Flurry of Lawsuits is Attempt to Prevent Criticism of
Homosexual Movement
By Matthew

BRAZIL, August 29, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com)--In recent weeks, homosexual groups
in Brazil have attempted to silence their opponents with a flurry of lawsuits
that take advantage of Brazil's pro-gay political climate.
On August 5th, the Brazilian Association of Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals, and
Transgender People (ABGLT) filed a criminal complaint against several websites
for exposing the fact that the leader of Brazil's homosexual movement, Luiz
Mott, is a promoter of pedophilia and pederasty (see LifeSiteNews' recent
coverage at http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2007/jul/07073011.html).
The sites, Media Without a Mask, the Christian Apologetics Research Center, and
Jesussite, are accused of "charlatanism, infamy, defamation, and
calumny", for having quoted Mott's numerous statements endorsing sex with
children and adolescents. The Association is asking for criminal
prosecution as well as monetary damages.
In the last week, the Association has also filed a motion against Rozangela
Alves Justino, a Brazilian psychologist who offers therapy to homosexuals who
wish to change their orientation. Brazil's Federal Council of Psychologists has
ruled that psychologists are prohibited from doing reparative therapy for
homosexuality, and ABGLT is asking that Alves Justino's license be revoked.
The organization complains that Rozangela is "an adversary of the gay,
lesbian, bisexual, transvestite and transsexual movement, and has distinguished
herself on the national scene for supporting and carrying out programs of
'reversal' and/or 'rescue' from homosexuality to heterosexuality."
It has also recently requested an investigation of Silas Malafaia, a famous
Brazilian psychologist and minister, for remarks he made on a TV program
opposing homosexual behavior, abortion, and fetal stem cell research.
According to the Brazilian homosexual website gay1.com, Malfaia "addresses
homosexuality and the struggle of homosexuals for equal rights in a clearly
discriminatory manner." It asks that prosecutors determine measures that
can be taken against Malafaia and the TV stations that broadcasted the program.
Dr. Olavo de Carvalho, who edits Media Without a Mask and who writes opinion
columns for Brazilian newspapers, says that the suits are an attempt to
indimidate the opponents of the homosexual movement in Brazil, and to attract
attention away from a criminal investigation against Mott and other homosexual
leaders for advocating child molestation and pederasty.
Carvalho told LifeSiteNews that he sees the homosexual movement's quest for
power as a subset of the larger socialist movement in Brazil, which is seeking
more and more power: "I believe they really want lots of power because the
homosexual movement is not independent. It is part of the leftist
machine. And the left now in Brazil has almost total power. They
control everything. They are more powerful than the Brazilian state
itself, and this is not enough for them. They want more and more and more
and more, and the homosexual movement is a tool of this strategy."
Although a law has been proposed to prohibit criticism of homosexuality, it has
not yet passed. Nonetheless, many Brazilian judges simply act as if such
a prohibition already exists. "They are proceeding as if the law
existed...They want to force the parliament to approve the law , so they act as
if the law were approved already. Many Brazilians believe that this law
actually exists. It's a kind of psychological fraud," said Carvalho.
Brazilian homosexuals have scored victories in the past with this
strategy. Father Luiz Carlos Lodi da Cruz, president of the Pro-life
Association of Anapolis, Brazil, was ordered to pay a fine of US$ 3,000 in 2005
for calling the pro-abortion anthropologist Debora Diniz Rodrigues
"pro-abortion". The label was deemed "offensive" by
the presiding judge. The decision was upheld on appeal.
In June of this year a coalition of protestant church groups, the National
Vision for a Christian Conscience (VINACC), was ordered to stop their campaign
to defend family values against homosexual activism. They were ordered to
remove billboards and internet announcements of their campaign, and to cancel a
public event they had scheduled, because, according to the court, their
campaign was "homophobic".
However, not all attempts to intimidate and silence opponents of homosexual
behavior have been successful.
On May 29th of this year, a Lutheran pastor in the Brazilian town of Rancho
Queimado; the Rev. Ademir Kreutzfeld, was subject to a criminal investigation
when he was accused of calling local businesses in an effort to inform them
that a newspaper they were sponsoring was promoting the homosexual agenda. The
homosexual activist who owns the paper filed charges against the pastor for
"defamation". However, on August 29th, Kreutzfeld joyfully
announced that after an brief hearing that was "conducted well" by
the judge, the complainant had dropped the charges.
Dr. Olavo de Carvalho observes that in the current political climate, such
decisions can go either way, depending entirely on the philosophy of the judge
that is chosen. "It's impossible to predict these things because
everything depends on which judge will judge your complaint, and this is
unpredictable because the selection of the judge is made at random...we never
know....anything can happen," he said.
Plan to Shut Down Blog of Brazil Pro-Family Leader
Backfires
By Matthew
Cullinan Hoffman
BRAZIL, July 30, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A recent attempt by Brazilian
homosexuals to silence two weblogs failed when Google, the hosting service,
restored them after blocking them for several days. Now the contents of
the blogs have drawn the attention of Brazilian prosecutors, who are
investigating Luiz Mott, the leader of Brazil's homosexual movement, for
pedophilia.
