Activists want full equality for gays and lesbians

Activists from PROUD, a platform for equality, diversity and recognition, are pushing for gays and lesbians to be given rights on a par with marriage. Registered partnerships which were approved in 2006, stop short of allowing gays and lesbians to adopt children. The law on registered partnerships which took years to push through and was repeatedly rejected by the lower house was eventually approved on condition that no further demands would be made. PROUD says that society is changing and the country’s laws should reflect this.
