Homosexual Marriage And Its Performance Through The Centuries

Homosexual marriage and its performance through the centuries

For centuries, even since pre -Columbian times, our society has experienced strange situations or sensations and say strange because it is only a certain part of the total world population that passes it. One of them was to experience a feeling of attraction towards people of the same sex. This position led to the people who are in favor of it, year after year they fight that the country where they are living include their Magna Carta laws for benefit and above all that do not exclude them from society for the condition or positionin which they are.

Equal marriage is a great legal dilemma for many years;However, the Peruvian State has never recognized it as such. Today Peru is one of the six countries of South America (together with Venezuela, Paraguay, Guyana, Surinam and Bolivia) that does not have any legislation in favor of the recognition of the unions between the same sex (equal marriage). Likewise, in the last census survey that the Government carried out, prepared by the National Institute of Statistics and Informatics (INEI), did not carry out the registration of homosexual couples who lived under the same roof, with that action they made more than clear that no than notThey recognize homoparental couples.

And as a result of all this, equality of the rights and duties that those affected request to obtain, as well as a person who has contracted a heterosexual marriage is not recognized.

Just as there are countries that are not in favor of establishing laws in support of equal marriage, there are also countries that to date have already approved legislation on what has already been said. One of those registered countries is Belgium, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, United States, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Uruguay, Brazil, among others.

Next, we will see how social dynamics have moved on equal marriage and if after years of struggle so that their rights have been recognized.

What did they think and how they acted in ancient times about equal marriage?

To address a study of how the situation of homosexuals and bisexuals was in antiquity we must take into account that when they are old, they do not mean that they have been born with that idea, but that since before and now, the people who have these featuresThey are born with a defined sex and when passing time, they empirically change their way of being and not because he does not like it but are happier.

In ancient times the fact of marriage was not simply an institution based on love, but it was like an easy means to obtain benefits, so that they will ensure good stability when they are old, or also to acquire military powerthrough the proletariat. In short, it could be said that marriage was nothing more than an obligation, and instead homosexuality took it as a luxury that only 2% of the population in general were allowed to be.

• Mesopotamia

In the Sumerian period, homosexual practices were already described, specifically masculine. There were also the "Assinu", they were the priests-chants, literally meant "uterus man", it could be interpreted as homosexual.

• Egypt

A more explicit reference to homosexuality are the myths of Seth and Horus. History does not reveal that in Egyptian society they were considered homosexual relationships, but at least recognize the concept that if these cases existed.

• Greece 

Male homosexual pederasty was a custom, but this custom has never replaced heterosexual marriage. Pedartia in fact was a single way that the city accepts homosexuality.

• AMERICA Century and XV

The Aztecs were intolerable to this case, to which we know it today to know "homophobic" people. In Mexico they even killed the people who were not, the lesbians beat them.

The Maya on the contrary were a bit understandable with homosexuals, although in certain cases they killed them staying.

• Eastern Asia

In China, homosexuality remained common in the Song and Ming dynasty and remained thus until the modern era.

In Japan many of the literary works in ancient times contained in their information regarding homosexuality, as well as the existence of transsexuals. An example of this is Genji’s story.

Europe after the fall of the Roman Empire of the West the legislation had a great decline and it was stopped normally, because of that homosexuality was practiced and with too much tolerance in most of Europe in the high Middle Ages

The Napoleonic Code also had its contribution with this issue. He introduced a restriction measure related to the "Office to Public Decency" that spent time this measure used to limit in the homosexual field

An interesting fact of universal history was Nazi or fascist persecution. During the Nazi era that by the way it was led by Adolf Hitler, the homosexual people were considered less than all and that being also in that condition to the Nazis prevented them from the Aria race to remain in their territory for long centuries. Consequently, they applied article 175 of the Criminal Code, in it that if a person who performs antinatural acts (sexual relations between people of the same or sexual relative between people and animals) should abide by the consequence of the absolute loss of their rights of their rightscivilians.

The homophile movement

It was a homosexual movement that came to emerge after World War II, between 1945-1960. The term "homophile" was adopted by this organization as an option to "homosexual", to make it see that not everything is around sex but of love, from there the term was born (edge: love), so that in that wayThey can move homosexuality away and stereotyped image.

One of the main tasks that these organizations were carried out were;Publish magazines in which scientific knowledge reflects close to homosexuality, from there different gay liberation movements emerged from 1969.

Has the LGBT population been able to obtain the same rights as heterosexual people?

In the 21st century, the LGTB population is increasingly revealing, the desire that they have to recognize their rights is great. While it is true annually the percentages of increase of homosexual and bisexual people, but that is not enough for some countries, even Peru, agree that these people have the same opportunities and the same patrimonial rights as others.

Situations that reach a consequence of that there are no rules that respect this type of people are at the same time to extinguish (commit suicide or homicide). In Trujillo, this May 31, a fourteen -year -old teenager died because of the hatred that he had friends from the school for being a lesbian. The ordinary population still see these people as weirdos and think that they do not have the right to continue existing, although that perspective does not have it all, but at least 70% of residents worldwide have that harmful thought about it. And consequently of their negative perspective, they hurt them and feel motivated to perform criminal acts against this small crowd.

Homophobia in the streets

The Center for the Promotion and Defense of Sexual and Reproductive Rights (PROMSEX) explained that all crimes, offenses and attacks against LGTBI are not isolated cases. According to the information that does not provide, this last year, 8 registered murders occurred, 45 cases of lack of security of LGBTI people, 31 of those cases pitifully suffered by women Homophobia is also misogynist.

Current Peruvian situation

The Peruvian State from before and now does not give its arm to twist, because despite the fact that some of its congressmen and ministers in different periods presented bills that help to recognize the rights to the LGTB generation. For example, Congressman Carlos Bruce, who performed in that position for three consecutive periods: 2006-2011, 2011-2016, 2016-2019. Despite having been in Congress for many years, they did not support him when I present a bill in favor of the Civil Union, intolerance and religious fanaticism they prevented his bill being approved and decreed. The results obtained were: 56 parliamentarians against, 27 in favor and 17 abstentions.

Just as Peru there are other countries that still do not consider that these people are also the same as any other and as such it deserves to be recognized with the rights and duties that correspond to it as another citizen, and perhaps never change their position. However, countries of America such as Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, among others already approved laws that favor the well -being of LGTB society.

Spain declared legality to contract marriages between people of the same sex. The law was published on July 2 (2005), thus being the third country in the world to legalize the civil union. This was thanks to the Spanish Socialist Workers Party, led by José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero;Since the José Rodríguez was presented to the elections, it had a vision, which was possible to enable same -sex marriage and therefore to grant them the same rights as the heteras people.

Constitutional protection 

The principle of human dignity is the maximum or the macro principle. "The defense of the human person and respect for their dignity are the supreme purpose of society and the State". And that is what Peruvian legislation does not respect, nor is it granted to the LGTBI generation. It is affirmed in the doctrine that "human dignity is the premise of the idea of human justice, because it characterizes almost all complex contemporary societies".
