Religion, the Vatican, homosexuality and homophobia ...

Articolo di Sergio zanoletti
Tutti sono eguali dinanzi alla legge e hanno diritto, senza alcuna discriminazione, ad una eguale tutela da parte della legge. Tutti hanno diritto ad una eguale tutela contro ogni discriminazione che violi la presente Dichiarazione come contro qualsiasi incitamento a tale discriminazione.
(Art 7 – Dichiarazione universale dei diritti umani)


La notizia è nota: a nome dell’Unione Europea, la Francia ha presentato alle Nazioni Unite una proposta per promuovere una campagna mondiale per la depenalizzazione dell’omosessualità.
Iniziativa pregevole e necessaria se si pensa che nel mondo ci sono più di 80 stati nei quali l’omosessualità è ancora considerata un reato, punito con una multa, con il carcere, con i lavori forzati e addirittura con la pena di morte.

Tutto ciò nonostante, in teoria, gli omosessuali siano “protetti” dai trattati internazionali sui diritti umani, quali la Carta Internazionale dei Diritti Umani, il Patto Internazionale su Diritti Civili e Politici e il Patto Internazionale sui Diritti Economici, Sociali e Culturali, che mirano a garantire ad ogni persona gli stessi diritti indipendentemente dalle loro scelte politiche, religiose e sessuali.

Per meglio capire ciò di cui sto parlando, ecco un elenco, probabilmente parziale, degli stati in cui l’omosessualità è, a vario titolo, perseguita:

EUROPE Romania (rel. Orthodox 87% Roman Catholic 6%) In Romania, homosexual relations between adults were punished by imprisonment from one to five years' imprisonment (art. 200 par. 1 and 2 of the Criminal Code). The entry of Romania in the Council d'Europa, nell'ottobre 1993, è stato subordinato alla modifica di alcune norme di legge come l'art. 200 par. 1 e 2. Dopo tre anni il parlamento rumeno, ignorando i numerosi appelli dei paesi europei e di Amnesty International, ha approvato un nuovo art. 200 in cui dichiara l'omosessualità un "pubblico scandalo" e istituisce il reato di favoreggiamento ed istigazione all’omosessualità, anch’essi punibili con pene detentive da 1 a 5 anni. Doru Marian Beldie, di 19 anni, è stato arrestato a Bucharest il 16 giugno 1992 ed accusato di aver avuto rapporti omosessuali con un minore. Beldie è stato colpito alle mani e ai piedi per diverse ore; la polizia tentava di costringerlo a firmare una confessione. In seguito è stato condannato to 4 ½ years in prison. In detention he suffered repeated violence from other prisoners. Marcel Brosch, 20 years old Romanian student, was arrested in March 1992 in Tecuci while sleeping in a train station waiting to go home. Four policemen and a 17 year old boy approached him, woke up and accused of sexual assault on a minor. After having beaten with batons arrested him, was sentenced to five years in prison. In Romania, between 1993 and 1995, at least 11 people were arrested on charges of being homosexual. Amnesty International has documented 57 cases of people imprisoned under Article. 200 par. 1 and 2: They include Milorad and his companion were released in response to pressure from Amnesty International with huge problems of rehabilitation because the police had posted their pictures and their history. No one was more willing to offer them a job and Milorad, in despair, committed suicide in 1995 while his partner was granted political asylum.

