been 19 years since the May 17, 1990, the day he was removed "homosexuality" from the list of "diseases "the World Health Organization (WHO), but our conditions have not changed substantially.
Chile (according to studies by the University of Chile and the Ideas Foundation) presents dangerous levels intolerance against homosexuals. Thus, by the mere fact tell us or accept us as non-heterosexual, we are discriminated against at once, driving us out of schools and workplaces, with difficult access in the workplace, education and health, framed in the great conservatism led mainly by Church and the Right. But it is no coincidence that we discriminate, because we are sexual minorities that question in fact the institution of the family and thus the legacy of patriarchy, for failure to leave offspring, ie, employers might say, "labor" cheap is suitable for the growth of the country, ultimately to the production and reproduction of capitalist society.
Thus, playback is interrupted and the construction of social order around the figure of heterosexual marriage, without reproducing, thus a direct social roles, gender, religious and moral that we daily impose the mass media to direct the moral influence of the Church, bombarding us with images that support and sustain the family as the only valid link relationships, exposing it as "normal" and "natural," since the attraction between persons of the same sex is present from the existence of human beings.
The Law Discrimination rested 4 years in Parliament (composed of the Concertación and the Right), which keeps intact the same laws that discriminate against us, for example, Article 373 of the penal code that condemns the moral offense and good manners to the expression of love between same sex, which we arbitrarily applied by the police that legalizes discrimination and repression. Another example is Article 365 (governs under 18) that establishes a certain age in order to maintain a relationship with someone of the same sex, unlike heterosexual.
is this law upon which the Movilh (Gay Liberation Movement) has tried to add an item on the respect for sexual orientation to defend sexual minorities, but this law has been incorporated the evangelical church "as oppressed sector of the Great Catholic Church." While evangelicals are the same as those who have spoken strongly against homosexuality, verbally attacking organizations like the MUMS and Movilh, and seeking to prevent the Law Against Discrimination add this point. Therefore it is necessary to defend ourselves and not compromise with these religious groups, we must reject that in so general a law like this should also be included religious minorities, when the same religions and churches that support and reinforce the discrimination sexual minorities in reality.
believe from Bread and Roses - Teresa Flores to be progress in the fight for our democratic rights, such as the Civil Union, against the criminalization by putting limits our sexual status and prohibitions of discrimination, the right to education, etc. You need to join forces with women's organizations, students, human rights and left, especially with organizations of workers, to prepare a response both to the discharge of the economic crisis make employers and the government over our shoulders ( layoffs, downsizing, increased hours of work, labor flexibility, etc..) uniformly and to defend our rights, fighting independently of any variation of the government, the bosses' parties (both the Right and the Coalition and the Independents ") and the Church.
is necessary to promote an active struggle for our rights, but to conquer and hold, it is necessary to struggle against capitalism, fighting for a socialist revolution to end the hypocrisy background imposed on us by the capitalist state and Church, its double standards as we discriminate by not correspond to the heteronormative, while allowing rape, abuse, maltreatment, defending "values" and a culture built on foundations of humiliation, oppression and exploitation. Only then can we confront the state to criminalize our condition, "naturalized" our oppression and hanging chains further worsen if we are workers, workers and poor. The struggle of GLBT (1) is the struggle against capitalism and patriarchy which only occur in conjunction with all the oppressed and exploited by the capitalist system from its ruins to build a society of true equality and freedom. Only in this way can we lay the concrete foundation and favorable for a sexuality free from all forms of oppression, where we / I can decide on our bodies and our lives.
Bread and Roses - Teresa Flores invites you to build together and fight together, these flags, so we are hundreds of thousands carry out this task to end this system of exploitation and oppression and win our liberation.
