The Constitutional Court\u00b4s decision that restricts homosexual\u00b4s rights is a \u201cdiscrimination\u201d, stated Colombian Attorney General.<\/p>\n
Senior Official stated that the Constitutional Court\u00b4s decision was not enough since it did not accept adoption without restrictions and imposed the condition that the child must be the biological child of one couple\u00b4s member. However, he considered that it was an important step to get closer to equal rights for same-sex couples.<\/p>\n
Senior Official considers that Congress must remedy what \u201cconstitutes a discrimination\u201d and he asked lawmakers to take a step forward concerning this issue and solve it.<\/p>\n
He thinks it is a huge opportunity for Congress to move forward in the fight against discrimination and to make progress in the fight for obtaining same material conditions for Colombian citizens and especially for those sectors historically discriminated such as homosexuals.<\/p>\n
Montealegre Lynett\u00a0 stated \u201cI hope that a serene discussion will take place where it should be clear that religious conceptions must be separated\u00a0 from human rights, since religious conceptions must not triumph over fundamental rights\u201d.<\/p>\n
Likewise, he voiced his opposition to a referendum that establishes restrictions for homosexual couples to adopt children, since he considers it would be a backward step concerning the rights that have been achieved with constitution in 1991.<\/p>\n
Regarding the fact that these couples resort to insemination or a surrogate mother, the Attorney General reminded that this mechanism is allowed and valid in Colombia, as long as, they legally act\u00a0 in accordance with constitution. These are, in the case of homosexuals, valid conducts in order to achieve adoptions\u201d. He stated that in regard to the surrogate mother source, it requires an special regulation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
