With little international fanfare the Dominican Republic became the first country in the world last week to amend its constitution to explicitly bar same-sex marriages. As reported here earler in April, recent legislation in the Dominican legislature includes the prevention of abortion in all cases (rape and incest included).

ReplyDeleteThis reflects the view by most people that homosexual marriage is not ideologically correct. Homosexuals worldwide should try not to get "married" but create a special civil union that affords them the same rights. Marriage is defined as, and is for most people, a union between two equal partners of different sexes - not the same sex. I have no problem with a civil union, but the word marriage is for heterosexuals NOT for homosexuals.
So disappointed in Leonel, once again... and the stupid priests who tacitly support all the straight men in DR who have 10000 kids with 11000 women, while they target gay couples for prejudice.
