Homosexual Soccer Players Destroy Photo of Bella's Eduardo Verastegui in Press Conference

MEXICO CITY, October 23, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Mexican-American movie star Eduardo Verastegui has begun campaigning against California's homosexual "marriage" law, and is incurring the wrath of Mexican homosexuals as a result.

Following Verastegui's reported decision to lead the campaign for the Hispanic organization "Viva la Familia" (Long Live the Family) enraged members of "Tri Gay", Mexico's self-proclaimed "gay soccer selection" expressed their displeasure against the pro-life, pro-family actor and entertainer.

At a press conference on October 22 in the offices of Mexico's Secretary of Health, the team denounced Verastegui. The vice-president of Tri Gay, Eduardo Velasquez, tore up a picture of the star.

Calling the action a "message of condemnation of his actions," Velasquez said that the destruction of the picture was meant "as an act of rejection of all those who promote homophobia" according to Mexico's El Universal newspaper.

Verastegui's support of California's Proposition 8, which would amend California’s constitution to define marriage as between one man and one woman and overturn the judicial activist decision approving homosexual "marriage" in the state, is likely to have a serious impact on the voting in November. "Verastegui is very well known among Latinos for his role in 'Bella', and other telenovelas," noted Maria Ramirez of Viva la Familia.

Verastegui is also participating in advertisements in favor of California's Proposition 4, which would require parental consent for abortions for minors. Pro-lifers believe that they may narrowly win because of strong Hispanic support for the measure.

Tri Gay, which bills itself as "Mexico's Gay Soccer Selection," is composed of homosexual activists who seek to legitimize the homosexual lifestyle in Mexico. They participate in "gay" soccer tournaments including the "Gay-Lesbian World Cup," and the "World Outgames" (scheduled for 2009 in Denmark).

Although it receives no government funding, Tri Gay was recently named "Embassadors Against Homophobia" by Mexico's National Center for the Prevention and Control of HIV/AIDS (CENSIDA).

I'd submit that anybody who believes soccer is for pansies never saw Nobby Stiles in his heyday...

To put it in an NFL context, think Jack Tatum and Jack Lambert rolled into one....

Right. So if you follow the “reasoning” of some here, that would make him a homosexual chef who gave up his true calling in life because he ran over some kid with his car, who happens to convince a waitress not to have an abortion, and instead adopts (or his traditional family adopts) the kid himself. Or did I miss something?

After considerable thought and a few moments of reflective consideration I believe my best response would be “No comment”. :)

my dad told me there was a confrontation at his Catholic Church yesterday between Pro and Anti Prop 8 people in the parking lot.

Good, for too long, “nice” people like Christians avoid discussion because it’s not polite, “too controversial.” But it’s a thin veneer to raging undercurrents in Catholic and Christian churches: the “progressive” pro-abort, pro-gay, anti-family segment, and the people living the true meaning of the Gospel.

If they are screaming at each other in parking lots after Mass, this is a step in the right direction, toward open, public debate, toward forcing priests and ministers to clarify values and moral theology, toward eventual legal battles and changes. For too long it’s only been the Rev. Wrights and Father Phleger’s who have been screaming and thereby influencing. Time for the pro-life side to start reacting and getting our points across, and “in your face” if the other side starts it.

I don’t think Hispanics are very tolerant of loudmouth homosexuals, so this group badmouthing Eduardo isn’t helping their own cause.
