We will never Pacs?

In late October, the Italy of Values \u200b\u200bhas launched a kind of civil rights offensive, which is also a challenge to the allies of the Democratic Party, likely in the future as the UDC and that part of the same PD (as IDV, Antonio di Pietro admits) that "it is not yet ripe" to address certain issues. Among the proposals, the party of former magistrate of clean hands that also resurrects a law against homophobia and civil unions, not only for heterosexual couples, who had already attempted to tackle in the last parliament, but on the other hand does not cover 'adoption by homosexual couples.

While Mara Carfagna, Minister of Equal Opportunities, officially announced his resignation to the party infighting, resignations, which are in any case which seem appropriate given that the former show girl is one of the ministers most useless and inconclusive in this Government, Di Pietro explains that this is the right time for this proposal (presented with a press conference in the House a few days ago) "because, as soon as you exceed the hypocrisy of the Berlusconi family concept, the political forces that will ask voters to give them confidence must present a serious and concrete program, and "now because we say it will serve to not fall into the usual post-election confusion, when the political forces in an alliance without first agreeing on things to achieve for the country and then, after the vote, they find themselves fighting on the crucial issues. " remains the doubt that such a proposal when we in fact during the election campaign could instead push the parties in perpetual hunt for the Catholic vote to take a solemn pledge to the contrary to the proposal on civil unions, but on balance we will see who will have been right.

years that I'm actually talking about draft laws on civil unions, often imaginatively dubbed (I say, Cus, DiDoRe ...) but always buried even before they begin to discuss, yet in this area 's Italy is absolutely behind the majority of the countries of Western Europe and other advanced nations outside the continent, when in fact there would be no need because the 'form' of the family is constantly changing and evolving, not is only the traditional (and exclusively heterosexual) and strongly supported exclusively by political parties, with few exceptions, and the Church, there are millions of individuals in couples and families outside of the canon that currently have almost no protection which is not a private document, when you decide to make, easy to handle by the relatives of either family of partners in case of conflicts or disagreements between the parties, especially with regard to the survivor's pension, inheritance and the recognition of / living together as a family in the sad circumstances, but always as a possible assistance to the hospital. A condition that demeans and often sorely hurt the depth of relationships sometimes laboriously constructed because of the backwardness of this country's culture. Hence the need to explain and reassure the most conservative of the public, as it does when Franco Grillini that says that on Pacs "is a law that does not impose anything on anyone, and 'a contract and who wants the signs . Recognizing the rights to some and not 'a threat to the rights of others. "

Until now, some local institutions have sought to address this lack with the establishment of registers of the partners with municipalities and municipalities, continues to dominate the attitude of those who hide behind the absence of a single law (Despite the many European and national decisions, the latter of which comes from the Constitutional Court in April, pushing in this direction) to avoid launching initiatives should also be well within their competence, as administrators a diverse audience of citizens, not all of 'lying' on Catholic morality. So we will see what will this bill also, but it seems even now to watch the trailer for a film already seen.

Fiat lux versus Big Bang Five

The Large Hadron Collider in Geneva have recreated the primordial conditions of matter, ie the highest temperatures were reached, the order of trillions of degrees, as is supposed to be a split second after the Big Bang, when the components of subatomic particles (quarks and gluons) were free and formed a sort of hot plasma. Observers in the Roque de los Muchachos in the Canary Islands and the Hobby-Eberly Telescope in Texas, has begun analyzing the data that have allowed us to confirm the theory that complex organic molecules (including some carbon compounds such as anthracene and fullerene ), which are the basis of life, are not only the heavenly bodies like planets and asteroids, but also in interstellar space, after being expelled from the outer layers of stars in the expansion phase, throughout the universe known. Finally, at CERN in Geneva was isolated antimatter, theorized in the twenties and now finally established.

As you follow these findings as important and that scientific theories are confirmed experimentally, the intervention of a creator god, and then the very existence of a god, is moved further and further behind over time when creationists less reactionary and obscurantist put it, accepting the fact his teeth, just before the Big Bang, identifying the latter event with the biblical "fiat lux", having had to admit - in the person of the Director of the Vatican Observatory - even the possibility that universe there are other intelligent species. This will be demonstrated at least until the cyclical nature of the universe (big bang - the expansion - contraction - big crunch and off again) or that Stephen Hawking is right in his Grand design (on the mechanism of spontaneous creation), then who knows where to put the poor god . Other creationists (to understand, such as those in America explain the morphology of the Grand Canyon with the move - physical, material - to god in that place) but are still in the trenches, and claim to scientifically interpret the sacred texts and to impose the 'teaching creationist theories in schools.

