The president of the Mexican association Familia Mundial, Juan
Dabdoub, has denounced the country’s government for considering a
constitutional amendment that would make “sexual preference” a human
right.
He argued that the measure would also legitimize pedophilia and bestiality.
Dabdoub,
who directs the association based in Monterrey, underscored that the
human right to “sexual preference” does not exist in the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights or in “any international organization.”
The
House of Representatives debated Feb. 24 whether to put the measure to a
vote on March 1, but chose to send it back to the committee.
Dabdoub
said the measure was sponsored by “representatives from the Democratic
Revolution Party,” which also promoted the legalization of abortion and
homosexual unions in Mexico City.
Dabdoub told CNA on Feb. 24 that
this amendment would institutionalize conduct that psychiatric entities
worldwide “treat as disorders,” such as transvestism, fetishism,
voyeurism, exhibitionism and sado-masochism.
If the measure is
approved, “teachers would be able to dress as transvestites and teach
their classes.”
They could not be disciplined “because you would be
discriminating against them,” Daboub added.
Sexual preference is
not “a medical term,” he underscored, noting that “a clear intent”
exists “to move toward allowing behavior in society in which sexuality
is completely trivialized.”
“There are politicians who want to
push these things through, but there are also many people of good will
who should have been just a bit more suspicious of what their colleagues
were proposing with their erroneous ideology,” Dabdoub said.
