"There is a shadow hanging over democracy and basic human rights in Brazil. Its name is Law PLC122.
If this law is approved, any kind of moral, religious, philosophical or medical opinion against the homosexual lifestyle will subject the author to prison and heavy fines. Not only in the commercial media, but also in blogs, religious programs and even private conversations. Since the days of the Nazi Party and the Maoist Cultural revolution, we havent’ seen such a blatant attack to human rights in this scale.
The radical movement is taking advantage of the momentum produced by the approval of gay civil unions by the Supreme Court last week, in an illegal usurpation of the function of the Congress. The law disrespects the Constitution, which could only be changed by the majority of Congressmen. Now the gay activists are planning a march for the bill in Brasilia, funded with money from NGOs, in order to coincide with the Global Anti-Homophobic Day in May17th."
I have a hard time believing they would outlaw churches from morally objecting to homosexuality. It would never fly in this country, since everyone would oppose it…gay or straight.

Actually a very good arugment could be made for the reverse of that quote. Since there is no proof that homosexuality is genetic. But the homosexuals and the politically correct do love to rationalize don’t they?

It’s a slogan and vulnerable as such. But as you probably guess, my opinion is that the only reason why homosexuals atr now playing their games in the hot-burning centre of the galaxy, to paraphrase Fame, is because it is a controversial issue. That is the only reason , by numbers being gay wouldn’t be even as meaningfull as being left-handed. I would like it to be that way. I can’t understand homosexuality, but it doesn’t really bother me, either. Too much fuss for nothing.
For me, this is a perfect example of “I disagree with what you have to say but I will die to defend your right to say it.” Homophobia is bad but restricting freedom of expression is worse.
