Macedonia: Gays called sick in school
28 Macedonian non-government organisations and university professors have signed a petition calling on the country’s Culture Minister to remove references to homosexuality as an illness and a deviant behaviour from state elementary school texts.
Macedonian GLBT activist Koco Andonovski told Balkan Insight that teaching homophobic viewpoints as fact in schools would have a legacy that would be felt for generations.
“This creates new generations of homophobic people and, instead of fostering democratic values, stimulates a negative prejudice towards anyone who is not heterosexual,” Andonovski said.
Earlier this year, the parliament of the former Yugoslav Republic country was rebuked by the European Commission for leaving sexual orientation out of new anti-discrimination laws.
Members of Macedonia’s GLBT community took part in a march on World Tolerance Day on November 16 to call for reform in both areas.
Macedonian law is not built on Christian ideals because Exodus 35:2 says working on the Sabbath is punishable by death no exceptions and that would require executing the Macedonian government, police officers, religious leaders, etc. who all receive paychecks for working on the Sabbath. Macedonian law is built on hypocrisy, and Jesus said hypocrites and pharisees can never enter the kingdom of heaven.
I guess the Macedonian law is only saying what most of us think anyway. Just because Gillard is too scared to stand up to the gay community. What will be next Paedophiles having a right to molester kids?
I dont see a problem with that because Macedonian law is built on Christian ideals so i dont see in the bible where it refers to adam and adam or eve and eve…so in reality it is a kind of illness.
