    Oh, okay. It's "LGBTQIA" now. Even more ridiculous than I thought.

    You can't truly appreciate the ridiculousness until you look at what each letter means. The LGBA is just fine - lesbian, gay, bisexual, and asexual. Those are all legitimate sexual orientations. But the "Q" is "$#@!," which is an umbrella term to refer to all the other letters. So that obviously is senseless, just forget the multiple letters altogether and call it "Q" or leave the "Q" off. The other two are transsexual (which is a legit mental condition caused by denial of one's LGB status due to societal pressure, but not a legit sexual orientation and for Thor's sake, stop mutilating and drugging these people to confirm their mental instability) and "intersex," which apparently means, and I quote, "Someone who’s physical sex characteristics are not categorized as exclusively male or exclusively female."

    Whatever the hell that's supposed to mean.

    They need to add an "unsure" category.

    That used to be the "Q," "Questioning." Not really sure when they changed it to "$#@!." Don't care, either. I'm a minority in a minority and I don't really care to waste my time in a community that won't listen to a word against the overall agenda, even if it comes from one of their own.

    Accordingly, the complainants’ sole applicable grievance is that Article 44 of the Civil Code only recognises and provides for marriage between “persons of opposite sex”.

    The allegation of a breach of the right of property is simply a further means of seeking to show that this state of affairs is unjustified.

    With regard to marriage, Article 12 of the ECHR, which ranks as constitutional law, provides:

    Men and women of marriageable age have the right to marry and to found a family, according to the national laws governing the exercise of this right.


    Neither the principle of equality set forth in the Austrian Federal Constitution nor the European Convention on Human Rights (as evidenced by “men and women” in Article 12) require that the concept of marriage as being geared to the fundamental possibility of parenthood should be extended to relationships of a different kind.

    The essence of marriage is, moreover, not affected in any way by the fact that divorce (or separation) is possible and that it is a matter for the spouses whether in fact they are able or wish to have children.

    The European Court of Human Rights found in its Cossey judgment of 27 September 1990 (no. 10843/84, concerning the particular

    If a nation can decide what the right of marriage is, then it is not a right...It is a privilege.
