"Sex between women is an abomination," says Damares at a clinic for homosexuals.

Two videos of lectures by Damares Alves, Minister of Women, Family and Human Rights, at "sexual restoration" clinics were released by Revista Fórum. In the video, the minister says that sex between "woman with woman" and between men is an "abomination." "I spoke of abomination, you edit that [in the video]," she recommended; according to Fórum, Damares asked, during the speeches, "that they not film certain moments of the lecture, because she would say 'serious' things and, therefore, would have 'problems'."

GGN Newspaper - The magazine Fórum published two videos of lectures by Damares Alves at "sexual restoration" clinics in which the new Minister of Women, Family and Human Rights says that sex with animals, between "woman with woman" and between men is an "abomination." "I spoke of abomination, you edit that [in the video]," she said, demonstrating an intention to soften her statement for dissemination.

In a second video, Damares said that "we, the Evangelical Church, are the ones who welcome sick transvestites and homosexuals." The pastor from the Assembly of God added that "we are not homophobic, we simply speak what we understand according to the Bible, [about] what is sin."

According to Fórum, during her speeches, Damares asked "that certain moments of the lecture not be filmed, as she would be talking about 'serious' things and, therefore, would have 'problems'."

The complaint came from one of the "patients" of the "treatment" who preferred not to be identified due to possible retaliation. In this report, he will be identified as "X," the portal added.

The name of the clinic and the date the video was recorded were not disclosed.
