As we saw in the headlines of various means of the region, the country and the world, in Argentina " gay marriage law after a landmark meeting in the Senate ."
This week adopted the civil code so that two persons of the same sex can marry, by a vote of 33 senators in favor and 27 against. This puts Argentina in the tenth country in the world to recognize this right, after the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Canada, South Africa, Norway, Sweden, Portugal and Iceland, and the first Latin America.
recent days (both before and after passage of the Act) the extensive debates on the adoption or otherwise of this project occupied the agenda of the media, squares, bars, houses and even the most unusual places in the country. Everyone spoke and said, putting together a wave of gan positions that showed a clear division of views. It is true that we live in a democracy and everyone is entitled to talk about what that involves us all as a society, and is perfect so, that's for sure.
With what I disagree is that they all attributed the power of truth, knowing that there is only one truth. I doubt that a heterosexual person can come to understand the need to marry homosexuals, as many refuse to allow gays and lesbians exist, the mere fact of believing that they are not worthy of acceptance. Both
who were in favor and those who have had positioned themselves against their bases, perhaps equally valid from their point of view. One is free to say what you feel, no?.
What I personally happened to me is that I was not the "right", so to speak, to comment on the lives of others. I feel that does not affect me at all that two people of the same sex can marry and not consider myself to have the right to interfere in your privacy, because that is precisely the life they chose.
Anyway armed discussions everywhere, even went to the web. Social networking groups emerged as "Say no to gay marriage" (20,814 fans) or "I am in favor of gay marriage" , "I'm for the legalization of gay marriage" (195,560 fans). Both groups were joined by people for and against. Among the messages that were released there are some as
- "EQUAL ♀ ♀ = ♥ ♂ ♂ = ♥"
- "Congratulations! After much time to think about it I realized that we were being unfair to you. I am glad of this success and all yours! "
- " Homosexuality not a problem. "
- "Today is a holiday gentlemen, there is still poor, there is still inequality, there is still everything bad, but we took a major step. Congratulations to everyone who supported this. "
and others who claimed just the opposite:
- "God created Adam and Eve to populate the earth that God did not create Adam and Adansito, God created man and woman so that they populated the earth or else God had created-male but not, JOIN.
- "Say NO to gay marriage, and unless they can adopt children."
hashtags in twitter with # MatrimonioIgualitario and # MatrimonioGay accumulate until this moment thousands of tweets on this topic. Some who chose:
- "How good is the # matrimoniogay approved. Happy at last equality for all "
- " no longer exists matrimoniogay is now married, period, "
- " People are going to marry because marriage is less discredited from # matrimoniogay "says a guy in the locker room. Incredible! "
On the other hand, wanted to highlight a sere of ideas which he held a note Mabel Bianco, who is president of Foundation for Study and Research on Women (FEIM): "The right to marry should be equal for all people, regardless of your choice or sexual identity. Human rights must be equal for all citizens and not be recognized in part or some characteristic differences. Limit the rights of the option or sexual identity generates citizens first and second. "
And worth mentioning the closing of a column he wrote the journalist mendozino Ulises Naranjo in a note published in the journal online Mdz : "So beautiful is the freedom that each person is made a paradise its measure. In mine, one live and the universe, the front and back, the self and the otherness, the homosexual and heterosexual and also intermediate positions and the bishop (if the good bishop) and atheist (if is good atheist). Yes, sir, the lukewarm, to the bigots, the anti-democratic, child abusers and murderers, I leave it outside. "
To me the passage of this bill won new rights for many people who were on the fringe of" the majority ", so to speak. As stated in the campaign Inadi " himself love, equal rights .
Instead of prejudice, this time won the love, right? Or at least that is my opinion ... why leave it open the space for you to also express it.
