GAYLES.TV.- Every day on the planet there are news about the approval or denial of issues related to the LGTBI community: equal marriage, surrogacy, insemination of lesbians or the regulation of laws on gender identity, to mention only some. And not every day we mention because it would become a routine of interest only to some affected.
But today's case is different, so I would have assumed that Slovenia gave a resounding YES to homosexual marriage, thereby opening a gap in the wall of intolerance and homophobia present in the countries of Eastern Europe that, in one way or another, are influenced by the line adopted by Putin in Russia and by the weight of the Church, Orthodox and Catholic.
But it has not been that way, Slovenes have rejected marriage between people of the same sex in the referendum held yesterday on Sunday by a 63'36% of votes for NO. The law that was voted raised equal rights for same-sex couples in various areas, including marriage and adoption. The regulation, which had been approved in March and which remained blocked pending approval, will not be able to enter into force.
In the result has had much to do the important campaign of ultraconservative and Catholic organizations that were directly opposed to the project from the start. Organized around "Za Otroke gre!" ("For the children!), a coalition of entities that has also had the support of the Catholic Church and of the center-right Slovenian Democratic Party, have managed to shatter the dream of the approval of an equal law for LGTBI people for the first time in a European country. from the east.
The labor minister Martina Vuk He has declared that “A fear that has been artificially created has triumphed. The result is a sample that Human rights are not yet valid for everyone in Slovenia«. Distancing yourself from the statements of Ljudmila Novak, who representing the conservative party Nova Slovnija He stated: 'The result is clear. That allows us to protect the rights of children. We agree to define the rights of homosexuals as long as the family is preserved as the essential environment of children. In other words, according to this criterion, homoparental families are not only not considered families, but also represent a dangerous environment for children. Regrettable.
The Slovenian law marks a year of waiting to pass a new legislation on equal marriage. They have managed to postpone what will inevitably end, because we will not stop until our rights are recognized all over the planet.
