Pandemic, stigmas and prejudices<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>As it was mentioned in the article \u201cThe pandemic of Covid 19 and the LGBTs\u201d[1]<\/strong><\/a>, in addition to all the health and socioeconomic issues they are facing, LGBT people still have to deal with stigmas and prejudice, which are being fueled by religious fundamentalists, who, irresponsibly, rashly and cruelly are taking advantage of the crisis, to increase the LGBTphobia, by now unbearable. These fundamentalists are crossing geographic, political and religious borders. <\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

By: Wilson Hon\u00f3rio da Silva, PSTU National Political Education Secretariat (Brazil)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One of the most known examples is Ralph Drollinger, an evangelical Christian, pastor of Donald Trump\u2019s office and responsible for weekly Bible studies in the White House, who has stated that coronavirus is a consequence of \u201cGod\u2019s wrath\u201d against those people who have an \u201cinclination to lesbianism and homosexuality\u201d, in addition to \u201cpeople with depraved minds\u201d, as the environmentalists, and, naturally, in the head of an ultraconservative, racist and xenophobe one, the Chinese.<\/p>\n

Also in the country which today is the epicenter of the worldwide pandemic, the influential protestant pastor and Republican Party politician Earl Walker Jackson (who is unfortunately black as well) used his TV program to popularize the disgusting idea that Covid-19 is caused by what he called as \u201chomovirus\u201d. While, another tele-evangelist, Pat Robertson, argued that the pandemic was a way God found to \u201cpay back\u201d, and punish the Supreme Court\u2019s decision to allow same-sex marriage in 50 states across the country.<\/p>\n

Evidently, representatives of the most conservative sectors of Catholicism also did not want to be left behind in this insane preaching of hatred. In the USA, a regrettable example was given by Cardinal Raymond Burke, who lives in Rome, but sent messages to his followers, defending that the \u201cgrave danger that haunts the world\u201d is due to efforts to promote sex and gender equality.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Criminals in the name of God<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is not an exaggeration to say that these gentlemen will take to their tombs a significant part of the blame for the death (only until April 8) of almost 16 thousand people \u00a0in their country alone[2]<\/a>, inasmuch as they contributed criminally to the virus expansion, not only making their followers believed that they were \u201cimmune to God\u2019s wrath\u201d, but also playing a harmful role, in resisting the implementation of social isolation and detachment \u00a0measures (acting as anointed spokesmen for another imbecile and irresponsible, Donald Trump).<\/p>\n

However, the North Americans are not alone in this genocide levity. In Mexico, for example, the Catholic bishop Ramon Castro, of Cuervanaca, sharing recklessness with the president, L\u00f3pez Obrador (who recommended kisses and hugs, instead of quarantine) also preached that young transgender people were among the \u201cevils that made God infect the world with a virus\u201d.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Atlantic, in Northern Ireland, John Carson, congressman of the country\u2019s biggest party (the Unionist) added the legalization of abortion to the reasons indicated by his peers in the USA. The very same thing that has been said by the Christian pastor Oscar Bougardt, in Cape Town (South Africa), and by the Nigerian evangelist pastor Mike Bamiloye, who added one more culprit for God\u2019s wrath: transplants made by transsexuals.<\/p>\n

Moreover, as a proof that LGBTphobia unites even \u201cmortal enemies\u201d and extrapolates religious boundaries, it is worth mentioning examples from the Jewish and the Islamic world.<\/p>\n

In Israel, Meir Mazur, an ultraconservative rabbi, stated that coronavirus was a \u201cGod\u2019s retribution\u201d, specifically against the LGBT Pride Parades. In addition, some days later, many people read (unable to hide the ironic smile) that the Minister of Health, Yaakov Litzman, likewise a Zionist, had caught the virus, after having preached, that the pandemic was a result of Yahweh\u2019s wrath against LGBT people.<\/p>\n

The news was later denied when it was released that they had confused the Minister with that rabbi. Which, however (and if true…), does not ease Litzman’s guilt about the spread of the virus, since, demonstrably, Israel\u2019s ultra-orthodox community, of which he is a member and leader, is the one that has been particularly most affected by the contagion, due to their resistance to adopting preventive measures.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, in the Islamic world, one of the worst examples comes from Iraq, where the Shiite leader Muqtada al-Sadr also blamed marriage between LGBT\u2019s for the pandemic. In Ghana, Africa, the Muslim Mission\u2019s spokesman, Sheik Amin Bonsu, called the country for a day of prayers and fasting, so that Allah\u2019s intervened against the pandemic provoked by \u201csins against the world, specially the most abominable acts, such as homosexuality, lesbianism, transsexualism besides the destruction of water sources and forests.<\/p>\n

