President Javier Milei's recent remarks linking homosexuality with child abuse have ignited widespread protests in Argentina. While Milei is lauded for his economic reforms, his conservative social views, including opposition to abortion, feminism, and LGBTQ+ rights, are increasingly dividing the nation.
BUENOS AIRES — Carlos Kambourian, an Argentine pediatrician who is gay, counted himself as a supporter of President Javier Milei’s libertarian economic reforms. That was until the outspoken right-wing leader appeared to associate homosexuality with sexual abuse in a speech last month.
Milei — a close ideological ally to U.S. President Donald Trump — argues he is in favor of freedom and equality and that quotas or gender-specific laws distort that. The presidency office declined to comment further. But in a recent interview, Milei’s Minister of Security Patricia Bullrich told Reuters, that the president’s comments had been misconstrued.
