Therefore, the text of the above declaration, taken literally, does not bother me.....however, in Brazil, there is one small problem - in the part where it reads “...their equality under the law is indisputable...” should presumably mean that they, AND “everyone” else, is equal under the law etc.
But, instead of guaranteeing this so-called 'equality' to everyone here, the group is being given privileges over and above what the rest of the population does not have ...E.g. the government is trying to approve legislation whereby those who choose to identify as LGBT, enjoy a special quota to enter higher education...
Why ? first of all, if they are given this privilege, what does all this crap about 'equality' mean to the rest of society ? and second, are they mentally inferior in comparison with the rest of the population, to the point of needing government help to get into a university ? If they are, then they shouldn't even be there.
This only makes sense to Nine-finger's leftist government and to the radical PT.