This is just to wait, then inevitably you must surrender and you will get the solution that will perhaps save the world: humanity enter the library, take the holy books and finally pull them down from the shelf of history to put them in the most appropriate: literature of fantasy.

clichés about gay men and an appeal to Tremonti

Because every time you talk about gay people is unleashed debate based on the usual cliches and prejudices, we try to do some 'clarity, hoping to be helpful who now form his own thought listening to a single bell. Summing up as much as possible for reasons of space, but inviting the reader to further investigate without prejudice.

1 "homosexuality is unnatural"

people who make this objection should be asked: What is nature? What is natural and what is not? Everything that exists is' natural 'for the very fact of existence, then so is homosexuality, emotional and sexual orientation variant, which also manifests itself-has been shown in numerous animal species-and not only in ' man, not to mention hermaphroditism of some animal species (and plants) that we do, we will represent "unnatural", even the animal kingdom? It 'should also be noted that this is a minority phenomenon, but that has always existed (and will always exist), so even the common objection that says: "If we were all gay man would become extinct," it just sounds paradoxical and out place: we are not all gay, do not we have never been and never will, otherwise we should be extinct long ago.
In fact, this objection is based simply on the morale of some religions (before you say that their homosexuality was not "against nature"), moral in turn based on certain interpretations of certain passages of sacred texts on s never been such a unique feeling even within the same Catholic Church (of which we are concerned because we are in Italy, but the discussion should be extended to all the monotheistic religions), but do be careful, because morality changes over time and with the needs, and knows precisely the fact that for centuries the Church has corrected some of his positions that were virtually dogmas, and in some cases has even asked excuse: so today's Jews are not as "evil and God-killers "The whites are no longer superior to blacks (and slavery is no longer allowed), the women finally have the 'soul the limbo no more and so on. Of course, we could wait for a Pope also admits this mistake, and sooner or later it will happen for sure, but in the meantime the pain caused unjust will have these positions?

2 "homosexuality is a choice"

Consequently, even this is not true: if the affective orientation, even before the sexual inclination is a natural and spontaneous, the only "choice" possible, rather , if you go along and live openly, defying social conventions and cultural need, and the hostility of power, or even if it hide-and-a lifetime to give in to this particular version of Stockholm syndrome fear or laziness, lack of information or the illusion of serenity.

3 "homosexuals are restricted"

Given that Mussolini's fascism is dead and buried, and then you no longer have a moral obligation to 'give the children to the homeland', is all too easy to point out that there are also many infertile heterosexual couples who, for consistency, should be considered "unnatural" just like the man. This is because the objection considers procreation only within a sexual relationship between two people who have signed a 'contract' (religious marriage), considered as the only reason to create the pair itself. And even earlier, and more often than not, those who make these objections reduces sexuality-one of the highest levels of communication between human beings-to a mere matter of anatomy and "joints" (concave-convex), we must respond to them with a crude but essential question: the 'love heterosexual vaginal intercourse is exhausted? It 's all there?
Even with all this evidence is a cultural heritage already exceeded in practice for heterosexual couples, for which they are admitted by the religions, with some distinctions, artificial insemination and adoption. Luckily, it is no longer allowed him strupr followed by the seizure of the unborn or incest (see the events narrated in the ancient patriarchs will) ...

4 "a child needs a father and a mother"

This statement also comes from immobility of our cultural tradition, a phenomenon that occurs only in European-or: in this measurement in those countries where the Catholicism is strongest. It may seem trivial, but what really counts in the development of an individual is the quality of affection and emotional support and education that the subject perceives by the familiar figures of reference. There are numerous studies conducted in countries where the adoption by homosexual couples are allowed to confirm that the development of children in these areas is quite comparable to that which occurs in heterosexual families.
The inclusion in society after leaving the protective shell of the family in this respect is obvious that in liberal societies and without prejudices about homosexuality this entry will be no particular difficulty, as opposed to society too tied to the Catholic faith traditions ( Specifically, because the Reformed and Protestant Christian churches are not produced in the kind of constraints on companies in which they are posted) and if "the company is not ready" to same-sex parenting as she feels too often say, it is also because society does not begin to ever 'Prepare'.
Another common objection is that the desire for parenthood by gay people would just "selfishness", well, feeling that this place belongs to a large number of people irrespective of their emotions / sexuality, it is well to note that no can afford to judge from the outside what happens in people's heads.
it must be stressed, finally, not to want to bury our heads in the sand will have to admit that homosexual families are in fact already exist, and are those whose children were born from previous reports and are included in the new reality of a family of the two parents, and of course all those unmarried couples ever seen statistics and relevant institutions.

