A local lawmaker for the Morena party in the Mexican state of Tabasco, is facing expulsion from her party after making homophobic remarks in response to a proposal for same-sex marriage legislation.
“Truth is, I would prefer it if gays did not exist,” said Candelaria Perez Jimenez, who serves as the coordinator of the bloc of lawmakers for the Morena party in Tabasco.
Perez attempted to qualify her position, saying she would not vote for the legislation due to her personal convictions, but added that she would not actively oppose the bill either on the grounds that human rights “will always be respected.”
The secretary for sexual diversity from her party's executive committee is calling for Perez to be expelled from the party “for promoting discrimination” against homosexual people.
They are like the radical left-wing party of the country.