U.S.A.Negli Stati Uniti una sentenza della Corte Suprema del 26 giugno 2003 ha reso incostituzionali le leggi contro la sodomia che erano ancora in vigore in diversi Stati dell'Unione. La sentenza fu emessa alla conclusione del ricorso presentato dal cittadino Lawrence contro lo Stato del Messico. Lawrence e il suo compagno erano stati arrestati e privati dei diritti civili in quanto sorpresi a consumare un rapporto sessuale nella propria abitazione. Riportiamo comunque la situazione legislativa negli Stati Uniti in vigore fino al 26 giugno 2003(vedi mappa a fianco)Ci sono 10 Stati che hanno leggi contro la sodomia che valgono sia per gli eterosessuali che per gli omosessuali:Alabama, Florida, Idaho, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi North Carolina, South Carolina, Utah, Virginia Ci sono poi 4 Stati con leggi contro la sodomia valide solo per gli omosessuali: Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, TexasPer completare l'informazione List some other states with the year they were abolished laws against sodomy: Illinois (1962) Connecticut (1971) Colorado (1972) Oregon (1972) Delaware (1973) Hawaii (1973) Ohio (1974) North Dakota (1975) New Hampshire (1975) New Mexico (1975) California (1976) Maine (1976) Washington (1976) West Virginia (1976) Indiana (1977) South Dakota (1977) Vermont (1977) Wyoming (1977) Nebraska (1978 ) Iowa (1978) New Jersey (1979) Alaska (1980) Wisconsin (1983) Nevada (1993) District of Columbia (1993) Rhode Island (1998) Arizona (2001)

As you can see it is not theoretical question concerning generic as despicable homophobic attitudes. This is a huge number of states that have transposed into their national legal specific laws against homosexuality, and punishing with severe penalties in seven states with the death!
surprising then that the Vatican has deployed against the request for decriminalization of homosexuality and even more surprised by the reasons with which it was based on that position, expressed in an interview by Archbishop Celestino Migliore, Observer of the Vatican at the UN ( The Vatican is in fact one of two states that did not join the United Nations)
"The Catechism of the Catholic Church, he says, not today, not against homosexual persons is should avoid any sign of unjust discrimination. But here, the question is `other. With a declared value policy, endorsed by a group of countries calling on States and international mechanisms for implementation and monitoring of human rights to add new categories protected from discrimination, without considering that, if adopted, they will create new and relentless discrimination . For example, states that do not recognize the union between same-sex "marriage" will be pilloried and made under pressure. "
not a little risky this statement? This says that groped to prevent a state to detain and kill the men guilty of loving same-sex would be going to the discrimination of those states that do not recognize same-sex unions. As if the two could be put on the same floor, first of all! And then what is the logical step? How to jail in preventing a gay discriminate against countries that do not allow gay marriage?

would be like saying that, for example, in the stand against the persecution of priests in some nations, it would trigger the mechanisms of discrimination against states which apply the principle of separation of church and state.

I think that faced with similar arguments as justification for disengagement in the fight against religious persecution, the Vatican would respond with strength and the highest level.

This position simply can not stand: logic but also lacks common sense, because it is intuitive to think that they are still in the position of having to fight to prevent it from being imprisoned or killed those who are not sexually standardized, it would be counterproductive to raise at least the level of requests to the recognition of equal rights between heterosexual and homosexual copies, because in this way, they feed fears homophobic, even in those sectors of public opinion that could recognize, but with difficulty, the injustice of criminalization of sexual choices ...

clarified this aspect can not be to renounce Better to point out that Monignor, in practice, said that is not appropriate to take action against sex discrimination because it could create a discrimination against those states that apply to discrimination on the basis of sexual behavior and choices!

E 'worth remembering that homosexuality is not only linked to sexuality.

And 'in fact a condition that directly affects the emotional sphere, although, from a scientific perspective, it has not yet reached its clear and unambiguous definition.

The scientific world recognizes, however, that one of the reasons that have so far prevented an exact definition of scientific Homosexuality lies in the lack of a minimum set of data that realizes the consent of the majority of researchers, and this is due to the injury, in some way influenced the research method and approach that seeks to to explain the existence of homosexuality, regardless of the question on the origins of heterosexuality, as is well explained on Wikipedia:

"too much of this research posits heterosexuality as a given fact that there is in and of itself , which needs no explanation, not an evolution, not a diachronic history but it is a given fixed, eternal, equal to sé stesso da tutti i secoli e nella vita di ogni singolo individuo. Il che equivale, dal punto di vista metodologico, a voler spiegare cosa sia il ghiaccio rifiutando di sapere cosa siano l'acqua o il vapore: un approccio scientifico che postulasse, a priori, che acqua e ghiaccio sono realtà diverse, non studiabili contemporaneamente, non otterrebbe in effetti "spiegazioni" più di quante ne abbia ottenute la ricerca sulle cause dell'omosessualità”

In ogni caso gli studi scientifici sono riusciti perlomeno ad escludere che l’omosessualità sia una malattia o un disturbo psichiatrico, come è stato definitivamente riconosciuto sia Dall’ American Psychiatric Association (APA) nel That by 1987 'World Health Organization in 1990, with the decision became official with the promulgation of the DSM IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) in 1994.

