The Anglican Church proposes using the neuter gender to refer to God

The General Synod of the Anglican Church has decided to bless equal marriages, although it will continue to prohibit its celebration

La Anglican church study to use the gender neutral to refer to God. Some liberal Anglican sectors want the Church of england remove references to God as if you were a male. This would mean an important change, after millennia in which God has been prayed for, describing him as "Father".

"Christians have recognized since ancient times that God is neither male nor female", affirms the Anglican church in an emailed statement. “However, the variety of ways of addressing and describing God found in Scripture has not always been reflected in our worship..

Both the Church and theologians add that this is nothing new and is part of the intention adapt language to contemporary times. Any decision to change the language used to refer to or address God would also need the approval of the church's legislative body, and as yet there is no consensus on the best language to use.

The vice president of the church's Liturgical Commission, the Rev. Michael Ipgrave, stated that the liturgical commission "has been exploring the use of gender language in relation to God for several years, in collaboration with the Faith and Order Commission.”.

Equal marriage

The Anglican Church proposes using the neuter gender to refer to God

This does not mean that from now on the Church Can celebrate same-sex weddings. Doctrine and liturgy continue to forbid it. The decision means that same-sex couples who have entered into a civil marriage will now be able to participate in Anglican religious services.

The synod representatives have included in the approved motion “his lamentation and repentance for the failure of the Church to welcome the community into its bosom LGBTQI+, and for the damage that they have experienced, and continue to experience, in the churches".

In fact, with the Coeduca't program, in force since 2019, these lessons had already been incorporated in the different stages.

La rearrangement of the curriculum for stage 0-6 It has been done "counting on the collaboration of professionals from different fields: experts from various educational entities, universities and active professionals who work with early childhood”. "For the first time, the infant decree presents 0-6 as a unique educational stage, with its own identity and in which the two cycles that comprise it respond to the same educational intention," they claim, highlighting that the decree "adds, unifies and gives coherence to the contributions of the experts and professionals who carry out their activity in this stage”.

For this, the guide establishes that teachers they must provide boys and girls with stories, games and didactic material respectful of equality with the purpose of "make diversity positive in a framework of normalization”.

“It is important that we keep in mind the multiple possibilities we have to raise affective, sexual, gender and family diversity in the school day-to-day” and do it"always in an inclusive, positive and close way”, underlines the manual for teachers.

"I get out of the Civil Registry of Alicante without a child and fearing for my job”, denounced one of the mothers. «It's outrageous and absolutely discriminatory«, they lament.

And they have decided to bring it to light because they are convinced that there will be a flood of similar cases, since recently, on July 14, 2022, the Law for Equal Treatment and Non-Discrimination, introduced the possibility of having a child by the ROPA method, as is your case, without the need to be married.

Even in the hospital where they gave birth, the health workers tried as normal to register the child as usual, "and they had to call us because the program did not allow them the option since they were not married, although they also assured us that in the Civil Registry of Alicante we weren't going to have a problem«, they report.

They have lived together for five years, and as a common-law couple they are legally registered in the Civil Registry from the province for two years, at the same window where they are now being denied the registration of their joint child as mothers.

A clear case of discrimination in Alicante

«Officials admit to us that it is discriminatory. They told us in the Registry that if we were a man and a woman it is neither necessary to be a common-law couple nor to get married. But that there is a law that, as a couple of women, forces us to be married, contrary to what happens to heterosexual couples”, they warn.

They have put the matter in the hands of lawyers and, from the outset, have filed a formal complaint with the Ministry of Justice «for discriminating against us as a homosexual couple when registering our son. We have not been able to register it because we are not married, despite being a common-law partner since December 2020. If we had been a heterosexual couple, they would have allowed us to register it without having to be a common-law couple or being married", they claim.

They even report cases «of couples of friends who have registered their child as both, without the need to present any proof«. And in her case, even the baby is the biological son of the one she gave the egg to. pregnant mom.