5 "homosexuality is a threat to society"

In full: legalize gay marriages would be a danger to the families 'natural' and therefore to society. Curious that this observation does not follow her never convincingly demonstrated, supported by hard facts: how to constitute a threat, what is the cause-effect relationship? Emulation? But then why do not all become heterosexual gay, as gay and straight have always lived closely?
In fact, of all the misconceptions and prejudices about homosexuality this is by far the most dangerous, because it is at least a de facto incitement to racial hatred, being a theory that fear creeps a not substantially justified (that is an outright lie) and suggests a solution -based discrimination.
In Italy too, where there is not any protection for couples but not for gay people, the statement is a paradox and it sounds like another hoax.

_____________________________________________________________

In conclusion, a fact that the prejudices of the above are based mainly on the ideology of religions that are not even shared and practiced by all citizens, not only said that homosexuality is not an unnatural phenomenon, a "lifestyle" based on a number of unjustified claims, or a threat to society, but the issue goes before reversed and finally pulled out from the field of moral and then framed by a different perspective , that is inserted in the field of civilization and equality, because this country is (or should be) a secular, ask, because if gay citizens have-rightly-equal obligations should only have half the rights of those heterosexuals? Why have not we talk about an institution at least comparable to marriage, protection against homophobia and a halt to propaganda against the Catholic gay people?
The ministers who filled the stage of the Conference on the Family of Milan, and in particular to the Economy, Giulio Tremonti (or those who will follow, as currently its chair, as the entire government Berlusconi quater, somewhat wobbly ) we appeal: that gay citizens, couples and individuals, who like other work, form families, generate income and pay taxes with which they are funded services for citizens as heterosexuals (including believers), not not only be forced to pay more taxes, as well called by the Mayor of Rome Gianni Alemanno with unparalleled electoral indifference, but that the tax burden to them is reduced by half . At least until the restoration of equal rights for all citizens.

How High Do You Hang A Curtain Holdback?

The real homophobia and the fourth power

"Berlusconi attacks gay", "Berlusconi insults the gay." These catastrophic titles of some of the major dailies on newsstands in recent days about the stupid joke - also perfectly consistent with the substance character - that the Prime Minister has given the Fair, trying to justify his private affairs with some women and showing the other hand, once again, that man, when it is expressed in following his own freewheeling nature, is more worthy of an inn of the lowest category of the palaces of power.

If the joke is in itself so stupid and do not deserve to be out of place - despite the general indignation - no comment, two aspects are a side issue that should be underlined. The first concerns the fact that some newspapers, commenting on yet another Berlusconi gaffe (whether or not changes little media strategy) spoke of "machismo", even homophobia: no joking matter, homophobia is something else, and has little to do with machismo, homophobia is discrimination based on ideological speculation that has its roots in ' ancient Catholic propaganda, which the Italian society is so saturated that even the most does not seem that there is no attitude of contempt for homosexual persons, but rather the proper reporting of a condition "naturally unnatural" (there are steps the pun ) homosexuality.

The index of this is also given by the corollary of paradoxical statements and very sad for those who have the thankless task of defending the leader and always - a real job! - Or simply a fellow party members. Take for example the Hon. Santanche, according to which Berlusconi is right because "every family dreams of a heterosexual son", or official statements prior to Berlusconi's jokes, like the philosopher (?) Rocco Buttiglione, who says that being gay is wrong as not paying taxes. Worthy tavern cronies of the Prime Minister.

The second thing to point out concerns the mass media, which evidently believe gay people deserve the front page, if there's only half of Berlusconi. Yet homophobic statements tremendously more serious and vicious arrive every day from Oltretevere, bouncing on this side of the river from inside the palace, from which come amplified. It is therefore legitimate to ask what is worse: to make a joke about gays or support third-graders with obstinacy that homosexual persons are a threat to the family and for society as a whole?

Theorizing racism itself against a minority, bragging that this constitutes a danger to the majority, was for centuries the most effective way to justify some of the greatest tragedies of humanity, yet these statements fools never ends on the front page with the same emphasis of these days, as if there were in newspaper editors a sort of evil addictive (or even lack of interest: best scandal, makes it more) to the religious propaganda, with the result that we behave as if we had all been lobotomized and chloroformed, stripped of the capacity for indignation and play ' alarm when it is needed.

is why in all this, no small part of your responsibility is to be attributed to media sensationalism, political absorbed by a cheap and successful, the bulk of the media has given up his role as a sentinel of democracy, offset the strong powers, generator informed debate and conscience free. The media, in contrast, are prone in power even when they claim to be his pride against. The quality of a democracy is measured also by the condition of minorities and the degree of freedom of conscience and the media. For this reason, beyond the trivial out of the worst prime minister in history, if we can rightly say that this democracy is sick, it's up to us to respond: Even with the media.
