Cambodia to ban foreigh gays from adopting
By PinkNews.co.uk.• 13/2/2009
New rules on foreign adoption in Cambodia will ban a range of foreigners from the process.
Gay people, single people, those on a "low income" and those who already have two children will not be able to adopt.
In meetings with Jean Paul Monchau, the French official responsible for overseeing international adoptions, Cambodian officials expressed concern about the "potential psychological effects" of adoptions by these groups, according to the Phnom Penh Post.
If a proposed law on adoption is approved by the National Assembly it will codify these exclusions. It will also make it legal for parents to put their children up for adoption - at present only orphans are eligible for foreign adoption.
Homosexual acts are legal in Cambodia, and in 2004 the King expressed support for same-sex marriage.
The concept of sexuality as understood in Western culture has little meaning in Cambodia and as a result many people who have sex with people of the same gender do not identify as "gay" or "bisexual."
A gay community has emerged in the past ten years, and the first Pride event was held in Phnom Penh in 2003.
During the 1970s the Khmer Rouge destroyed Cambodian society, killing educated people and forcing city dwellers into the countryside to work the land.
During their reign of terror they discarded Western medicine, destroyed temples and libraries. More than one million people died.
As a result Cambodia was left with many orphans, widows, and single-parent families.
Violence and poltical instability in the years following the overthrown of the Khmer Rouge meant that 1999 was the first full year of peace in 30 years.

Με λίγα λόγια: Καλύτερα τα παιδιά στην Καμπότζη να πεθαίνουν από την πείνα στα ορφανοτροφεία και στους δρόμους παρά να έχουν «ψυχολογικές συνέπειες» από το γεγονός ότι οι θετοί αλλοδαποί γονείς τους, που ένας Θεός ξέρει τι τράβηξαν μέχρι να φθάσουν στην άλλη άκρη του κόσμου και να καταφέρουν να τα υιοθετήσουν, είναι του ίδιου φύλου.

τί θαυμαστός κόσμος, ε;
ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφή... ενώ τα "potential psychological effects" σε τέτοιες τραγικές συνθήκες ορφάνιας και διαβίωσης (αν τα καταφέρουν βεβαίως) θα είναι λιγότερα!
ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήΣτενοκεφαλιές και ταμπού που στην περίπτωση αυτή όμως κοστίζουν ζωές!
...Καλύτερα να καταλήξουν σε ιδρύματα ή βορά στα κυκλώματα της εμπορίας οργάνων, της οργανωμένης επαιτείας και της παιδεραστίας παρά να βρεθούν δύο άνθρωποι που μπορούν να τα αναλάβουν και να τους δώσουν μια ευκαιρία στη ζωή.
ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφή'Εγω θέλω να ξέρω τί λένε για όλα αυτά όλες αυτές οι οργανώσεις και οι διασημότητες που κατά τα άλλα κόπτονται για τα "δικαιώματα των παιδιών". Αλλά τί λέω! Όπως πάντα τα μεγαλύτερα εγκλήματα γίνονται στο όνομα της "ηθικής"...
