But the majority of the austrian population would vote for legalizing same sex marriage if there would be a referendum. Unfortunately politicians are deciding and not the majority (the population).

It's just that some politicians haven't arrived in the 21st century yet. The Austrian population is so much more accepting and open-minded than some politicians here. According to several surveys, about 75% of the population here would vote in favor of marriage equality if there was a referendum Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qualle1 1,385 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 In my opinion it is just a question of time before Austria and all of the other developed European countries will have to legalise "gay marriage", f. e. after offering their citizen only a "civil union" until yet.

But then i think there will be a long break and then maybe Italy will legalize it, but i dont see that happening in the next 10 years sadly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andreas85 400 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 It's always great to see some progression regarding this issue. Here in Finland gay marriage was legalized just four months ago and I can't believe it took this long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
