Subject: Press Release: Our Stand On The 4th WMF Author: Soul [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 01/10/03 7:03am PST Press Release For Immediate Forwarding / Please Post Widely From: SoUL (Society of United Lesbians) Inc. Subject: To Our Brothers & Sisters in the 4th WMF This coming January 22-26, 2003 Manila will host the 4th World Meeting of Families. The call is to build up missionaries in and for Asia, giving importance to family life. We at SoUL would like to support this endeavor but for as long as we are abrasively labeled as unnatural beings, we find it rather difficult. For centuries the moral issue against us is our sexuality that has been adjudged to “defeat” the so-called procreation purpose. In this third millennium, shall we continuously suffer and taught to be ashamed of ourselves? Look at our community again, we ask. Because of the stigma of being “that unnatural” some of us are victims of domestic violence. Numerous testimonies have been shared about the physical and verbal abuses many of us had experienced simply because we decided to come out to our families. Should there be a theology that would liberate all of us from this prejudice, we will gladly support. In this light we salute those loving parents who have accepted their homosexual children in their families. We thank them for the courage and unconditional love and support – values reflective of a true Christian in these times. Kudos to same-sex couples and their children who, in their everyday struggles for social acceptance, have managed to stay united as a family. We also hold in high regard our Catholic neighbors and friends who, despite patriarchal teachings of the Church against our existence, have treated us with respect.
