The book “Identity and Family,” a manifesto with texts by 22 authors from various conservative circles, directed against “anti-family,” “gender ideology,” abortion and euthanasia, is raising a wave of protest. Pedro Passos Coelho, the former prime minister who presented the book, is one of the victims.
In music, several artists expressed their position. On his Instagram account, Pedro Abrunosa shared an article about the book. Tony de Matos’ song “Ó tempo return back” plays in the background.
Kapikua is more persistent. “Two silver-haired saints made a pact for a traditional family, and the great father of severity, a proponent of popular discipline, went to introduce it,” the rapper wrote in an opinion piece in JN. “They want us to lie down on the bed of Opus Dei so that we can each have twelve children. They say they are against the ‘culture of death’, against euthanasia, against abortion. They want us to be alive so that they can control our body,” emphasizes.
Ana Bacalhao chose to show excerpts from a text written by João César das Neves, in which he says that “the supposedly tyrant ladies never complained or expressed their dissatisfaction.” In turn, Elio Morais from Linda Martini e Paus criticizes “conservative little people” whose problem is not in the family, but in the fact that “they don’t know how to do anything at home.”
