QUESTION 1 People have the right to live their sexual orientation freely and the State must
Correct ensure that this does not lead to discrimination, violence or exclusion from social
Scores 1 out of 1 spaces, both for themselves and their family members.

Select one:
-a. True
Correct. The right to non-discrimination based on sexual orientation is
recognized in national and international law. This generates obligations for the
authorities, both negative (to respect the sexual and affective bonds that each
person decides to establish within the framework of legality) and positive (to
create campaigns in favor of sexual diversity and to follow up on complaints of
speeches, aggressions and crimes based on homophobia, lesbophobia and
transphobia).

o b. False

Your answer is correct.

QUESTION 2 The welfare and safety of children are incompatible with the free movement of

Therefore, the latter must repress their sexual and affective life to protect their
sons and daughters. In these cases, the State should not intervene.

Select one:
o a. True

-b. False
Correct. The interdependent nature of human rights means that the right to
form a family, the right to integrity and the right to non-discrimination based on
sexual orientation must be guaranteed simultaneously by the State. The latter
cannot refrain from intervening when any of these rights are violated.

Your answer is correct.

QUESTION 3 The sons and daughters of families composed of same-sex couples

Correct experience greater vulnerability than those of traditional families, given the extent
and entrenchment of prejudices and
Scores 1 out of 1

stereotypes. This speaks of a State omission in the area of human rights that can
no longer be tolerated. Boys and girls, regardless of the family structure they come
from, deserve the same respect.

Select one:
-a. True
Correct. Just because a discrimination has persisted over the years, favored
by the culture and the media, does not mean that it is just or legal. The
Mexican State, based on national and international regulations, is obliged to
combat prejudices and stereotypes that place certain people in unsafe
situations and potentially violate their rights. This is valid for people of sexual
diversity, as well as for the members of their families.

o b. False

Your answer is correct.

QUESTION 4 If sons and daughters from diverse families experience discrimination and
Correct aggressions, then the State must withdraw custody from parents and children.
Scores 1 out of 1
mothers to protect the best interests of the child.

Select one:
o a. True

e b. False
Correct. The best interest of the child is a concept that implies the duty to
protect the freedom and autonomy of children, their freedom and autonomy,
while protecting them from violations of their rights, with the intention that they
grow up as full and healthy adults (health being understood as the adequate
biopsychosocial balance). This interest is affected if children are denied the
right to grow up with their parents. Rather, the State should create the
conditions for diverse families to live full and secure lives.

Your answer is correct.

QUESTION 5 A democratic State has the obligation to protect and promote the
Correct the right to the free exercise of sexual orientation and to pursue those who have
Scores 1 out of 1

acts of discrimination, aggressions or crimes that have their origin in the

perception of such preference as something negative or harmful to society.

Select one:
-a. True Correct. A democratic state is democratic not only by virtue of the fact
that its government emerges from elections that are generally considered
legitimate, but also and above all by virtue of its permanent commitment to
human rights. This commitment has a double dimension in terms of
discrimination: to discourage prejudice and stereotypes, as well as
homophobia, lesbophobia and transphobia, which undermine the quality of life
of people of sexual diversity; and also to ensure that justice is sought in an
ethical and expeditious manner when any or some of their rights are violated.
o b. False

Your answer is correct.

QUESTION 6 When judges examine the situation of the children in the children's home, they

that they might experience, they must interpret the facts according to what they
believe childhood education should be.

Select one:
o a. True

-b. False
Correct. Judges, as representatives of the State in matters of law
enforcement, must abide by the law, regardless of their particular beliefs and
what they think should be the education and family model that is best for
children. And the national and international normative framework categorically
prohibits the use of sexual orientation as a justification to prevent access to
any right, such as the right to form a family and exercise paternity and/or
maternity.

Your answer is correct.

QUESTION 7 If a person experiences discrimination on the basis of his or her orientation

Correct sexual, she must bear the consequences for her actions, whether or not she
Scores 1 out of 1

be expelled from school or employment or be denied the right to form a family and
to enjoy all the protections provided by law.

Select one:
o a. True

-b. False
Correct. Sexual orientations do not constitute criminal conduct and, therefore,
the consequences of their exercise cannot mean for the individual the
restriction of any of his or her rights. On the contrary, preventing and
combating discrimination based on sexual orientation is a task that the State
must fully and decisively assume.

Your answer is correct.

QUESTION 8 To combat discrimination against homosexual persons,
Correct lesbian, transsexual, transgender, transvestite and intersex persons, the state
must assume that they have special rights that distinguish them from the rest of
Scores 1 out of 1
the population.

Select one:
o a. True

-b. False
Correct. There is no such thing as gay rights, just as there is no such thing as
"gay marriage". What there are are rights that are characterized as universal,
i.e., for all people. But this should not overlook the fact that people of sexual
diversity have historically faced greater obstacles to exercising some of these
rights.

Your answer is correct.

QUESTION 9 In order to combat discrimination against children who are members of the
Correct families of gay, lesbian, transgender, transsexual, transgender, transvestite and
intersex persons, the State must create schools and
Scores 1 out of 1

special and exclusive health services for them, so that they are not excluded or
denigrated by the rest of the population.

Select one:
o a. True

e b. False
Correct. The fight against discrimination implies the responsibility of the State
to remove obstacles to access to rights and opportunities, in the case of those
who have been historically and socially discriminated against. This is the case
with diverse families. Creating differentiated spaces, even if only to protect
them, is a new form of discrimination. All families have the right to enter the
same spaces and enjoy the same rights.

Your answer is correct.

 QUESTION 10 Those who manage private schools, health services, cultural or
Correct recreational centers have the right to decide what type of families they will
Scores 1 out of 1
allow to enter their spaces, and the authority has to respect this decision
as a case of the right to freedom of association.

Select one:
o a. True

e b. False
Correct. Non-discrimination is a right that, although the State has the
responsibility to guarantee, is not limited to relations between citizens
and the State, but also in relations between private individuals. No
institutional code of ethics or code of conduct for a private sphere can
be above the anti-discrimination clause of the Constitution.

Your answer is correct.
