Given the statements at the special meeting on Tuesday, where the Senate bill sought to establish January 11 as "Symbolic Memorial Day of Nonviolence in the barracks" during which Colorado Senator Gregorio Areco made use of speech to defend the military service and state that "the barracks are not for sissies", and also indicate that there is no violence in the military headquarters and that "only fagots make allegations of violence in the barracks", says SOMOSGAY as follows:
The use of sexual orientation as an insult people is a common practice that reveals the violent and authoritarian nature of our society, the result of a culture of macho, military and military preconceptions. When this practice comes from authorities , is particularly significant, as it is not only a manifestation of the culture, it becomes a paradigm for the rest of society.
In a society like ours, marked by military violence, subjected to years of abuse and abuse by military institutions, we need to think and take action to move forward with the construction of personal, organizational and institutional relationships that promote full force of universal human rights.
Violence is a social problem, as such is the responsibility of everyone working together to create new paradigms and inclusive practices that respect the inherent dignity of all human beings.
Verbal violence, as set forth by Senator Areco, is a clear demonstration of the urgency of this reflection and speaks clearly of the fragility of the concept of respect for the dignity that should govern the functions of an official in a state of right as ours.
SOMOSGAY calls a reflection regarding these demonstrations and urges the authorities, starting with Senator Areco, to join in the construction of citizenship respectful of human rights. SOMOSGAY believe in building a future in dignity, freedom and equality for everyone, beginning with the term of strict respect for people, in all its dimensions.
