WILLEMSTAD - Monsignor Luis Secco should also be present at a Curacao Pride event where the rights of gays are promoted. Gay organization FOKO was surprised that Secco was at the anti-gay marriage manifestation which was held recently.
Since the Roman Catholic Church is in favor of opening up marriage between people of the same sex, FOKO regrets that through his participation, Secco is promoting the standpoint of the event. By being present at the pride, he can show his support for equal rights for gays.
Gay organization FOKO calls the recent demonstration against same-sex marriage a progress in the process of acceptance of homosexuals in Curacao.
According to Kleinmoedig, who was also present at the event, public opinion is changing in favor of same-sex marriage. Small-mindedly, Evangelical organizations realize that there is less opposition to the acceptance of gays and are therefore organizing protests.
