Same sex marriages in Greece?

[Prokomenos]

You gotta be shitting me. I hope this does not go through.

ATHENS, March 31 (RIA Novosti) - Greek authorities are considering adopting a law that would allow same-sex couples to marry in a civil ceremony, the country's NET TV said on Monday. The Greek Justice Ministry pledged to establish a working group on the rights of gay couples living together, which would "analyze all aspects of the issue, international practice and the existing domestic legal and social framework."
The move follows a request by the country's National Commission for Human Rights that proposed a civil union registry that would allow both same-sex couples to marry. Parliament could approve the law in a few months, national media said
The current 1982 marriage law does not specify the gender of the groom and the bride. However, civil authorities refuse to marry same-sex couples. They say the move could result in a number of further legal difficulties, including the issue of adoption by gay couples.

The Greek Orthodox Church, which strongly opposes same-sex marriages, called the possibility a "catastrophic bomb" which threatened Greek society.
Modern Greece is a largely conservative society, strongly influenced by the dominant church. Civil marriages became legal just 15 years ago, while most Greeks still prefer a traditional Greek Orthodox wedding ceremony.
The first Gay Pride parade in Greece was held in 2005.

A catastrophic bomb it will be if the decrepit, degenerate political marionettes have their way. Anything low, immoral acts, acts of debauchery and vile corruption could be expected from our political hunchbacks. We fit in the framework of the globalists agenda. Degeneracy of society and its eventual break up is one of those point in the agenda. We are staunch and loyal allies of those spiritless scoundrels. They must be opposed .The orthodox church must remain steadfast and show fealty to its beliefs and followers. There mus not be any compromise with the satanic purveyour of sodom's and gomorrah's
