The president of the Senate, Adriana Muñoz (PPD) made public her rejection of the return of the self-styled “Freedom Bus”, an initiative of the Christian Legislative Observatory, which exposes her controversial points of view on issues such as sexual diversity, gender identity and comprehensive sexuality education.

After a meeting with organizations of the LGBT community, the parliamentarian stated that she wanted to “make public our total rejection of any type of demonstration and to install a discriminatory culture in our country, a culture of hatred towards differences, towards the legitimate right to people to assume their situation and their reality whatever it may be “.

According to the legislator, the return of the initiative that already aroused controversy and acts of violence in Santiago and Valparaíso during 2017, does not agree with the progress made by legislation on matters such as gender identity, and maintained that the controversial orange bus it is a “hate bus” that delivers “discriminatory and inhuman speech.”

“We cannot accept that, in the 21st century, a culture that discriminates continues to develop. We are against that,” added Muñoz, who pledged to support all organizations to continue “defending their freedom.”

The bus reappears in Valparaíso

“We have advanced a lot in these years in legislation, sexual diversity organizations have been strengthened, we have established an agenda during the presidency that I am developing in the Senate, an articulation of more than 30 organizations to put on the political and legislative agenda all the situations that many Chileans experience in our country, “added the senator.

The Christian Legislative Observatory confirmed the return of the “freedom bus” to Valparaíso to circulate in that city next week, after the year 2017 traveled through different cities of the country, opposing a series of articles of the Gender Identity Law and the homoparental adoption project.
