Catholic Church Tryin g to Outlaw Gay Marriage in El Salvador

By Kadmiel | Apr 24, 2009

I guess this is a controversial subject in many countries including san Salvador. It can be touchy based on where

 you live here in el Salvador it is very dangerous. When someone knows if you are gay or not you’re likely to

wind up in a ditch with a bullet in your head. Is it for lack of understanding? I do not know..But as in the U.S. I

do support their right to protest. But i must admit I do support the amendment to prohibit of same sex

marriages.

Members of El Salvador’s gay community hang a rainbow flag bearing the words ‘Priests paedophiles’ in Spanish outside the Legislative Assembly in San Salvador on Monday, April 20, 2009 to protest the Catholic Church’s request to legally prohibit marriages between gays.

The action is a response to the Church’s claim to have amassed 200,000 signatures on a petition in support of a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriages, which is currently before the legislature.

“The basic unit of society is the family, and consequently so is marriage, and therefore it deserves a true constitutional definition,” the Archbishop of San Salvador, Jose Luis Escobar, said at a press conference on Sunday.
