Sex education material with gay contents suspended by Brazilian president
Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff has suspended the distribution and production of gay sex education films for schools in Brazil.
By Julio Severo
The education packs, which contain gay and lesbian video scenes, supposedly aim to combat homophobia.
Government spokesman Gilberto Carvalho said President Rousseff viewed the material personally and found the footage unsuitable for youngsters.
She didnt like what she saw, Carvalho said. So she decided to suspend its distribution.
However, her reaction came after evangelical and Catholic parliamentarians and their allies in the Brazilian Congress threatened to block any upcoming legislation unless President Rousseff halted the films. They also threatened to support investigative commissions on the minister of Education, his Ministry and another powerful minister, who has been exposed for corruption.
Carvalho said President Rousseff was not, however, discontinuing anti-homophobia programs in the public schools.
The gay kits, as they are known in Brazil, were produced for the Brazilian Ministry of Education by ABGLT, the largest homosexualist group in Brazil, which received more than one million dollars in government grants to make them. ECOS, another (US-funded) Brazilian NGO that helped make them, also received more than one million dollars. The exposing of this multi-million dollar partnership in a recent Brazilian television news program produced a scandal that rocked the government plan to distribute gay kit to all the Brazilian schools.
Matthew Hoffman, in a LifeSiteNews report, said the kits, aimed at children between the ages of 7 and 12 years, were designed to encourage acceptance of homosexuality. The kits reportedly include a DVD with a story about a fourteen-year-old who goes to the bathroom, and becomes sexually aroused while watching another student urinate in the stall next to him.
Several members of the Brazilian Congress said the sex education packs encourage homosexual behavior. Even Reinaldo Azevedo, a prominent Catholic social columnist favoring gay marriage and child adoption by gays, said that the gay kit aims to promote sexual harassment against heterosexual children.
In response, ABGLT has launched a fierce campaign to defend its kits, calling its opposers homophobic.

Teaching children that homosexuality is somehow a viable lifestyle for them is child abuse of the worst magnitude.
