Vote on Gay Rights Has Been Postponed

Yesterday the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) postponed voting on a controversial report called “Discrimination on the Basis of Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity.” The decision was made due to a large number of amendments, 80 in total.

The European Center of Law and Justice, an international organization dedicated to protecting human rights and religious freedom states why so-called discrimination based on sexual orientation has been met with such resistance.

This report, faces today a very strong opposition mainly because it notably diminishes and even threatens fundamental rights, such as the freedom of speech, the freedom of religion and conscience, the higher interest of children and the states’ sovereign interest and right to protect public morality, family and the best interests of the child.”

A vote is scheduled next time PACE meets in April.
