World Congress of Families Decries Brazilian President's Call to Criminalize Opposition to Homosexuality

PRESS RELEASE
13 June 2008
Rockford, Illinois

Responding to Brazilian President Luiz Lula’s description of opposition to homosexuality as “perhaps the most perverse disease impregnated in the human head,” World Congress of Families Global Coordinator Larry Jacobs said the comment is “so inane as to leave one breathless.”

“Lula has gone further than any other head of state to align himself with the most radical elements of the international homosexual movement,” Jacobs observed. “Now he’s saying that opposition to perversion is worse than racism, anti-Semitism or the totalitarian impulse.”

Lula’s comments came at the First National Conference of Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals, Transvestites and Transsexuals” in Brasilia, on June 5. the rest image
