Poroshenko took the side of homosexuals
The Administration of the President of Ukraine has removed from its website an electronic petition asking to take measures to stop the promotion of homosexuality and protect traditional family values.
This is reported “Ukrainian news”, referring to a representative of the AP.
It is noted that the petition was registered on January 26 by the chairman of the board of the Association of Missionary Churches of Evangelical Christians of Ukraine, Viktor Tantsyura. If 25 thousand votes were received, the document would be sent to Poroshenko for consideration.
20 days before the deadline, the document received more than 23 thousand votes, but on March 27 it was removed from the president’s website. The AP confirmed that it was they who took such measures, and not the author of the petition, but refused to explain their position.
“The initiator of the petition received an answer to this question; we cannot comment on these decisions over the phone,” the president’s reception office said.
The Association of Missionary Churches of Evangelical Christians of Ukraine called the removal of the petition “an attack on freedom of speech” and stated that a letter asking to stop publishing the petition was sent to the AP by a representative of the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights, Aksana Filipishina.
In turn, Filipishina confirmed that she sent the appeal because she believes that the petition calls for the restriction of human rights, incites discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, and violates the rights of LGBT people to respect for their honor and dignity.
“With such petitions, society is incited, positions are imposed on what is right and what is wrong, and this is discrimination. This is not a free speech issue. This is a human rights issue. “My freedom and my right end where another person’s freedom and rights begin,” she said.
At the same time, Tantsyura registered similar petitions on the website of the Cabinet of Ministers and the Verkhovna Rada, and a month before the deadline for collecting signatures, they received almost 25 and 20,3 thousand votes, respectively.
Filipishina said that she also sent a request to stop their publication to the government and parliament, but has not yet received a response from them.
She also called on the Administration, the Cabinet of Ministers and the Rada, when further publishing petitions, to analyze their content for violations of the requirements of anti-discrimination legislation.
In her petitions, Tantsyura writes that the action plan for the implementation of the National Human Rights Strategy until 2021 includes the inclusion of gender education in the school education system, the legalization of registered civil partnerships for same-sex couples and allowing transgender people to adopt children.
The author fears that after the plan is implemented, criminal liability will be introduced for criticizing the popularization of homosexuality, and parents of schoolchildren who oppose this may be deprived of parental rights.
“Same-sex sexuality is a consequence of a person’s free but erroneous, immoral and sinful choice. Promotion of homosexuality, improper upbringing, sexual abuse experienced in childhood and other reasons can push one to make such a sinful choice. The Bible classifies homosexuality as one of the most serious sins,” says the pastor.
He asks the authorities to publicly condemn the promotion of homosexuality; do not pass laws promoting the legalization of same-sex marriage; pass a law banning the promotion of homosexuality and state protection of traditional family values.
As PolitNavigator reported, Ukrainian gays invented for Bandera new – tolerant symbols.