«adoptive mother of his biological son.

A lesbian from Alicante is denied biological motherhood for not being married«It is an emotional stick for both of us, in addition to feeling discriminated against", they emphasize. His son is not on paper. «We want this terrible experience to be of some use to future mothers who, like us, are common-law couples but have not married.or”, they denounce.

And that the public administration take note of the aberration that it entails «to see your child born, from an ovum of yours, but have to register it as adopted«. «Adoptive mother of her biological son, in which head does it fitthey wonder.

Legal complications at work

Documentation as a common-law couple and the birth of the baby were enough for her company to grant her maternity leave, but having been denied the registration of the child as a mother for all purposes, the situation has changed. «I can prove with papers in any court that I am the biological mother, but they won't let me register it"he reiterates.

Suddenly it has been seenlow only virtuall», and because of the short time he has been in that job, he even thought that he would be fired, and with a newborn son. Fortunately it has not been like that, but she has had to return to work immediately and resign herself as «adoptive mother«.

Strasbourg declares it illegal to discriminate against a children's book for having LGTBI content

Strasbourg condemns Lithuania for stopping the publication of a children's storybook with LGTBI characters and labeling it harmful

El European Court of Human Rights has considered that labeling a children's book as harmful just because it contains content LGTBI violates freedom of expression, in an unprecedented sentence that responds to a lawsuit opened in Lithuania but that sets a precedent for all the countries integrated under the umbrella of the aforementioned court.

The facts date back to the end of 2013, when a university published a book by the author Neringa Dangvyde Macate, now deceased. The work, which was partially financed by the Ministry of Culture Aimed at children aged nine to ten, it adapted traditional fairy tales to include characters from different ethnic groups or intellectual disabilities with the aim of addressing issues such as stigma, bullying, divorced families or emigration. In addition, two of the six stories recounted same-sex relationships and marriages.

The publication led to complaints to the Ministry and the University, alleging for example that the book “encouraged perversion". The ethics inspection concluded that the text could be “harmful" for children under 14, so when distribution of the book resumed, it was done with a label warning of the content.

After a series of internal lawsuits, the controversy was raised in 2019 to the Strasbourg ECtHR, which finally concluded that the Lithuanian authorities contravened the article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, related to freedom of expression, and limited the access of minors to some stories that were limited to putting marriage between people of the same sex as “equivalent" to heterosexual union.

Preference for certain types of families

For the judges, the restrictions that were applied against the book, which limited its distribution, sought "limit children's access to information that describes same-sex relationships as essentially equivalent to relationships between different-sex couples”. And it "has broad social implications”, they warn in their ruling. In this, they also say "firmly" convinced that restrictive measures such as those adopted by Lithuania with the book of Macate "demonstrate that the authorities have a preference for certain types of relationships and families over others, and that they see relationships between different sexes as more socially acceptable and valuable than those of the same sex, thus contributing to the continued stigmatization of the latter".

The judges do not consider that the text was "sexually explicit” nor that, as he argued Government, a certain type of marriages was being promoted. “On the contrary, the stories advocated for the respect and acceptance of all members of society in a fundamental aspect of their lives., reads the final opinion.

Therefore, lithuanian state has been sentenced to pay $12.000 to the plaintiff's mother for damages, as well as to pay other 5.000 euros for the costs of the process. He ECHR, based in Strasbourg, is independent of the European Union and is responsible for providing a judicial response to violations of the European Convention on Human Rights.

Allison Bingo, 36 years old, is the first nonbinary priest from england to be recognized by the Anglican Church. Allison maintained a masculine identity when he began his preparation in the seminary to be ordained as a priest, but declared himself as no binary when he was still vicar, that is, auxiliary to the Bishop, because he does not identify himself as a man, but neither as a woman. He now dedicates himself to visiting schools of Liverpool for young people to approach religion and has publicly expressed its support for the community LGTBI +.

