"Homosexual Union is the Opposite of the Family"

An Interview with Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira (Written by TFP.org )

On October 29, 1992, Prof. Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira granted an interview to the Brazilian newspaper, O Globo, about the problem of homosexuality and its threat to the family. We reproduce the interview for the benefit of our readers.

Q. What is your opinion about the increase of homosexuality in Brazilian society? Do you believe it harms family integrity?

The effect of homosexuality on the family in Brazil is the same as everywhere else.

Since the homosexual relationship is sterile by definition, it is destructive of the family; it is the opposite of the family, and the number one enemy of the family....Homosexuality is completely contrary to the natural order and therefore contrary to the family.....
An interview very well worth reading.

This seems like a thinly veiled excuse for bigotry and xenophobia. Family is not, merely, about procreation. Family is about love and support. There are many heterosexual couples that marry and do not plan on having or cannot have children. By this reasoning, older couples, couples that do not want children and couples unable to have children should not be allowed to marry.

Also, legislating your religious view is unamerican. We are a nation built upon freedom, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Respect the rights of your fellow citizens and they will respect yours.
