The Generalitat denounces the massive delivery of the homophobic book to schools in Catalonia

GAYLES.TV.- A few weeks ago the ultra-Catholic platform Make yourself heard I was sending 100.000 homophobic brochures to schools with the title «Do you know what they want to teach your child in your school?«. The 41-page brochure questions the autonomous laws that protect people's rights LGTB +. “We have a lot at stake. Fighting this new form of ideological indoctrination is everyone's obligation ”, it is explained on the cover of the booklet.

Yesterday the Departament de Treball, Afers Socials and Families of the Generalitat de Catalunya denounced the massive dissemination of this homophobic book in schools.

Mireia Mata, director of Igualtat of the Generalitat, denounced the shipment because "it is clearly discriminatory and violates the human rights of LGTBI people." Kill recalled that the guarantee of the rights of LGTBI persons is recognized by the Generalitat and regulated by the Law 11 / 2014 approved by the Parliament of Catalonia. “We ask that the students not be given these books that the Make You Hear organization recently sent them. In Catalonia there is no place for publications that clearly attack people because of their sexual condition ”, he stated. We applaud the condemnation of the Department of Equality, but more needs to be done. More forcefulness is needed and the involvement of Departament d'Ensenyament, the Prosecutor's Office and the Receiver, as pointed out by the president of the Association of LGTB Families, Katy Pallàs.

For their part, the ultra-Catholics take advantage of the controversy to promote themselves and launch another campaign with the succulent slogan «The book they do not want you to read«. They are collecting signatures appealing to the censorship. According to them, the dissemination of the book "Do you know what they want to teach your child in school?”“ It does not violate any legal norm nor does it contain expressions that could be considered homophobic or fascist. However, the campaign to ban it and stop its free dissemination, simply because it does not share the dogmas of gender ideology, is an act of censorship typical of dictatorial regimes. And so we go.