Church St. Margaret of Antioch, located in Liverpool, ordained him as a priest and now he is dedicated to visiting schools of Liverpool for young people to approach religion. He has also publicly expressed his support for the community LGTBI +. He is a supporter of gay marriage and works for the visibility of trans people.

"My views used to be very traditional and certainly very conservative. Some might call them intolerant and there was a lot of ignorance and a lot of otherness. I didn't take the time to learn from other people's experiences"He assured Allison Bingo, who declared no binary when he was still serving as vicar. He decided to remain with a masculine identity until the end of his preparation as a priest.

He admits that he had conservative thoughts, that some could even qualify as intolerant against the community LGTBI +, since he grew up hearing that gay people «they were sinful«, but in his spiritual retreats his ideology changed. “It was a deeper spiritual experience, I correctly felt that God was leading me to this new truth about myself.Allison stated.

Self-discovery

Bingo Allison becomes England's first non-binary priestWhen he was training as a vicar, he came across the term «queer» with which he now identifies and although at first he thought of abandoning his vocation, it was during a journey of religious self-discovery that he realized that homosexuality was not a bad thing.

As the priest recalled, he was writing an essay on how God created the Earth when he came across the biblical text: «And God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them: Genesis 1:27", and there he had a revelation when he realized that God was referring to"masculinity and femininity» and did not speak of men or women.

"One of the things that has stayed with me in my ministry is that transition and coming out can and should be a spiritual experience as well as an emotional, social, and sometimes physical experience."He says.

La European Commission launched this Wednesday a proposal for a regulation to harmonize laws of the Member States regarding the filiation of children with their parents, which also provides for the creation of a "European certificate of parenthood” valid in the Twenty-seven. Although the initiative, if approved, would benefit any family that, for example, moves to another EU country, it is specifically designed to facilitate the legal recognition of children of LGTBI couples on European territory, in view of the fact that there are states like Poland or Hungary where rights of this group they are going backwards.

"All EU members have to recognize parentage established in another member state”, has summarized the Justice Commissioner Didier Reynders, in line with what the president stated a few months ago, ursula von der layen"If you are a parent in one country, you are a parent in all countries”. The President of the Commission has celebrated with "pride" this proposal. The objective is "help all families and children in cross-border situations"And"reinforce LGTBI rights".

reynders, has presented this apparently simple proposal, but with significant legal implications in matters of private international law, for example, in matters of inheritance, maintenance or custody rights. “From the moment a Member State establishes a link of parentage on the basis of its national law, all other Member States must recognize that link and allow, for example, parents enter their territory and reside with their children there”, he explained at a press conference in Brussels.

protect minors

The European Commission proposes a "European certificate of parenthood"The proposal benefits all children whose affiliation has been established in a Member State "regardless of how the child was conceived or born, regardless of the type of family of the minor and regardless of the nationality of the children and parents".

The rule would also apply to cases of surrogacy if they are allowed in EU countries or, as in Spain, filiation occurs at consulates: "If there is recognition through an embassy or in a third country, the rights of children in that member state must be respected".

It is about, underlines the European Commission, from "beef up” the protection of fundamental and other rights of children, including the right to an identity, not to be discriminated against and to a family life in another STATUS member other than the one where they were born or adopted, always taking into account as "first consideration" the best interest of the minor. It also seeks to providelegal certainty” when in a country it is requested to recognize the filiation of a child already established in another member of the UE.

"European certificate of parenthood"

A key element of the proposal is the creation of a “European certificate of parenthood” that children or their legal representatives may request in the country that established their filial relationship. This certificate, which will be Voluntary and will be available in all languages ​​of the UE, must be accepted in each Member State, as long as the proposal goes ahead, thus facilitating the transfer of families for work reasons —or any other type— within the European space. And that is a fundamental question, he pointed out reynders: currently, the obstacles that some families experience LGTBI in certain European countries are violating, among others, a key right in the region: that of move freely around Europe.