The first blog, by the anonymous author Jael Savelli, was blocked for only a
few hours several weeks ago, but the second, authored by Brazilian Christian
activist Julio Severo and hosted by Google's "Blogger" service at http://juliosevero.blogspot.com, was
blocked from July 16 to July 19.
The site's contents were removed and replaced with a statement that read:
"This blog is being reviewed for possible violations of the Blogger Terms
of Service, and can only be opened by the authors." Although Severo
states that Google never informed him of its reasons for blocking the site, the
removal occurred after a bitter campaign against him by homosexual activists on
Google's partner service, Orkut.com. The service is widely used by
Brazilians to socialize and exchange information, and became an organizing
point for opposition to Severo and his site.
Three days after Severo's site was suppressed, the eminent Brazilian
philosopher Olavo de Carvalho blasted the campaign against Severo in his
regular column for the newspaper Jornal do Brasil.
"A group of militant gays has secured the removal of the site http://juliosevero.blogspot.com,";
wrote de Carvalho. "The method was to spread through Google a storm of
denunciations against the author of the blog, the writer Julio Severo, accusing
him of preaching violence against homosexuals. 'He wants us to remain
masked, without the right to defense,' bellows one of those who incited the
attack in the Orkut community used as the headquarters of the initiative.
'He wants us to be subject to beatings without our aggressors paying for
it.'"
"The
accusation is manifestly false," Carvalho continued. "Anyone
who reads the blog without deformed lenses perceives that. Severo limits
himself to arguing against homosexuality based on Christian morality, which
doesn't command that anyone be beaten. I defy the militant gays to show where
he affirms that homosexuals should subject to such violence without the right
of protection of the laws."
Carvalho went on to point out that, if anyone had violated the laws, it was the
homosexuals attacking Severo based on his religion: "It is they who
committed against him the crimes defined in articles 240 and 251 of the Penal
Code: publicly defaming and ridiculing a citizen because of his religious
belief. They added to this the crime foreseen in article 138: false
imputation of a crime."
De Carvalho encouraged protestant church groups to support and defend Severo.
"Julio Severo, as a reprisal against his moral crusade, now has his social
and professional life totally destroyed. He is the most discriminated against
and persecuted of Brazilians. He cannot confront, alone, a gigantic mass
movement subsidized by billionaire foundations, that, having made itself out to
be a victim persecuted by a solitary and poor adversary, now shows a monstrous,
cynical, and perverse dishonesty."
According to Severo, numerous individuals responded by submitting complaints to
Google. The day following Carvalho's article, Google restored Severo's website,
again without any explanation.
The actions taken against the two blogs, however, drew attention to information
contained in one of the blogs against Luiz Mott, the self-described
"dean" of the homosexual movement in Brazil. The blog of
"Jael Savelli" (the pseudonym of the blog's anonymous author), had
published an article entitled "Pedophilia Now!", containing evidence
that Luiz Mott is a pedophile.
The article, which was linked to by Julio Severo's blog and republished on
another website called Midia Sem Mascara (Media Without a Mask), quoted an
essay on Mott's own website, "Meu Moleque Ideal" (My Ideal Boy).
In the essay, which is displayed at Mott's site at http://br.geocities.com/luizmottbr/cronica6.html,
Mott states that, "fundamentally, all of us gays (and non-gays) feed in
our imagination on a type of ideal person that we would like to love and have
at our side...in my case, to tell the truth, if I could choose freely, what I
would like for myself would not be a man but a boy, an 'adolescent' of the type
that the nobles of ancient Greece said was the thing most handsome and
pleasurable to be loved and [expletive]."
Mott's essay, noted Savelli's blog, is praised by users of the pedophile
website Aescola.net, who call it "a marvelous text" and
"Sensational. An article that manages to summarize my desires."
The same website contains another essay attributed to Mott ("Pedophilia
and Pederasty") in which he says that, "in my opinion, the taboo and
repression of sexual relations between adults and youth is supported by two
prejudices, that sex has a particular legal age to begin and that every
relationship between someone older and younger always implies violence and
oppression. Studies prove that even in the uterus a baby already has an
erection..." The essay goes on to give examples of children in
sexual relationships with adults in various tribal societies, and advocates as
a struggle against the "hypocrisy" of those who "deny the
inalienable right of children and adolescents to receive respect for their free
sexual orientation and their sexual freedom."
Mott also maintains what he calls Brazil's only "erotic museum",
which contains various paintings and figurines depicting human body parts and
sexual acts. As he discusses his "erotic museum" in a video
displayed on YouTube, Mott stands next to a statue of a naked child, with his
arm around its waist. During part of the video, as Mott continues to
talk, the camera moves down and focuses on the genitals of the statue.
In the backlash against Mott's militant homosexual movement, information from
Savelli's site has been given to prosecutors in the states of Bahia (where Mott
lives) and Juiz de Fora.
