The judicial situation of Epa Colombia continues

“It is a family with different patterns. A family of people of the same sex has different patterns and parameters and they cannot be judged as if they were not a same-sex couple. They are not a couple where there is a father and a mother, that is not how it works,” said the lawyer.
Bernate added that this is a complex debate within a conservative judicial system. “Hopefully this will resonate, everything is very innovative, and in a conservative judiciary it is not so easy, but we have to try”he pointed out.
Finally, the defender maintained that the refusal to grant the house arrest It constitutes gender discrimination, as it is based on traditional parental roles that do not fit the reality of Barrera Rojas’ family.
“How are they going to deny house arrest by saying that the mother can take care of the child if in a couple like this those roles of father and mother are not present? It is another way. So it cannot be ignored that we are not among equals”he concluded.