Finally the official position of the scientific world, both in the U.S. , and in other Western countries, including Italy, is that homosexuality is "a variant of human sexual behavior."
E 'then a state, a human condition that affects not only sexual behavior but also on affective.
It goes without saying then that does not recognize homosexual unions rights and protections similar to those granted to heterosexual marriages is a form of discrimination that severely restricts the individual rights of the person, establishing the legal differences that range from over-protection of the traditional family to the total lack of interest, when there is no explicit repression, with regard to the homosexual. With serious repercussions for the individual rights in the field of inheritance law, for example, pension, and in general can be represented in case of need from the person you love and with whom it was decided to divide his life.
Once recognized homosexuality as a variant of sexual behavior, and then as a condition of "innate", restrict the rights of homosexuals has the same value that restrict the rights of a person because he was born with blond hair in a company of Moors or vice versa!
course, the Church's position on the part of other conditions.
The thought of a religious nature in general does not recognize the issue of "causes" of homosexuality, if not as a moral issue.
religious thought, unless some distinctions, for example, in the Anglican church does not recognize homosexuality as a condition somehow "innate". Neglects her emotional side that is independent of sex or rather induces homosexual behavior as is the case with heterosexual behavior.
ignoring the scientific data on religious thought postula l’esistenza di una natura umana univoca e quindi ritiene che chi abbia comportamenti contrari a quelli stabiliti dalla natura, lo faccia per vizio o per scelta morale “contro natura”,
Da qui l’atteggiamento di molte chiese cristiane, convinte del fatto che con la volontà e la preghiera sia possibile "guarire" dall'omosessualità (una convinzione espressa in associazioni che sono la loro emanazione, come Exodus International , Courage , e Living Waters , quest'ultima operante anche in Italia),
A parte il fatto che questa posizione cozza in modo lampante con la constatazione che l’omosessualità non è una condizione esclusiva della razza human, but is fairly widespread in all animal species for which I think is not possible to attribute the ability of moral or ideological choices, I also recognize the church the right to express positions unscientific, denouncing it as a sin for others is not only legitimate but ethically necessary.
(for example, I order that the church use of condoms, although they are the only effective means to prevent sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS.)
said that, let also to religion, the churches and their Perhaps the faithful of the rules of social behavior consistent with their doctrines.
Let the Church continue to think that homosexuality is curable by prayer and abstinence, while not giving up, however, the right to criticize these positions, highlighting its contradictions and sometimes absurdities, such as the video of Severus and Ornella De Tommasi Zordo (heal you must: Church and Homosexuality) censored by You Tube but transmitted by Arcoiris TV ( http://www.arcoiris.tv/modules.php?name=Flash&d_op=getit&id=10999 )
Let the Church lpropagandi his positions, even when these positions hinder the solution of serious problems such as AIDS, but rifiutiamoci to passively accept the claim that these positions are fair because only expressed by a religion and a Church whatever it is.
Rifiutiamoci to passively accept that individual choice will not harm others, can pass from the sphere of ethics and morality to that of criminal law, law enforcement and social discrimination!
and denounce the hypocrisy and bad faith when they are as evident as in the case of the statement of Archbishop Celestino Migliore, which on the one hand recognizes that homosexuals are subjected to unfair discrimination, forgetting, however, that such discrimination also stem from the positions of almost all faiths who insist on considering homosexuality a vice, a deviation from the common morality that must be fought even accepting, as a lesser evil, which a gay man can be jailed and killed, while not running the risk of recognizing those rights that only the ideological intolerance can get to deny.
Homosexuals are a minority discriminated against because the dominant system is not uniform and nonuniform because their diversity is born of a choice but a condition.
Despite the efforts will not be possible to eliminate this "problem", if not eliminating homosexuals. But this physical removal, although not systematic can have no end, because the homosexual is the result of heterosexual union. And 'one of the options of nature. It must, sooner or later, take note ...
Although this may not appeal, even if it disturbs the so-called normal, let's not forget that by accepting the logic of repression of diversity, there will always be someone more equal than others who will have the opportunity to lash out at each new variety, whatever it is.

