Colombia podr\u00eda no estar muy lejos de la Rep\u00fablica Oriental pues por estos d\u00edas en la Corte Constitucional se debate si prohibir dichas adopciones constituye una vulneraci\u00f3n del derecho a la igualdad de las parejas gay y l\u00e9sbicas.<\/p>\n<p>Hace un par de semanas el Tribunal Superior de Bogot\u00e1 organiz\u00f3 un seminario internacional en el cual varios personajes de la vida p\u00fablica aprovecharon para irse lanza en ristre contra dicha posibilidad. Como era de esperarse, el Procurador General de la Naci\u00f3n abander\u00f3 esta posici\u00f3n. Nada nuevo. Ya se lo hab\u00eda dicho a la Corte en su intervenci\u00f3n p\u00fablica (la cual fue redactada por Ilva Miriam Hoyos, la misma funcionaria encargada de \u201cvigilar preventivamente\u201d la Cl\u00ednica de la Mujer de Medell\u00edn). <\/p>\n<p>Los argumentos de los opositores son fundamentalmente dos: la adopci\u00f3n de ni\u00f1as y ni\u00f1os por parte de parejas del mismo sexo vulnera la instituci\u00f3n de la familia y pone en peligro el inter\u00e9s superior del menor. <\/p>\n<p>En primer lugar, seg\u00fan estos cr\u00edticos, la Constituci\u00f3n establece que la familia debe estar compuesta por un hombre y una mujer. En segundo lugar, la adopci\u00f3n por parejas homosexuales atenta contra la salud mental y f\u00edsica de los infantes pues \u00e9stos podr\u00edan ser v\u00edctimas de violaciones sexuales, \u201cvolverse\u201d homosexuales, confundir los roles sexuales en la sociedad, o ser discriminados por sus pares. <\/p>\n<p>Estas preocupaciones, sin embargo, se basan m\u00e1s en estereotipos y mitos que en verdades legales o cient\u00edficas. <\/p>\n<p>Para empezar, no es cierto que la Constituci\u00f3n reconozca s\u00f3lo un tipo de familia. Si bien reconoce de manera especial la familia conformada por la uni\u00f3n entre un hombre y una mujer, tambi\u00e9n protege otros tipos de familia como aquellas en las que mujeres son \u201cmadres cabeza de familia\u201d, y tambi\u00e9n a las denominadas \u201cfamilias de crianza\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>As\u00ed, la Constituci\u00f3n reconoce como familia a distintas de relaciones entre personas que se vinculan de manera permanente entre s\u00ed por amor, afecto, solidaridad y la voluntad de ayudarse y socorrerse mutuamente. <\/p>\n<p>Adem\u00e1s, si la cuesti\u00f3n de fondo fuera la protecci\u00f3n de las familias formadas por pareja de hombres y mujeres, \u00bfqu\u00e9 afectaci\u00f3n le produce a \u00e9stas que parejas del mismo sexo adopten ni\u00f1os desamparados a quienes se les ha negado el afecto y el socorro de un hogar? <\/p>\n<p>En cuanto a lo segundo, la Corte Constitucional decidi\u00f3, antes de comprometerse con una decisi\u00f3n, preguntarle a varias facultades de psicolog\u00eda sobre los posibles efectos negativos que podr\u00edan padecer ni\u00f1os criados por parejas homosexuales. Los conceptos de reconocidas facultades como la de Los Andes, la Nacional, la del Valle y la Javeriana, basadas en los estudios cient\u00edficos m\u00e1s acreditados a nivel mundial, respondieron a la Corte que no existe evidencia cient\u00edfica cre\u00edble que confirme alguno de los temores y estereotipos antes se\u00f1alados. <\/p>\n<p>La Corte tampoco puede aceptar como un argumento v\u00e1lido el temor de que los menores ser\u00e1n v\u00edctimas de burlas por sus pares, pues eso ser\u00eda tanto como legalizar una pr\u00e1ctica social de discriminaci\u00f3n, resignarse a que suceda, y no hacer nada para corregirla. <\/p>\n<p>En \u00faltimas, en una sociedad en que escasean los progenitores responsables y abundan los ni\u00f1os desamparados \u00bfqu\u00e9 beneficios se obtienen negando a unos y otros compartir el amor y el apoyo mutuo que orienta a la familia? Como lo dec\u00eda Ciro Angarita Bar\u00f3n desde el comienzo de la Corte: la familia est\u00e1 donde est\u00e1n los afectos. Ojal\u00e1 la Corte de hoy as\u00ed lo entienda. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colombia could be close to joining the list of countries that allow adoption by same-sex couples<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1022],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26480","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","medium-semana-en","post-scope-aaa-not-blog"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v25.9) -
