Brazilian government demands apology from televangelist for ‘homophobia’

Image
A Brazilian federal prosecutor is demanding that a televangelist retract certain statements he made which the prosecutor says incited “hatred” against homosexuals - a thinly veiled threat of future legal action . “The people in the Gay Parade mock the symbols of the Catholic Church and no one says anything,” televangelist Silas Malafaia reportedly said. “The Catholic Church should take a stick to these guys, you know? They should lower the club on them.” Silas Malafia Malafaia has reportedly responded to criticisms that he was inciting violence against homosexuals by stating that by “take a stick” (“entrar de pau”) and “lower the club” (“baixar o porrete) he meant the Church should “formulate criticisms, take legal actions.” In his remarks Malafaia was referring to the desecration of sacred images that occur regularly in homosexual parades in Brazil. Federal prosecutor Jefferson Apareceido Dias says the comments contain “clear homophobic content, because they incite violenc

Translated from the Portuguese original by Matthew Cullinan Hoffman July 5, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - Marisa Lobo, a Brazilian psychologist who identifies publicly as a Christian , answers questions from pro-family activist Julio Severo about her struggle against Brazil’s leftist Federal Council of Psychology (CFP), which has forbidden her to publicly associate her Christianity with her identity as a psychologist, a ruling that has recently been condemned by the Religious Right and Liberty Committee of the Order of Attorneys of Brazil as unconstitutional. Marisa Lobo Lobo says that she was threatened with the loss of her license by the CFP in response to complaints from homosexual activists over her blog and Twitter posts condemning the “gay kit” that the Brazilian government tried to distribute to public school students in 2011, with the stated purpose of fighting “homophobia.” The kit’s explicit contents and positive portrayal of homosexual behavior provoked outrage

World’s ‘biggest’ gay pride march shrinks dramatically: politicians abandon

Image
une 20, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - With financial and moral support from the country’s highest authorities, Brazil ’s “gay pride” marches have long been billed as the largest in the world, with the city of Sao Paulo boasting the number one spot. Generous estimates by the government’s Military Police offered the seemingly impossible figures of between 2.5 and four million participants at the annual event, a figure enthusiastically seconded by parade organizers and dutifully repeated by the international media. However, this year’s parade offered a starkly different picture. Following a study commissioned by the Datafolha Institute by the Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper in 2011, which exposed the wildly-inflated nature of last year’s attendance figures, the Military Police are refusing to give any estimate of the attendance for this year’s parade. The Datafolha Institute, however, says that the 2012 LGBT Pride Parade brought in only 270,000 people, a number that represents a small

Catholic TV network removes homosexualist program host following protest campaign

November 22, 2011  - Brazil ’s largest Catholic television network has decided to end a controversial new program led by a well-known socialist, homosexualist politician. New Song TV (TV Canção Nova) has canceled the program following an Internet protest campaign by outraged viewers, led th Image via Wikipedia rough the twitter account #CançãoNovaSemPT (New Song without the Labor Party ). The “Justice and Peace” show, which aired weekly beginning November 3, featured Edinho Silva, who was billed as a “sociologist,” but who is also the leader of the ruling Labor Party in the state of São Paulo. Catholic commentators were quick to point out that Silva openly promotes the homosexualist political agenda, and leads a party that is seeking to legalize the murder of unborn children throughout Brazil, in the name of “public health.” During the national elections earlier this year, Silva’s political machine led the attack against Catholic bishops who sought to alert voters about the pro-aborti

Brazilian city council imposes fine for inducing children into homosexuality

Image via Wikipedia SÃO JOSE DOS CAMPOS , Brazil, August 15, 2011- The city council of São José dos Campos ( Saint Joseph of the Fields) in the state of São Paulo, Brazil , has passed an ordinance imposing a fine equivalent to 620 USD on anyone distributing materials designed to induce children to become homosexuals, according to Brazilian media sources. The measure is meant to prevent the federal government from reintroducing a controversial “anti- homophobia ” program that was withdrawn by the administration of President Dilma Rousseff in May, following protests against its sexually explicit content by Evangelicals and Catholics in the national congress. The program, called “Schools Without Homophobia,” is currently being revised and is expected to be reintroduced soon. Although President Dilma has expressed her intention to remove objectionable videos that sought to justify the homosexual lifestyle in a graphic manner, opponents of the program remain doubtful.

Following outcry, Brazilian president cancels homosexual indoctrination program in nation’s schools

Image via Wikipedia Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff has agreed to eliminate a very explicit United Nations approved program designed to convince children and adolescents to accept homosexual behavior and transsexualism, following threats from Protestant and Catholic legislators to block new legislation in protest. The program, which was sponsored by by the Brazilian Ministry of Education and referred to as “Schools without Homophobia ,” included an “anti-homophobia kit,” with videos showing a cartoon of a child masturbating while fantasizing about sex with a man, adolescents who enter into homosexual relationships, and a “transsexual” student who calls himself “Bianca.” In the original video, the “Bianca” character reportedly becomes sexually aroused at the sight of another male student urinating in the bathroom, although this scene was apparently removed later, along with an another image showing two girls kissing on the lips.   The program also supplied students with games,
