Part IV.
temporarily detour I
the subject of the origins of homophobia for comment on the issue of marriage between same-sex couples in Puerto Rico.
FOR NOW, Puerto Rico, the state does not recognize and therefore does not issue marriage licenses to couples of the same genus because the Puerto Rican legislature has not passed any law that recognizes marriage between persons of the same genus for fear of losing the votes of people who are predominantly homophobic because of the cultural heritage of traditional religion which maintains its position that the practice of homosexuality is a sin.
However, wedding ceremonies between members of the same gender can not prohibit anyone in Puerto Rico.
If a couple of the same gender would not want outsiders try to interfere in important decisions of their life together in the event of serious illness and death if they can sign a legal document in which mutual heirs and representatives declare mutual if any of them can not fend for themselves physically and mentally.
have been cases where a family member of a same gender couple who died are left with all incleyendo the house and money in bank accounts, leaving the widowed partner @ in the street.
gay marriages already are a reality in Spain, Holland and other European Union nations are the countries with the highest levels of quality of life on the planet yet better than in the United States.
Although the vast majority of people in Puerto Rico are still sexist and homophobic mentality, there is a growing sector of our country that has been illuminating with respect to the human rights of the GLBT community through new scientific information related to viewing homosexuality and social events in other countries and that is the lighted sector must educate others so that the day comes that Puerto Rico will join the other civilized countries and leave behind their collective mentality savage homophobic share some Third World countries ruled by theocracies homophobic.
When Spain legalized marriage between same-sex couples, the Ayatollahs yard Christians rioted and began to climb into account stage, radio and television forum and pulpit had to reach to throw their poison loaded with homophobic hate the four corners of the building learns about God's original intentions have created male and female beings and the need to protect the institution of the family against the dangers of legalizing gay marriage ..
Little did these fools believe that experts in the interpretation of sacred texts without knowing how to read, write and speak the original languages \u200b\u200bof the Bible that gay marriage rites within the church Christian is nothing new.
Ironically, the words that are often part of religious ceremonies of marriage between a man and a woman are drawn from the Bible and were said by one woman to another woman.
Read Ruth 1: 16-17: "... Do not urge me to leave you or me except you, because wherever you go I will go, and where you lodge, I will live. Your people shall be my people and thy God my God. 17 Where you die I will die, and there will be buried. It makes me Lord and I still add that only the death part you and I ... "
Según evidencia epigráfica: Las Antiguas Iglesias Casaban Homosexuales
El "link" cibernético http://www.geocities.com/pharsea/tradition.html#more%20in%20spirit%20than%20in%20flesh provee una traducción al inglés del original griego de un antiguo rito de la Iglesia Ortodoxa del siglo 13 para la unión de una pareja del mismo género conocido como el texto de Sinai 966 (mi traducción del inglés):
"SINAI 966 " [Siglo XIII: Greigo]
Aquellos con intenciones de ser unidos vendrán ante el sacerdote. Pondrá su mano about the gospel and the second on the first hand.
Lord our God and ruler who commissioned the union of the holy martyrs Serge and Bacchus: concedles to these your servants grace to love each other and share without hate and not the cause of scandal all the days of their lives. Concedles
fidelity without shame, true love.
now Accept these your servants N and N to be united in spirit and faith to flourish in virtue and justice and love sincere.
them be joined together more in spirit than in the flesh. And they shall kiss the Holy Gospel and each other and will be closed.
This liturgy is particularly important for his sentence to two men are united, "more spirit than flesh ."... This request is exactly what one would expect if the liturgy was a celebration of sexual union among Christians, for whom the union body is important But still spiritual union ... "
