of Legislative Decree No. 716, the Consumer Protection Law. The complainant included as his main evidence: (i) his own testimony, (ii) the television report of August 17, 2004, from the Reporte Semanal television program; and, (iii) another video of a report by the “Panorama” program about a discriminatory incident committed in Supermercado Santa Isabel against members of the Raíz Diversidad Sexual collective two days prior to the incident involving Mr. Olivera Fuentes. 53 53. On October 20, 2004, Supermercados Peruanos S.A. responded to the complaint, arguing that Mr. Olivera failed to prove the existence of an act of discrimination against him. The company stated that its staff had asked Mr. Olivera and his partner to “respect the rights of other customers to the quiet, peaceful and appropriate use of the facilities,” due to the discomfort of other customers because of their behavior in front of their children. According to the company, the purpose of the intervention was to ensure “respect for morals and good manners” 54 and the best interests of the children who were playing in the area adjacent to the tables of the supermarket cafeteria, 55 concluding that the couple’s behavior - given the circumstances in which they found themselves - was contrary to “public morality and decency.” 56 Furthermore, in its defense briefs, Supermercados Peruanos S.A. attached letters of support in which customers expressed their disapproval of the displays of affection shown by Mr. Olivera and his partner. 57 54. The company also included, as an annex to the evidence, an expert report by the psychiatrist R.F. entitled “Medical-psychological report on the significance of limiting public displays of erotic behavior between same-sex couples and its effect on children who circumstantially witness such situation.” The report emphasized the “importance,” for the “normal psychosexual development of children,” of a family environment composed of “a father and a mother as a reference for their sexual identification and understanding of complementary relationships between men and women.” 58 According to the report, the effect on a child of “witnessing erotic scenes” consisting of “kissing, hugging, and caresses” between a same-sex couple “varies according to the child’s age and the degree of understanding that he or she may have of a given situation, but it will never be neutral.” The report also warned that “erotic homosexual relationships” could disrupt children’s understanding of “affective relationships between a man and a woman, based on what they see in their own family,” causing them “insecurity and anguish.” 59 The report recommended that the CPC should, inter alia, “bear in mind the negative tranquility of its customers or other objective and justified reasons.