Talking about fasting, we should not forget that, surely, here in Brazil, though (for now) not having publicly related the pandemic to his LGBTphobia, it is evident that the guy who has already said that \u201chaving a gay son is due to lack of punches\u201d and that a \u201cperson with HIV is an expense for everybody else\u201d, was also thinking about this kind of things when he convoked an irresponsible fasting, selling the illusion that the way out for the crisis was in religion, instead of providing healthcare investments, protection to the workers and social confinement for all.<\/p>\n

Coming from all sides and multiple beliefs, it is unquestionable that statements like these, however unreasonable they may seem, they strenghten LGBTphobia, and may end up generating even more violence against those who already suffer discrimination. It has been like this along History, in which there are innumerable and deplorable examples of blaming women, LGBTs, black and native people, foreigners in general and other oppressed sectors for tragedies ranging from plages to natural disasters.<\/p>\n

However, we need to remember that it is not only LGBTphobia, and the reinforcement of other oppressive speeches, that worry us in these statements. They are not \u201cjust\u201d an attack against us, the non-heterosexual. They constitute a crime against humanity as a whole; a crime that has an even broader range in moments of an economic and humanitarian crisis, when despair accentuates the search for supernatural ways out and answers to the woes and suffering which contaminate reality. These preachers of hate divert the attention from what is truly fundamental to secure survival.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In defense of life, it is not possible to put faith above science<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Furthermore, this is a crime, in several ways that complement one another, since these fundamentalists make use of the genuine despair and people\u2019s faith to radiate a prejudice pandemic, and simultaneously, to promote an attack on science, at the moment when we most need the technical knowledge, based on research, studies and methodological rigor.<\/p>\n

On the question of faith, here it is not the case to develop the subject. However, we must not fail to mention that the way these \u201cMen of God\u201d are performing is a manifestation of not only their hypocrisy, but they also serve to remind us how false their customary attacks on \u201ccommunism\u201d as the enemy of people\u2019s faith are.<\/p>\n

Just as a recommendation, we suggest the reading of a text written by Lenin in May 1909 \u2013 entitled \u201cThe Attitude of the Worker\u2019s Party to Religion\u201d<\/em> in which the leader of the Soviet Revolution points out that despite the fact that Marx, Engels and all genuine revolutionaries were \u201cmaterialists\u201d, in the sense of putting their \u201cfaith\u201d in a concrete, objective and scientific analysis of reality and believing, above all, in the deepest human power that resides in the class struggle essence, we, communists, have never seen atheism as a \u201cprogrammatic issue\u201d; we do not believe that making a \u201cdeclaration of war on religion\u201d should be the role of our party, much less, are we among those who would use faith as a weapon against humanity itself.<\/p>\n

It is true, yea, as written by the Brazilian black Marxist, Cl\u00f3vis Moura (on the book \u201cSociologia do Negro Brasileiro\u201d<\/em> \u2013 [Sociology of Afro-Brazilians<\/em>], discussing, in this case, the religions of African origin) that we believe that in a society in which men and women could live in complete freedom, in economic, political and social equality, and be able to fully develop themselves in cultural, affective and emotional terms (in other words, non- alienated persons, in all possible ways) religions will tend to \u201cslowly disappear of society, due to their lack of function and necessity to mankind\u201d.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, here and now the problem is another one, and it has all to do with the deplorable contemporary religious leaders\u2019 attitude, whose above examples are only extreme expressions of something much broader: the use of religions (where it is worth remembering, there are also the \u201cdominating and dominated ones\u201d), like Moura also wrote, as an \u201cinstrument of social, political and cultural domination\u201d, which reproduce \u201cthe levels of subjection and domination that the capitalist society creates on earth\u201d.<\/p>\n

It is not an accident that absolutely all the quoted examples have tight relations with the political institutions of their countries and even more promiscuous bonds with the interests of Capital. For this reason, the use and abuse they take of people\u2019s faith is particularly criminal, since it is not even about the beliefs that guide the population, but rather solely about what is most interesting for them: the economic and political power that could guarantee the continuity of million people\u2019s oppression and exploitation. Even if that implies many others\u2019 deaths.<\/p>\n