The
Christian Apologetics Study Center (CACP) reports that a prosecutor in the
Federal Attorney General's office in the state of Bahia, responded to their
complaint with an assurance that he would initiate procedures to begin a
criminal investigation and to remove the offending sites from the internet:
"I immediately decided to institute an Administrative Procedure to
investigate and remove the site, as well as a representation for the opening of
a Police Investigation against those responsible. Thank you very
much."
Brazilian Homosexual Leader Posts Home Addresses of
Pro-Family Activists
By Matthew Cullinan Hoffman
BRAZIL, May 20, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The most
eminent leader of Brazil's militant homosexual movement, Luiz Mott, is lashing
out at pro-family activists by posting their home addresses and filing charges
against them for "defamation".
Among those targeted are "Jael Savelli", the
pseudonym of a Brazilian woman who authors the blog "Pedophilia
No!" Last year, Savelli exposed Luiz Mott's advocacy of pedophilia
and pederasty in a famous entry entitled "Luiz Mott: Pedophilia
Now!"
Pro-Family activist and author Julio Severo is also
targeted in Mott's screed, although the address posted for Severo is not
correct. In numerous blog posts and a book entitled, “The Homosexual
Movement”, Severo has incurred Mott's ire by denouncing homosexual behavior as
immoral in accordance with the Bible. He has recently appeared on
national television blasting the regime of President Luiz Lula da Silva for its
promotion of the homosexual agenda worldwide.
"Bahia State prosecutors required the site 'Media
without a Mask', which published my article...to divulge information about my
identity and my address," Savelli told LifeSiteNews.com.
Mott has now posted her address after it somehow fell
into his hands, and Savelli is concerned for her safety. “The homosexual
movement is extremely well-coordinated and strong in my city and it wouldn’t be
prudent for me to ignore the real possibility of some sort of attack against me
or against my family,” she said.
Savelli's blog entry on Mott cited an article written
by Mott, "My Ideal Boy", which implies a preference for
pederasty. In the article, Mott states openly that, “in my case, to tell
the truth, if I could choose freely, what I would like for myself would not be
a man but a boy, an 'adolescent' of the type that the nobles of ancient Greece
said was the thing most handsome and pleasurable to be loved and
[expletive]."
In addition, in an essay posted on his website, Mott
writes that "in my opinion, the taboo and repression of sexual relations
between adults and youth is supported by two prejudices, that sex has a
particular legal age to begin and that every relationship between someone older
and younger always implies violence and oppression. Studies prove that even in
the uterus a baby already has an erection..." (see previous
LifeSiteNews.com coverage at http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2007/jul/07073011.html).
Mott’s new attack, which appears on his website at http://br.geocities.com/luizmottbr/cronica6.html,
essentially claims that because he hasn’t actually been convicted of the crime
of pedophilia, it is defamation to observe that his writings blatantly defend
the practice.
In addition to Saveli and Severo, several other
prominent pro-family activists are targeted in the post, including Eliezer de
Mello Silveira, a lawyer for the Christian Apologetics Research Center,
Rosangela Justino, a psychologist who does reparative therapy for homosexuals
who wish to change their orientation, and Olavo de Carvalho, a Brazilian
philosopher now living in the United States who edits the internet magazine
Midia Sem Mascara (Media without a Mask), and who republished Saveli’s exposé
of Mott. In addition to Jael Savelli’s address, Mello Silveira’s was
posted as well.
Severo, like Savelli, is apparently being investigated
by Brazilian police in response to Mott’s criminal complaints, which Mott says
he filed in late 2007 and in January 2008. According to the IP log for visitors
to his blog, they have accessed his site almost 50 times in recent days.
Mott’s post and the investigations by Brazilian
authorities are the latest episode in a series of legal and personal attacks
that have been made against pro-family activists in Brazil by the country’s
powerful homosexual movement, which enjoys open government support and
financing.
Mott, who is known in Brazil as the "Dean"
of the nation's homosexual movement, participated in the creation of the Brazilian
government's "Brazil without Homophobia" program, which seeks to
promote social approval of homosexuality and “non-discrimination”. Socialist
President Luiz Lula’s administration has also awarded Mott with the Medal of
the “Order of Cultural Merit”.
Mott has made thinly veiled threats against pro-family
activist Julio Severo in the past, speaking of condemning him to
"perpetual imprisonment in Sodom and Gomorrah". Other
homosexuals have posted more explicit and obscene threats against Severo.
He remains in hiding from homosexual groups as well as their government allies,
which he says operate with impunity in Brazil and prosecute Christians for
objecting to homosexuality, even though the government has failed to pass its
proposed “homophobia law”.
“Lula and his socialist allies have been involved in
serious scandals and they are under serious charges, but he has been virtually
untouchable by the Brazilian courts. Even with appropriate laws against what he
has done, he has managed to get off all charges,” Severo told LifeSiteNews.com.
“There is no anti-homophobia law against our right to
defend Bible principles on homosexuality, but the same justice system that has
let corrupt politicians escape undeservedly can condemn me cowardly.”
