Supernumerary of Opus Dei raises the banner of the gay lobby to "celebrate the day of sexual diversity"
Joaquín Lavín is mayor of Las Condes (Santiago) and one of the most outstanding members of the Opus Dei Prelature in Chile. The measure has provoked the indignation of a good part of the faithful of the prelature in the country.
Las Condes is a commune of the northeastern sector of the city of Santiago de Chile that, along with Providencia and the Santiago commune, represent the commercial, financial and tourist axis of the Chilean capital. It is inhabited primarily by families of high and medium socioeconomic status.
The mayor, Joaquín Lavín, was minister of education and social development of the country and mayor of Santiago. He has also been a candidate for the presidency of Chile. Supernumerary of Opus Dei, he is the father of seven children.
On May 17, on the occasion of the day of "sexual diversity," Lavin made a decision that is a blow to the country's advocates of freedom. The initiative - motivated by the Movilh - seeks to "celebrate the international day against homophobia and transphobia."
Lavin himself breastfed his Twitter account:
Much has changed Lavin for four years, when he said, in the same social network, that allowing gay marriage "contradicts Christian values" ... It is already known that a conservative is nothing more than a progressive with the backward clock.
The opposition has not been slow to arrive, and Patricio Bopp, councilman of the municipality, has openly expressed his rejection of the mayor's measure in the same social network:
