MADRID, September 8, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) Only 22 same-sex marriages have been registered in Spain since the law was introduced July compared to the 35,000 heterosexual marriages that took place in the same period.
The lack of interest in marriage by same-sex couples has one writer commenting that the move was a bust. The so-called need for legalizing homosexual marriages in Spain has one big problem. Hardly anybody wanted it that is except the politicians, writes Spero News writer Robert Duncan.
Duncan quotes from the Spanish newspaper La Razon, which contacted Spanish marriage registries in order to compile their statistics. This means that around two out of every 100 of the 10,474 homosexual couples registered in the National Statistics Institute census has decided to take this step, La Razon notes. The proportion is even smaller if we compare it to the roughly 35,000 hetero couples that have been married in the two months since the law has come into vigour.
Whatever happened to the so-called 5 percent to 10 percent of the Spanish population that were going to benefit from this new law? Duncan asks.
Duncan also writes that there are still legal questions, as at least two judges have refused same-sex weddings, challenging the new law as unconstitutional. The judges have asked the Supreme Court to look into the law.

Spains Gay Marriage Law Comes into Effect

That is very irresponsible by samesexuals! They should do it 5 or ten times each to bring the statistics up. Watsa mader Spaniards, don now how to cheat statistics? Learn from our RATs!
Isn't that a smear?
Some may consider it a smear -I would consider most any comparison between hetrosexual marriage and homosexual coupling to be without basis; however, in this case they are realluy just comparing numbers...
I was more referring to the use of "Homosexuals" vs. "Heteros".
Some may -I myself take pride in being a heteronormative, homophobic, non ambiguous gender, hetero...
LOL
If they can call us Heteros, can we safely call them Homos?
It's called the difference between a socialist/communist govt wanting to destroy the morals of a nation vs a Nation of Moral Christians mainly Catholics!!
I guess GOD wins again! Yeah GOD!
:)
Homosexual Agenda Ping.
I like good news. Kind of good news. I certainly hope the people in Spain who have not succumbed to the homosexual agenda insanity (and other leftist mental illness/criminality) will wake up from their stupor and vote in some conservatives, and undo the evil the present government has wrought.
Freepmail me AND DirtyHarryY2K if you want on/off this pinglist.
P.S. - BOLO for homosexual promotion on our very own FR - it's been happening lately.
moderator MIHOP or LIHOP? LOL
Gay marriage may be a big bust in Spain, but we seem to have even bigger ... and better ... busts here in the good ole' U S of A! ;-)
good double entendre. Yes 7 of 9 get my logic circuits operating at peak efficiency...
Sorry - what do those acronyms mean?
The acronyms were defined/described in a recent DUmmies Funnies posting on FR that I read -they are used by and have to do with the DUers conspiracy theories e.g. 911 & President Bush
MIHOP = made/make it happon on purpose
LIHOP = let it happen on purpose
