ADOPCIION GAY.

THE ADOPTION GAY AND PURSUIT OF THE PEACE

For decades, humanity fought for the recognition of fundamental rights. Since the first labor laws to the latest cultural rights. All rights we enjoy today have been a consequence of years and years of social battles made by those people who sacrificed their individual welfare to achieve the joy of all his people. For this reason, These struggles are still valid, because every day there are more people who need the rights denied them for many years, now these people want that these rights must be recognized and respected, like the rights of any citizen or human common.

These people, are gay. The gay like any other human, want them to have the same rights to family and have child. In my opinion, the gay people are as normal and healthy as everyone, and for this reason, I think so is legitimate that the homosexual people can adopt children and live like any human and parents at the worldwide. So, everyone is now equal against the law and as of now, homosexuality is irrelevant and everyone is equal when it comes to initiating adoption.

Law 12 of 1991 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child states that in terms of adoption should not be considered as sex parent as a condition for the process of adopting children.

This time the Constitutional Court defines the type of family that the state must provide children to ensure their well-being should not be mediated by the sexual orientation of the adoptive parents and especially the welfare of children must take precedence over family type and condition sexual adopters. So, the law and the state complied with the principle of equality enshrined in the Constitution of 1991, because as Colombians we all have the same rights and the law can’t be discriminatory to persons who want to have sentimental relationships with people of the same sex.

The Evangelical Confederation of Colombia expressed their rejection and disagreement of this Court’s decision by publishing a press release declaring the ruling as “contrary to democracy and against human nature. The Evangelical Confederation of Colombia expressed its rejection and disagreement with the decision of this Court by issuing a press release stating the ruling as "contrary to democracy and against human nature. But the confederation, forgot that homosexuals are as human as all of us, therefore, is not appropriate to judge and condemn homosexuals for their sexual orientation, because they have the same rights as all the people, for this reason the state, neither the church and society they can discriminate and exclude them from the history recognized rights to all humans
