Every time my friend Daniel at the airport waiting for her lover who lands from Chile - and start counting the days that separate him from every quarter of his tourist visa - I write a post on the state of gay rights. Today, even if on purpose, I also participated in a debate on gay rights and homophobia have occurred where the on.li Tanning (Pd) and Perina (PDL, Finian area).
Both would welcome the extension - it would be better say in the creation, as we are at absolute zero - the rights of homosexuals. Is not this what on which the reprimand. What I did not like is the excessive emphasis given to cultural work that we should do ourselves in society, without feeling sorry for himself. Well, no. We did not - in my opinion. The ladies ladies are handsomely paid to make laws, first of all. Well, they did. I'm not crazy, I do not take it with both of them, of course. But this is not good discharge of responsibilities. The laws - or lack of law - mean that the cultural gap in this country we can not fill. I
examples.
Today only 10% of those who suffer attacks homophobic reported the incident. Often you do not want parents or relatives know. 90% of parents are homophobic?
If you have not told the parents - and then creates a spiral of silence in gay men are the first to bear the brunt - primarily because he is afraid to make a big disappointment to the parents. Well, only the policy that legislates can change this state of affairs. Today I myself regret that my nephew was gay. I would be disappointed because I know a life that awaits him in height, an existence that is likely to suffer and feel bad just because of LOVE. My friend Daniel can not join up with her boyfriend because the law does not permit and should feel bad just because the AMA. This does not okay and this can be remedied only politics. The parents of a gay son who look to them with compassion to the fact that they think can not marry, can not adopt a child, will have a hard life. A life that existing legislation has made it harder than others.
The discourse on cultural contamination can be only one aspect of the matter. And unfortunately, when the secondary. Personally, I think I did a lot. In all areas in which I promise I never hid my homosexuality. In the early days our colleagues turned purple if they touched her bottom. Now they are joking with me and to have wiped out every kind of prejudice. They are to touch my butt. I call on everyone not to hide, invitation to the contamination positive culture. Now - maybe I want more good - a bit paradoxically have 'compassion. They know that I will not have their opportunities, that if my partner was not I would not have any kind of protection. They know that I can not convey what I have in a child. Yes, we agree, maybe I made them understand that it is not right.
Good. Today, if a parent, friend, if today you say "poor fellow, is gay," it is not our fault that we have not been able to do our duty. Dear ladies, the blame is all yours.
We must continue to cry on? Tell that to Daniel, Go and tell someone who does not enjoy the reversibility of board and remains in the middle of a road, Tell that to those who are ill and can not feel the closeness of the partner or the partner of the same sex, Tell that to those who can not take over a lease and is only the world.
Give me the same rights as everyone else. Then the cultural work - I swear - I am going to do body and soul.
