Pin Pin: ‘We do not agree with gender ideology’

After the Supreme Court of Justice (CSJ) declared that the articles of the Family Code, which establishes that marriage is between a man and a woman and prohibits marriage between persons of the same sex, are not unconstitutional, Luis Eduardo Sagel (known as Pin Pin the Clown) has convinced that justice satisfied, as the “struggle” waged by various groups against “gay marriage” is reaffirmed.

In a letter titled “Everyone’s Struggle Was Not in Vain,” Sagel explained that justice had arrived “after more than seven years of fighting to prevent the approval of same-sex or gay marriage in Panama.”

Furthermore, according to the interpreter of Pin Pindeclaration that it is not unconstitutional prohibition of marriage between individuals of the same sex confirmed that in Panama, 90% disagree with gender ideology and all kinds of depravity that have fallen in another country under the pressure of a small group that wants to destroy our society”.

“Today the family is stronger and we are sending a very clear message to all those organizations that want to impose laws that support gender ideology and sexual perversions and his dictionary of anything and everything,” Sagel wrote.

In this sense, he assured that he will continue to fight, strengthen the core of society, the family, and be vigilant, because, according to him, other means will be sought to promote the same-sex community.

At the bottom of the inscription, Sagel signs and reads Movement to save values ​​and families.

What did the Supreme Court of Justice say?

Under the presentation of the magistrate Maria Eugenia Lopez Ariasthe plenary session of the CSJ concluded that “norms that stipulate that marriage must be voluntarily agreed upon between a man and a womanlegally capable of merging, creating and sharing a common life, and those that at the same time prohibit people of the same sex from marrying each other (Article 34 number 1 of the Family Law and 35 of the Code of Private International Law), are objectively and reasonably justified in the general interest to give priority to those communities with the potential to establish a family, they give continuity to the human species and, therefore, to society”.

The verdict indicates that there is a reality, namely that until now the right to equal marriage It is nothing more than an aspiration that, although legitimate for the groups involved, It does not have the category of human right, nor does it have a fundamental rightsince it has no conventional and constitutional recognition.

This decision had six votes for judges Carlos Alberto Vásquez Reyes, Cecilio Cedalise Riquelme, María Cristina Chen Stanziola, Miriam Cheng Rosas, Maribel Cornejo Batista and Ariadne Maribel García Angulo; the reasoned voice of Judge Olmedo Arrocho Osorio and the saving voice of Judge Angela Russo de Cedeño.
