The U.S. sociologist Paul Cameron, president of the Family Research Institute, advises the Moldovan authorities not to adopt the antidiscrimination bill as such a law can lead to an increase in the number of cases of sexual molestation of children, Info-Prim Neo reports. “The Universal Declaration of Human Rights says a person cannot be discriminated on grounds of race, spoken language, religion, political orientation, national origin and the social status. Nothing is said there about sexual orientation. Thus, if the Moldovan authorities include the sexual orientation in the list of criteria, the others will lose value,” the sociologist said in a news conference. According to Paul Cameron, the inclusion of such a provision in the legislation would result in a higher number of cases of child sexual abuse. “Studies showed that the homosexual men are predisposed to have sexual relations with underage boys. After such a law was passed in Canada, many people had to spend large sums of money on lawyers as they were sued for discriminating the homosexuals. The European bureaucrats aim to impose such provisions on the Moldovans as well. They want to promote homosexuality in Moldova,” said the sociologist. He also said that the adoption of such a law in the United States did not produce the projected results. “More and more homosexuals can become school teachers. Is it safe to have such teachers or is it good to have homosexual priests in churches, especially after there were cases when children were sexually abused by Catholic priests?” asked Paul Cameron. He considers that Moldovan society should be firm and not allow passing the antidiscrimination law that contains the phrase ‘sexual orientation’. “I’m convinced that the people did not vote for the adoption of such a law. If it is adopted, the persons with normal sexual orientation will be less protected than the homosexuals. You will have fewer rights than the rest of the Europeans. You will no more be able to speak freely about your religion and other opinions,” said Paul Cameron. The U.S. sociologist was invited to Moldova by the Association “For Family”. He will stay until October 28.