First they came for the gypsies, and I was happy because pilfered.
Then they came for the Jews and I said nothing because I was unsympathetic.
Then they came for the homosexuals and I was relieved because I was annoying.
Then they came for the Communists and I did not say anything because it does I was a communist.
One day they came for me and there was no one left who could protest.

Articolo di Sergio zanoletti
Tutti sono eguali dinanzi alla legge e hanno diritto, senza alcuna discriminazione, ad una eguale tutela da parte della legge. Tutti hanno diritto ad una eguale tutela contro ogni discriminazione che violi la presente Dichiarazione come contro qualsiasi incitamento a tale discriminazione.
(Art 7 – Dichiarazione universale dei diritti umani)


La notizia è nota: a nome dell’Unione Europea, la Francia ha presentato alle Nazioni Unite una proposta per promuovere una campagna mondiale per la depenalizzazione dell’omosessualità.
Iniziativa pregevole e necessaria se si pensa che nel mondo ci sono più di 80 stati nei quali l’omosessualità è ancora considerata un reato, punito con una multa, con il carcere, con i lavori forzati e addirittura con la pena di morte.

Tutto ciò nonostante, in teoria, gli omosessuali siano “protetti” dai trattati internazionali sui diritti umani, quali la Carta Internazionale dei Diritti Umani, il Patto Internazionale su Diritti Civili e Politici e il Patto Internazionale sui Diritti Economici, Sociali e Culturali, che mirano a garantire ad ogni persona gli stessi diritti indipendentemente dalle loro scelte politiche, religiose e sessuali.

Per meglio capire ciò di cui sto parlando, ecco un elenco, probabilmente parziale, degli stati in cui l’omosessualità è, a vario titolo, perseguita:

EUROPE Romania (rel. Orthodox 87% Roman Catholic 6%) In Romania, homosexual relations between adults were punished by imprisonment from one to five years' imprisonment (art. 200 par. 1 and 2 of the Criminal Code). The entry of Romania in the Council d'Europa, nell'ottobre 1993, è stato subordinato alla modifica di alcune norme di legge come l'art. 200 par. 1 e 2. Dopo tre anni il parlamento rumeno, ignorando i numerosi appelli dei paesi europei e di Amnesty International, ha approvato un nuovo art. 200 in cui dichiara l'omosessualità un "pubblico scandalo" e istituisce il reato di favoreggiamento ed istigazione all’omosessualità, anch’essi punibili con pene detentive da 1 a 5 anni. Doru Marian Beldie, di 19 anni, è stato arrestato a Bucharest il 16 giugno 1992 ed accusato di aver avuto rapporti omosessuali con un minore. Beldie è stato colpito alle mani e ai piedi per diverse ore; la polizia tentava di costringerlo a firmare una confessione. In seguito è stato condannato to 4 ½ years in prison. In detention he suffered repeated violence from other prisoners. Marcel Brosch, 20 years old Romanian student, was arrested in March 1992 in Tecuci while sleeping in a train station waiting to go home. Four policemen and a 17 year old boy approached him, woke up and accused of sexual assault on a minor. After having beaten with batons arrested him, was sentenced to five years in prison. In Romania, between 1993 and 1995, at least 11 people were arrested on charges of being homosexual. Amnesty International has documented 57 cases of people imprisoned under Article. 200 par. 1 and 2: They include Milorad and his companion were released in response to pressure from Amnesty International with huge problems of rehabilitation because the police had posted their pictures and their history. No one was more willing to offer them a job and Milorad, in despair, committed suicide in 1995 while his partner was granted political asylum.

