Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, July 17 (Xinhua) - According to Xinhua News Agency's international client, German Chancellor Angela Merkel expressed opposition to same-sex marriage in an online interview a few days ago. Marriage exists in heterosexuality people. But she also supports equal treatment between homosexuals and same-sex partners.
In an exclusive interview with German internet celebrity Lefloid, she opposed same-sex marriage, but emphasized: I strongly oppose discrimination. In fact, we have made some achievements in eliminating bias. 25 years ago, many people dared not admit that they were homosexuals. Once discrimination is discovered, it is necessary to eliminate it. In the interview, she insisted on her understanding of marriage: marriage means that men and women live together. This is my concept, but I support civil unions for homosexuality. When he responded to Merkel's viewpoint, he asked: Since you do not support complete equality, how can you say that you oppose discrimination? Merkel retorted that he did not discriminate, but defined marriage as a life of men and women living together.
Gay views have also been opposed by the British gay group Stonewall. A spokesperson for the group questioned whether anyone believes that same-sex partners cannot obtain the right to marriage. So how can they truly support opposing discrimination?
Suggest that Merkel sexual couples can only engage in civil unions without the right to marry and raise children. In June this year, the House of Lords decided to demand the legalization of same-sex marriage. However, conservative members of the Christian Democratic Union led by Merkel rejected this resolution. Before announcing same-sex marriage, the United States Supreme Court had just ruled that same-sex marriage was legal. US President Barack Obama openly supports homosexuality and same-sex marriage. Merkel has two marriages. The current husband is a university professor and has been rated as the most powerful woman in the world for many years.
