Ce 15 juillet, we Argentines Sénat, après absolutely democratic debate where each senator defended his own beliefs more than the instructions of his party, passed a law allowing all couples, regardless of gender or sexual orientation, to marry and adopt children and inherit the death of one spouse. come to mind these words of light from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: " All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights . A major step has been taken in this direction.
And a huge victory for those we hoped for never see her alive. Utopia come true. A glimmer of hope. Hopefully after all the turmoil it has produced in society, this law will eventually enter egalitarian mores as was the case some 20 years ago, for the law of divorce. Remember the verbal excesses that fought in that time members of the Catholic hierarchy, their threats of hell and Apocalypse. What about today? Divorce is no longer a dirty word in the mouths of everyone.
As for the Catholic bishops, evangelists, pastors, who treated this bill out of Malin who organized demonstrations in defense of their idea of family, we say: "What they mingle? This is civil law, marriage in a country where religion is separated from the State .
The Catholic church, willing accomplice, but a few brave exceptions, the military dictatorship in the most abject and most bloody knew that Argentina should first recognize his faults, his sins if you will, before claiming judge those who do not share his convictions. Similarly
this judge (justice of peace, it must be said) who, arguing his evangelical religion, said she would never marry a homosexual couple. Madame Justice, you are there to enforce the law, civil law, not the dictates of your religion. You should resign and become a pastor.
This, however, should not surprise us. How many judges in recent times, have prevented the realization of an abortion under the pretext of religious beliefs also, when these abortions, pregnancy due to rape or endangering the life of the pregnant woman, were permitted by Argentine law?
In contrast, President Cristina Kirchner, who has just promulgated the law on 21 July, this as a victory for his government. Very possible. But how can we believe an administration whose specialty is the procrastination of reality. All you need is a regular shopping to find that the rate of inflation that we moved the INDEC (National Institute of Statistics) is far from true.
A government also refuses to accept the existence of a deep crisis in the energy field. And who, driven by a dozen dead with cold, now focuses only on price, unaffordable for the poor, gas canisters.
If a large segment of the population has no access on fundamental rights, the rights to equal education, decent housing, to adequate food, equality of opportunity is a sham and we are still a long way, not only in Argentina, before full bloom principles which guided him in 1789, the drafters of the first human rights and in 1948, those of the Universal Declaration.
Still we need to celebrate with great joy a law that ignores the hypocrisy and discrimination putting on the same equal footing, in view of the union and the family, all the inhabitants of the country without exclusion.
This July 15, the Argentine Senate, after an absolutely democratic debate in which each senator defended his own convictions rather than the policies of his party, passed a law allowing all couples, regardless account of gender or sexual orientation, marriage and adoption and inheritance on the death of one of the two spouses. I come to mind these words light of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights." A huge step just taken in this regard.
And a huge victory for those one does not expect to see in life. A Utopia is performed. A glimmer of hope. Hopefully after all the earthquakes that occurred in society, this law ends up joining egalitarian mores as was the case 20 years ago to divorce law. Remember the verbal excesses that were waged at that time members of the Catholic hierarchy, its threats of hell and the apocalypse. What happens now? Divorce is no longer a dirty word on everyone's lips.
As Catholic bishops, evangelists, pastors who tried this project of law as the work of evil, which organized demonstrations in defense of his idea of the family, one ponders, "What do they get? It is civil law civil marriage in a country where religion is separated from the state. "
The Catholic Church complicit voluntary unless some brave exceptions, the military dictatorship and bloody abject know Argentina, should first acknowledge his faults, his sins if you will, before trying to judge those who do not share their convictions.
Same for the judge (Justice of the Peace, must be said) that, under the pretext of religion evangelical, said he will never accept to marry a gay couple. Judge, you must enforce the law, civil law, not the tenets of their religion. Should resign and be a pastor.
This, But no wonder. How many judges in recent times, have prevented an interruption of pregnancy, also under the pretext of religious convictions, when such abortions, pregnancy due to rape or endangers the life of the pregnant woman, were permitted by law in Argentina.
On the sidewalk in front, President Cristina Kirchner, who has just enacted the law this July 21, presents it as a victory for his government. Maybe. But how to believe an administration whose specialty is the misrepresentation of reality. Enough to have made purchases on a regular basis to know that the rate of inflation which we propose the INDEC is far from the truth.
A government also refuses to accept the existence of a deep crisis in regard to energy. And, driven by a dozen die from cold, deals only with the price now, unaffordable for the poor, gas cylinders.
If a vast layer of the population has no access to fundamental rights, the rights to equal education, to decent housing, proper nutrition, equality of opportunity is a lie and is still a long way, and not only in Argentina, before seeing the guiding principles to flourish in 1789, the drafters of the first human rights and, in 1948, the Universal Declaration.
This does not make that we should not celebrate with great joy a law that leaves aside the hypocrisy and discrimination setting on the same equal plane, in the context of marriage and family, everyone in the country without exception.