His headless body (bearing signs of torture) was found two days later in a landfill. Usually those who are engaged in defending the rights of homosexuals is targeted by the police after the murder of José dos Santos Renildo the only journalist Reinaldo Cabral, who had the courage to Palare murder and police violence, threats received by telephone, April 3, 1994 two armed men entered his house and threatened with a gun and setting fire to their car.

Giamaica (America Centrale - rel. protestante 39% cattolica 10%)c.p. art. 76 ... reclusione e lavori forzati fino a 10 anni Dalla Giamaica pervengono ripetute segnalazioni di violenze nei confronti di omosessuali commesse sia dalla polizia sia da semplici cittadini. Nel gennaio 2002 il governo ha rifiutato di abrogare la legislazione che considera illegali i rapporti sessuali in privato tra uomini adulti consenzienti. A ottobre il Regno Unito ha concesso lo status di rifugiato a un omosessuale con la motivazione secondo cui l'omofobia è così grave in Giamaica da costituire una seria minaccia per la sicurezza personale.Grenada (America Centrale - Rel.

U.S.A.Negli Stati Uniti una sentenza della Corte Suprema del 26 giugno 2003 ha reso incostituzionali le leggi contro la sodomia che erano ancora in vigore in diversi Stati dell'Unione. La sentenza fu emessa alla conclusione del ricorso presentato dal cittadino Lawrence contro lo Stato del Messico. Lawrence e il suo compagno erano stati arrestati e privati dei diritti civili in quanto sorpresi a consumare un rapporto sessuale nella propria abitazione. Riportiamo comunque la situazione legislativa negli Stati Uniti in vigore fino al 26 giugno 2003(vedi mappa a fianco)Ci sono 10 Stati che hanno leggi contro la sodomia che valgono sia per gli eterosessuali che per gli omosessuali:Alabama, Florida, Idaho, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi North Carolina, South Carolina, Utah, Virginia Ci sono poi 4 Stati con leggi contro la sodomia valide solo per gli omosessuali: Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, TexasPer completare l'informazione List some other states with the year they were abolished laws against sodomy: Illinois (1962) Connecticut (1971) Colorado (1972) Oregon (1972) Delaware (1973) Hawaii (1973) Ohio (1974) North Dakota (1975) New Hampshire (1975) New Mexico (1975) California (1976) Maine (1976) Washington (1976) West Virginia (1976) Indiana (1977) South Dakota (1977) Vermont (1977) Wyoming (1977) Nebraska (1978 ) Iowa (1978) New Jersey (1979) Alaska (1980) Wisconsin (1983) Nevada (1993) District of Columbia (1993) Rhode Island (1998) Arizona (2001)

As you can see it is not theoretical question concerning generic as despicable homophobic attitudes. This is a huge number of states that have transposed into their national legal specific laws against homosexuality, and punishing with severe penalties in seven states with the death!
surprising then that the Vatican has deployed against the request for decriminalization of homosexuality and even more surprised by the reasons with which it was based on that position, expressed in an interview by Archbishop Celestino Migliore, Observer of the Vatican at the UN ( The Vatican is in fact one of two states that did not join the United Nations)
"The Catechism of the Catholic Church, he says, not today, not against homosexual persons is should avoid any sign of unjust discrimination. But here, the question is `other. With a declared value policy, endorsed by a group of countries calling on States and international mechanisms for implementation and monitoring of human rights to add new categories protected from discrimination, without considering that, if adopted, they will create new and relentless discrimination . For example, states that do not recognize the union between same-sex "marriage" will be pilloried and made under pressure. "
not a little risky this statement? This says that groped to prevent a state to detain and kill the men guilty of loving same-sex would be going to the discrimination of those states that do not recognize same-sex unions. As if the two could be put on the same floor, first of all! And then what is the logical step? How to jail in preventing a gay discriminate against countries that do not allow gay marriage?

would be like saying that, for example, in the stand against the persecution of priests in some nations, it would trigger the mechanisms of discrimination against states which apply the principle of separation of church and state.

