Aktar kmieni din il-gimgha, in-Nazzjonalisti ppruvaw jaljenaw l-attenzjoni tan-nies billi ghamlu plejtu kbir fuq ritratt satiriku li ttella' fuq il-Facebook ta' kunsilliera tal-PL, Rachel Tua u li kien juri wicc Lawrence Gonzi bl-uniformi ta' Gaddafi. In-Nazzjonalisti tant tkazaw b'din l-istampa li hargu sahanistra stqarrija mid-Dar Centrali biex jikkundannaw lil Tua.

Izda kif jghid il-proverbju: in-Nazzjonalisti jaraw it-tibna f'ghajn haddiehor u ma jarawx it-travu li ghandhom f'ghajnejhom. Jippuntaw subajhom lejn haddiehor, imma ma jarawx l-erbgha swaba l-ohra jippuntaw lejhom.

Jekk wiehed ifettillu jidhol fuq il-profil tal-Facebook tal-Ministru Joe Cassar, fis-sezzjoni tar-ritratti, jista' jsib bosta ritratti editjati ta' Joseph Muscat. Ritratti satirici izda, li whud minnhom mhux biss huma dispreggjattivi lejh, izda anke lejn nies ohra fis-socjetà.

Ezempju klassiku ta' dan huma ritratti editjati ta' Joseph Muscat li juruh liebes ingravati differenti. Apparti l-izbalji ortografici li fihom il-kliem ta' taht ir-ritratti, jispikka wkoll il-fatt li biex jirreferu ghall-komunità LGBT, juzaw kelma dispreggjativa ghall-ahhar fil-konfront ta' dawn il-persuni.

Meta f’pajjiżna tinqala’ xi kwistjoni li dwarha l-Knisja thoss li għandha titkellem, mill-ewwel iqumu s-soltu opinjonisti li jattakkaw l-awtoritajiet tagħha u jsostnu li f’Malta mhux bħal pajjizi oħra. Iżda dawn li suppost isegwu l-aħbarijiet u l-ġrajjiet kurrenti jafu li mhux hekk qed jiġri fil-pajjizi l-ohra tad-dinja fejn fin-nofs ikun hemm kwistjonijiet fundamentali.

L-Orizzont: Gonzi u l-omosesswali

Sur Editur,

Kemm jinsa l-poplu Malti?! Kif diġà nsew li meta Lawrence Gonzi sar “mexxej” tal-Partit Nazzjonalista, l-ewwel ħaġa li kien qal kienet li hu ma jridx omosesswali fil-PN u jekk ikun jaf li fil-PN ikun hemm xi ħadd omosesswali jaqbad u jkeċċih mill-ewwel. Din hi prova oħra ta’ kemm Lawrence Gonzi huwa omofobiku mill-kbar.

Allura kif issa n-nies qegħdin jistennew u jittamaw li l-gvern ta’ GonziPN jagħti d-drittijiet ċivili lill-persuni omosesswali?

Irid ikun biss gvern Laburista li jagħti jeddijiet ċivili kollha lill-persuni ‘gay’ bħalma fis-snin sebgħin kien qabad u neħħa l-omosesswalità minn reat kriminali. Wara kollox ħadd ma għażel minn jeddu li jkun omosesswali.

“It’s not my business, but…” is a statement that sends chills down my spine.

It indicates that the person who says it is definitely going to make it his business to comment about something that he ought not to.

There is no saying what a person may see it fit to comment upon; topics that fall under this category include politics, religion, choice of career or job, finances, clothes, attitude, bringing up offspring, food, home décor, attitude… If a person is not comfortable with something, or does not understand it, or does not like it; well, then, it becomes ‘wrong’.

Same-sex couples should be allowed to marry and adopt children, according to a group of 18 to 30-year-olds taking part in the National Youth Parliament yesterday.

If we are granting them the same rights because they are taxpayers like us, why should we place them even one millimetre below us?

Two out of 31 youngsters abstained after a long debate on whether society was prepared for the changes, while the rest voted for the resolution. The debate was one of four that took place throughout the morning.

Labour leader Joseph Muscat, who is in favour of civil unions but not full marriage or adoption rights, attended the session but remained silent.
