Same sex marriage should be legal across Europe, a senior EU official has said, as he gave his backing to campaigners who argue that unions should be recognised under freedom of movement rules.

Because leftists are more than 2% and it's a revolutionary tactic and not really about keeping the sodomites happy.
As with so many other things these days, "the issue isn't the issue".