I think that faced with similar arguments as justification for disengagement in the fight against religious persecution, the Vatican would respond with strength and the highest level.

This position simply can not stand: logic but also lacks common sense, because it is intuitive to think that they are still in the position of having to fight to prevent it from being imprisoned or killed those who are not sexually standardized, it would be counterproductive to raise at least the level of requests to the recognition of equal rights between heterosexual and homosexual copies, because in this way, they feed fears homophobic, even in those sectors of public opinion that could recognize, but with difficulty, the injustice of criminalization of sexual choices ...

clarified this aspect can not be to renounce Better to point out that Monignor, in practice, said that is not appropriate to take action against sex discrimination because it could create a discrimination against those states that apply to discrimination on the basis of sexual behavior and choices!

E 'worth remembering that homosexuality is not only linked to sexuality.

And 'in fact a condition that directly affects the emotional sphere, although, from a scientific perspective, it has not yet reached its clear and unambiguous definition.

The scientific world recognizes, however, that one of the reasons that have so far prevented an exact definition of scientific Homosexuality lies in the lack of a minimum set of data that realizes the consent of the majority of researchers, and this is due to the injury, in some way influenced the research method and approach that seeks to to explain the existence of homosexuality, regardless of the question on the origins of heterosexuality, as is well explained on Wikipedia:

"too much of this research posits heterosexuality as a given fact that there is in and of itself , which needs no explanation, not an evolution, not a diachronic history but it is a given fixed, eternal, equal to sé stesso da tutti i secoli e nella vita di ogni singolo individuo. Il che equivale, dal punto di vista metodologico, a voler spiegare cosa sia il ghiaccio rifiutando di sapere cosa siano l'acqua o il vapore: un approccio scientifico che postulasse, a priori, che acqua e ghiaccio sono realtà diverse, non studiabili contemporaneamente, non otterrebbe in effetti "spiegazioni" più di quante ne abbia ottenute la ricerca sulle cause dell'omosessualità”

In ogni caso gli studi scientifici sono riusciti perlomeno ad escludere che l’omosessualità sia una malattia o un disturbo psichiatrico, come è stato definitivamente riconosciuto sia Dall’ American Psychiatric Association (APA) nel That by 1987 'World Health Organization in 1990, with the decision became official with the promulgation of the DSM IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) in 1994.

