The Queen of Europe, Angela Merkel. Just voted against legalising same sex marriages in Germany. The vote still passed which allows the same sex to marry. She said her reason was because only a man and woman should marry.

This was after voting against allowing same sex couples to adopt.

I hope those that were hurling abuse to the DUP, will also do the same to her. I doubt it though.

The DUP probably agree with her, but people were quick to rip them off because of their views. It will be interesting to see how they think of Merkel.

The decision should be with those that want to enter a same sex marriage, not someone without any experience on the matter. A vote for yes was for change, and creates an equal community for the LGBT

ThE DUP are of the thought that being gay is “immoral, offensive and obnoxious” (Ian Paisley jr) which is a lot different to someone saying marriage is for a man and a woman. If she is a Christian then she couldn't really vote for it but at least she hasn't said the above.

Entirely disagree with her, but the DUP are part of the UK political scene, and sit in my parliament with their Religious nonsense politics that attempt to restrict the rights of ordinary British citizens in line with their god bothering drivel.

Every citizen, should have the same legal rights as every other citizen.

Thanks for that. Shows a different culture up in Northern Ireland. People are still voting for them, so the public must have similar views also.

Ireland now has a homosexual President so hopefully the view in that area will change now.
