The Archbishop of Guadalajara, Mexico, Cardinal Juan Sandoval Iñiquez, is calling for respect for homosexual persons because of their dignity as humans, but he reiterated the need to defend the family in today’s society.
In reference to the campaign lead by the Secretariat of Health to combat “homophobia”, the cardinal lamented that the federal government is promoting homosexual unions. The cardinal’s statements were echoed by organizations such as the National Union of Parents and Pro-Life Mexico, which both said the campaign was promoting tendencies that would affect the foundation of marriage and the family.
Representatives of various NGO’s that are supporting the campaign threatened to step up pressure if TV and radio ads promoting the campaign were pulled.