Finally the official position of the scientific world, both in the U.S. , and in other Western countries, including Italy, is that homosexuality is "a variant of human sexual behavior."
E 'then a state, a human condition that affects not only sexual behavior but also on affective.
It goes without saying then that does not recognize homosexual unions rights and protections similar to those granted to heterosexual marriages is a form of discrimination that severely restricts the individual rights of the person, establishing the legal differences that range from over-protection of the traditional family to the total lack of interest, when there is no explicit repression, with regard to the homosexual. With serious repercussions for the individual rights in the field of inheritance law, for example, pension, and in general can be represented in case of need from the person you love and with whom it was decided to divide his life.
Once recognized homosexuality as a variant of sexual behavior, and then as a condition of "innate", restrict the rights of homosexuals has the same value that restrict the rights of a person because he was born with blond hair in a company of Moors or vice versa!
course, the Church's position on the part of other conditions.
The thought of a religious nature in general does not recognize the issue of "causes" of homosexuality, if not as a moral issue.
religious thought, unless some distinctions, for example, in the Anglican church does not recognize homosexuality as a condition somehow "innate". Neglects her emotional side that is independent of sex or rather induces homosexual behavior as is the case with heterosexual behavior.
ignoring the scientific data on religious thought postula l’esistenza di una natura umana univoca e quindi ritiene che chi abbia comportamenti contrari a quelli stabiliti dalla natura, lo faccia per vizio o per scelta morale “contro natura”,
Da qui l’atteggiamento di molte chiese cristiane, convinte del fatto che con la volontà e la preghiera sia possibile "guarire" dall'omosessualità (una convinzione espressa in associazioni che sono la loro emanazione, come Exodus International , Courage , e Living Waters , quest'ultima operante anche in Italia),
A parte il fatto che questa posizione cozza in modo lampante con la constatazione che l’omosessualità non è una condizione esclusiva della razza human, but is fairly widespread in all animal species for which I think is not possible to attribute the ability of moral or ideological choices, I also recognize the church the right to express positions unscientific, denouncing it as a sin for others is not only legitimate but ethically necessary.
(for example, I order that the church use of condoms, although they are the only effective means to prevent sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS.)
said that, let also to religion, the churches and their Perhaps the faithful of the rules of social behavior consistent with their doctrines.
Let the Church continue to think that homosexuality is curable by prayer and abstinence, while not giving up, however, the right to criticize these positions, highlighting its contradictions and sometimes absurdities, such as the video of Severus and Ornella De Tommasi Zordo (heal you must: Church and Homosexuality) censored by You Tube but transmitted by Arcoiris TV ( http://www.arcoiris.tv/modules.php?name=Flash&d_op=getit&id=10999 )
Let the Church lpropagandi his positions, even when these positions hinder the solution of serious problems such as AIDS, but rifiutiamoci to passively accept the claim that these positions are fair because only expressed by a religion and a Church whatever it is.
Rifiutiamoci to passively accept that individual choice will not harm others, can pass from the sphere of ethics and morality to that of criminal law, law enforcement and social discrimination!
and denounce the hypocrisy and bad faith when they are as evident as in the case of the statement of Archbishop Celestino Migliore, which on the one hand recognizes that homosexuals are subjected to unfair discrimination, forgetting, however, that such discrimination also stem from the positions of almost all faiths who insist on considering homosexuality a vice, a deviation from the common morality that must be fought even accepting, as a lesser evil, which a gay man can be jailed and killed, while not running the risk of recognizing those rights that only the ideological intolerance can get to deny.
Homosexuals are a minority discriminated against because the dominant system is not uniform and nonuniform because their diversity is born of a choice but a condition.
Despite the efforts will not be possible to eliminate this "problem", if not eliminating homosexuals. But this physical removal, although not systematic can have no end, because the homosexual is the result of heterosexual union. And 'one of the options of nature. It must, sooner or later, take note ...
Although this may not appeal, even if it disturbs the so-called normal, let's not forget that by accepting the logic of repression of diversity, there will always be someone more equal than others who will have the opportunity to lash out at each new variety, whatever it is.

First they came for the gypsies, and I was happy because pilfered.
Then they came for the Jews and I said nothing because I was unsympathetic.
Then they came for the homosexuals and I was relieved because I was annoying.
Then they came for the Communists and I did not say anything because it does I was a communist.
One day they came for me and there was no one left who could protest.

Martin Niemöller (1892-1984)

Yellow And Blue Rooms

UPLOAD



I love the banality of the events.


Christmas coming,

tavor consumption increases,

taxes,

the thirteenth (ire Cape)

the foil chocolate launched automatically without even deciding what to ask in return,

holiday menu,

the terror of the scale,

nostalgia for distant friends, friends recall

suspended to avoid prescription

fatally.


I reassured the banality of the events

as customers who make the discount for themselves, the little intricacies of the people with whom he shares the life, misery of certain findings before which do not face more surprised but shrug and smile. I'm betting on the outcome so obvious that you will win very little.


I also do not have anything special.

My vanity makes me tremble for calls at night.

Walking on roads that are already familiar with the soles of my Stuart Weitzman, but the older collections. Sitting in the coffee which upholstery already know by heart. Only my thoughts to jump out of your head that would be like swords unsheathed.


I'm nothing special.

Over time, however, I took dangerous act of my human and I'm careful.

I thought it was my duty as an adult caution.


But apparently, not all have the same opinion.

