Brazil to officially sponsor Homosexual Conference

Brazils' government has taken an active and official stance of seeking to change Brazilian law to promote the activist homosexual agenda.

BRASILIA (Catholic Online) - The President of Brazil Luiz Lula will officially convene "The First National Conference of Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals, Transvestites and Transsexuals."

The conference is a first in the history of that Nation. It will take place on May 8-11, 2008. It is officially endorsed by the Special Secretariat for Human Rights.

The President noted that the conference would be sponsored, "under the auspices of the Special Secretary of Human Rights of the Presidency of the Republic, with the objectives of

1. Proposing the directives for the implementation of public policies and the national plan for promoting the citizenship and human rights of Gays, Bisexuals, Transvestites and Transsexuals - GBLT, and

2. Evaluate and propose strategies to strengthen the program Brazil Without Homophobia."

His administration has launched "Brazil without Homophobia", a National educational initiative which teaches that homosexual orientation cannot be changed and seeks to positively affirm the practice. His policy efforts seek to give homosexual partnerships equivalency with marriage under Brazilian law.

Zenit News Agency, a trusted source for Catholic reporting, noted earlier this year of further efforts to pass so called "...'homophobia' legislation, which seeks to criminalize anything considered a condemnation of homosexuality, including priests who speak against the practice in homilies."

In its reporting, Zenit included a comment from Maria das Dores Dolly Guimarăes, lawyer and president of the Paulist Federation of Movements in Defense of Life, who noted that under such legislation: "Whoever dared to criticize such behavior would be treated as a delinquent."

The organizer of the upcoming convocation, Julian Rodrigues, is a spokesman for homosexual activist groups in that Nation. He openly acknowledges that the conference is intended to promote the activist homosexual agenda throughout Brazil.

In commenting on the upcoming conference he noted:

"There are countries with more advanced legislation and policies, but this will be the first time that a federal government convokes a complete conference, with the participation of the majority of the organized movement, to define a national plan of public policies for almost 10% of the population, historically relegated to prejudice and discrimination...The first Conference is now created, and there is no turning back."

He added, " We are going to pull up our sleeves and construct it in all of the states (of Brazil), mobilizing the greatest number possible of members of our community, discussing rights and affirmative public policies."
