good family way.”
Fidelix
also recommended psychological treatment for homosexuals and he said that
homosexuals should be kept away from families and their children.
In
that time, the TV show also interviewed the other presidential candidates, who did
not like Fidelix’s view.
Workers’
Party candidate Dilma Rousseff, who eventually won the presidential election,
said about his view: “I have already said that I am against homophobia and I
think Brazil has reached such a degree of civility that we cannot live together
with acts and words of discrimination leading to violence. I think that
homophobia should be outlawed.” Rousseff is a leftist with Venezuelan and Cuban
connections.
Brazilian
Socialist Party candidate Marina Silva said that the declarations of Levy
Fidelix were “homophobic and unacceptable in any circumstance.” In the TV show,
she had committed herself to mobilize her party, Rede Sustentabilidade
(Sustainability Network), to carry on a lawsuit against Fidelix for “homophobia.”
Strangely, Silva was eventually portrayed, by a propaganda from an unknown
source, as “conservative” in the U.S. media, which was silent on Fidelix and
his much more conservative stances.
PSDB
candidate Aécio Neves moaned about Fidelix’s declarations, saying, “We
absolutely repel those declarations. And as I have already said more than once,
in my view all kind of discrimination is crime. Homophobia too.”
David
Axelrod, who served as a top White House adviser after helping Obama get
elected, had been hired
to help build Aécio Neves candidacy for the 2014 Brazilian
presidential.
Axelrod
was brought to Brazil with the help of former President Fernando Henrique
Cardoso, also known by his initials FHC — who is close to former US President
Bill Clinton. FHC founded PDSB, the Brazilian Social Democrat Party, whose
presidential candidate was Neves.
Longtime
Obama adviser Axelrod wrote in his new biography, “Believer: My Forty Years in
Politics,” that Obama followed his
advice that he should not declare his real position on gay “marriage”
so he could avoid opposition from African American religious leaders and others
to get elected president in 2008. He said Obama “modified his position” to say
he supported civil unions — but not same-sex “marriage.”
Possibly,
Axelrod taught his Brazilian candidate to lie about the same issues. Even so,
both Fernando Henrique Cardoso and Aécio Neves were portrayed as “conservative”
by the mainstream media in the U.S. In this point, I wonder why the U.S. media
labels Brazilian leftist politicians as “conservative” if all of them opposed
and attacked Fidelix and his anti-sodomy views.
Axelrod’s
candidate lost, but the homosexual agenda not. To the detriment of moral
issues, especially a resistance to the advance of homosexual tyranny, the focus
of political battles has been economic.
Yesterday
(March 15), according to Reuters,
“Over one million demonstrators marched in cities and towns across Brazil on
Sunday to protest a sluggish economy, rising prices and corruption — and to
call for the impeachment of leftist President Dilma Rousseff.”
Among
those opposing Rousseff were Neves and Marina Silva.
Today
(March 16), with Brazilian headlines about the Fidelix condemnation, there was no
demonstration, by Neves or Silva, to defend Fidelix’s free speech.
In an
ideal world, he would not have been condemned, and Rousseff, Neves and Silva
would see millions of demonstrators marching against their leftist agendas.
The
São Paulo Supreme Court said that Fidelix’s declarations exceeded the limits of
free speech and reflected hate speech. In its ruling, the court added,
“[Fidelix’s declarations] reflect a sad Brazilian reality of violence and
discrimination against this population group. We, the public authority, have
the fundamental responsibility to protect human dignity.”
Now,
homosexual vice equals “human dignity.”
The
lawsuit filed by the LGBT movement also wants Fidelix and his party to pay all
expenses for the production of a TV show promoting homosexual rights. Moreover,
it imposes a daily fine of R$ 500,000 for each day of judicial order breach.
During
the September TV show, where Fidelix made his declarations, a member of Marina
Silva’s Brazilian Socialist Party said: The worst thing is that most
constituency thinks as Fidelix does.
As
Fidelix, most of the Brazilian people are Catholic.
Even
not taking his religion in consideration, is his view different from what most
Brazilians think? No. According to a study
by an institute connected to the Workers’ Party, 99% of the Brazilian people
are “homophobic,” that is, they have views contrary to homosexual behavior.
Today,
Fidelix has been fined R$ 1 million for voicing a view against the obvious
homosexual depravity. Tomorrow, ministers and priests and their members may be
the next.
If
the Brazilian people do not make demonstrations for Fidelix’s free speech, Cuba,
Venezuela, Axelrod, Obama and other antifamily radicals are going to keep in
the Brazilian presidency individuals committed to homosexual agenda.