So there was half the reputation of a lot of people

And so at last even President Bush admits that weapons of mass destruction to Saddam, those which had justified the military intervention in Iraq, never existed.
This singular statement:
"A lot of people had staked their reputation, saying that weapons of mass destruction were a reason to remove Saddam Hussein."
As has been reported, This confession would suggest to rethink the efficacy of a war to solve a serious problem which could be the possession of weapons of mass destruction by a dictator ...
probably meant, however, that the existence of these spectral weapons was somehow guaranteed by "a lot of people" who had staked their reputations!
Ah! And the evidence?
He had said that there was evidence of the existence of these weapons? The satellite photographs of the deposits, and so on?
No, there was no evidence for a long time and now you know.
What is not known who was involved the reputation of chi si diceva convinto della loro esistenza, e ciò è bastato.
E’ bastato per mentire al mondo intero, tanto per cominciare.
E grazie a queste menzogne( ma forse sarebbe più corretto parlare di scuse, alibi inventati ad hoc!) si è trascinato il mondo intero in una guerra che non ha sconfitto il terrorismo ma ha causato,ssecondo quanto pubblicato dal New England Journal of Medicine, 151.000 morti nella popolazione civile ( fino a Giugno 2006!) che salgono a 655.000 considerando anche le cause indirette di morte ( fonte: Studio dell’Università americana John Hopkins, pubblicato dalla rivista britannica The Lancet).
E se nell’attentato dell’ undici settembre sono morte 2973 persone, nella guerra in Iraq, sino al gennaio 2007, sono caduti 2982 militari statunitensi! ( fonte: globalsecutity.org )
Non ci sono invece dati certi sui morti tra i soldati iracheni.
Di sicuro però si sa che:
2,4 milioni di persone sono sfollate dalle proprie abitazioni e altre 2 milioni rifugiate fuori dall’Iraq.
4 milioni di iracheni dipendono da aiuti alimentari.
Soltanto uno su tre bambini iracheni ha accesso ad acqua potabile e uno su quattro è malnutrito.
Dal marzo 2003, 94 operatori umanitari sono stati uccisi, 248 feriti, 24 arrestati e 89 sequestrati.
(fonte: peace reporter)

Cifre impressionanti vero?
Non però per il generale americano Tommy Franks, che said "we do not do body counts" ("we do not count the dead")
Then, perhaps, have at least some use the money invested to cause these deaths:
difficult to get exact figures. According to some studies the U.S. government $ 800 billion will be spent in the war in Iraq and Afghanistan just before Bush goes out of the White House!
Professor Linda J. Bilmes (Harvard University) and Professor Joseph Stglitz (Columbia University) have also calculated that the total cost, namely that including future costs as a direct consequence of the conflict (medical costs for veterans, interest on the debt needed to raise the money, etc.) will be 3,000 billion dollars. Estimate that assumes that after the election of November, U.S. troops begin to return home.

figures are so huge that it's really difficult to perceive the exact amount. Let's imagine, then, that with $ 200 billion (annual cost of the war in Iraq) could eliminate extreme poverty from the world (135 billion).
The rest of the annual budget could be used to eradicate illiteracy from the world, providing money to developing countries and fighting AIDS (22 billion).
Or even that the cost to the health program to cover Hillary Clinton's 47 million Americans who currently have to do without them would be 100 billion. What Obama, less inclusivo, si aggira sui 60 miliardi.
E questo senza voler parlare della catastrofe causata della crisi economica che necessiterebbe di muovere risorse tra i 500 e i 700 miliardi di dollari per essere affrontata con qualche probabilità di successo…

Incredibile, vero?
Eppure questi non sono discorsi nuovi. Erano tra gli argomenti, unitamente a quelli legati all’inutilità della guerra come strumento per risolvere le controversi internazionali, che venivano fatti e a gran voce da coloro che si opponevano all’invasione dell’Iraq.
Non si volle ascoltarli.
Sembrava anzi che il solo mettere in dubbio l’esistenza delle armi di distruzione di massa fosse come dichiarare la propria complicità
with Islamic terrorism ... No one knew then that the most powerful man in the world could not give credit to the reputation of that "lot of people" which had decided to surround himself.
No one knew then that those people had staked their reputations in the world swear that Saddam Hussein was an enemy to be killed at all costs.

When marching

many do not know who the enemy marching at their head.

The voice that commands them

is the voice of the enemy. And who speaks



the enemy is the enemy himself.
(B. Brecht)
