Romania Bans Same-Sex Marriage

The Alliance Defense Fund, a U.S.-based anti-gay group, claims to have guided Romania's parliament to a ban on same-sex marriage and civil unions.

Roger Kiska, a member of Alliance Defense Fund's legal counsel, is stationed in Europe. He tells OneNewsNow that Romania adopted a strong civil code enshrining traditional marriage in law. "It's defined throughout the code -- spouse as between a man and a woman," he explains. "It forbids these backdoor, so-called same-sex 'marriages' where Romanian citizens or foreigners come into the country and ask that their marriage be recognized by the country. It also does the same with civil unions." Alliance Defense Fund played a prominent role in assisting supporters in the Romanian parliament. "Through Peter Costea, who is one of our allied attorneys and the head of Alliance for Romanian Families, who's been doing excellent work in Romania, got these provisions enacted in the law," Kiska points out, "and we're just happy to see in Europe these types of protections being afforded to marriage."

3. So Romania has the same policy that Tim Kaine would like to see

here. He also opposes civil unions or any form of family rights for GLBT people, because of some religion he claims to uphold constantly as a politician. Because he thinks the idol he worships has given him the right to judge and legally oppress his neighbors. Just the same as Romania, no difference at all. Romania = the DNC= the GOP on GLBT.

5. And this helps US fundies how?

You'd think with all of the recent GLBT victories here they'd want to spend their money here, rather then in some unimportant European country most people have probably never heard of, or couldn't tell you anything about other then it's name and continent.

6. Maybe They Want.....

to find a place where their hatred has a chance of succeeding. You can bet the Orthodox Church was in on this, too. But then the OC is pretty much misogynist and homopobic by nature. This is just sickening.

The clearest thing I can think of is:
