The secretive Catholic group Opus Dei has filed a lawsuit
against a Chilean LGBT group whose name translates as the Movement For
Homosexual Integration & Liberation (MOVILH). The suit seeks control
of the OpusGay.cl web domain and claims that the words "Opus Gay"
create confusion in the public's mind and suggest that MOVILH's mission
is supported by the Catholic Church. The domain was registered in 2002
and the URL redirects to the group's digital magazine.
The suit further claims that the word "Opus" is "inextricably linked to
the prelature." The lawyer for MOVILH notes that other sites begin with
the word "Opus" and accuses Opus Dei of "irrational homophobia." At the
time of the domain's registration Opus Dei filed an objection against
the use of "Opus Gay" as the title of a Chilean print magazine. That
demand was granted in 2007.
