Spain Will Legalise Gay 'Marriages' - Zapatero
Thu Mar 18, 2004 04:04 PM ET
MADRID (Reuters) - Spain will legalize gay unions, although it may not call them marriages, incoming prime minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero said on Thursday, but he did not set a time-frame for the move.
"We are going to present a bill to set gay unions on the same footing as marriage," he said in an interview on Spain's Telecinco television channel.
"From a semantic point of view marriage may be a concept that does not cover this type of union, but it will have the same legal effects," he added.
During the outgoing center-right government's two terms in office, opposition politicians in mainly Catholic Spain made several attempts to legalize same-sex marriage.
Zapatero, who swept to a surprise victory in general elections on Sunday, made legalizing gay unions one of his campaign pledges.
The Vatican condemns same sex unions.

Keep an eye on the new Spanish socialist government. It is a preview of the Kerry Administration.

This may not last long, however. When the Muslims take over, the Socialists gay lifestyle will be out the window.

Sadly true. Prayers for the conservatives having this shoved down their throats.

We'll see how Catholic Spain still is, I guess - it ought to be an interesting match-up between the bishops and the social engineers. I hope to be pleasantly surprised.

More tragedy in Spain.
To: ambrose
A shameful testament to the apostasy of the Spanish people from their proud Catholic heritage. As in Massachusetts and other parts of this country, a nominally Catholic population which no longer lives its faith nor takes seriously its baptism, embraces politicians who promote secular, godless agendas.
By this type of action, they confirm everything Moslems say about the corruption and depravity of the west.

As if they weren't already a big enough laughingstock. Gay socialists?
