San Fernando in Cádiz installs traffic lights with homosexual couples
GAYLES.TV.- The consistory of San Fernando in Cádiz has decided to install traffic lights with gay and lesbian couples in busy areas. In total, 10 traffic lights have been modified, 5 with a couple of boys and a similar number with a couple of girls. Despite having several days installed, 14 took advantage of February, Valentine's Day, to organize a press conference and make them known
As he has stated Ana Lorenzo, socialist regent of Inclusion and Social Affairs of the locality, it is a matter of "recognizing and making visible the affective sexual diversity. For the neighbors has been a surprise, people stop at pedestrian crossings to take pictures ". The initiative arose after the City Council approved in January of the 2016 a Municipal Plan Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia which includes cross-cutting measures of all kinds in areas such as education, sports and youth. According to the council, the idea occurred to them when they saw that it had already been done in other cities and that this small change ended up having an everyday impact on the city.
On the whole, the initiative has been well received except, for a change, of the ultra-Catholic Hazteoir that already speaks of a "citizen controversy without precedents in the city", lamenting that San Fernando "has been news not to fight unemployment or the dirt of its streets, but by the so-called LGTB traffic lights of sexual diversity; or ideological and indoctrinating traffic lights ", according to his opinion Pedro Mejías, a local spokesperson for the platform. Mejías regrets that these traffic lights are placed "at the door of educational centers, in an evident lack of respect for the families that we have our children educating them there, giving affective-sexual behaviors as a model for children and adolescents who disagree with many heterosexual families ”.
In short, the usual, which are already taking the LGTBI fighting groups to denounce the systematic violation of the law by Hazteoir.org with its calls to hatred and discrimination.
We would like to congratulate the town hall of San Fernando for this initiative that had already been carried out in cities such as Vienna and that we hope will be followed by other Spanish municipalities.
