LGBT rights no longer considered human rights in Brazil

Provisional Measure No. 870/19, signed by Jair Bolsonaro (SPL) on Tuesday (1), removed the LGBT population from the list of policies and guidelines aimed at the promotion of Human Rights. The MP makes explicit the changes in the structure of the ministries, including the new Ministry of Women, Family and Human Rights, led by the pastor Damares Alves. The edition was published in the Official Gazette of the Union later this Tuesday (click here to check the MP in its entirety).

This is what we get when the far right rises. I'd much rather be a "snowflake" than align myself with those views.

It begins. That Bolsonaro is even worse than Trump. This is so incredibly sad, and beware, the next four years will be very difficult.

This just short circuits my brain. 

Human rights, by definition, is the freedom to live your life regardless of how you choose to live it.

So if LGBTQs are no longer included it's not human rights anymore.

All my well wishes to the people of Brazil. 💓

By the way, he has said in the past that he's "proudly prejudiced" and that gays didn't need any specific anti-homophobia law because "most gays are killed by their pimps while the good citizen is asleep".

 

However, since he started his presidential campaign, his statements have been a bit less agressive. He says he will only fight "LGBT agenda" in schools, but doesn't really care if same-sex people get together (as long, of course, we're not talking about children). After he was elected president, he stated "if someone attacks another one, specially because of homophobia, there will be punishment".

 

Let's see how this works out. Hopefully, there will still exist a whole different department for LGBT issues.

Israeli government is far right wing by the way. It's the far right wing party in Israel. Liberals haven't won since the 90s lol...

Sad...
