I am currently watching the news and they had a segment about the major themes in next springs election. They were immigration and gay rights. One of the big shots of the Finnish party "Kokoomus" which is the National Coalition party, as I just found out after googling it, said on the news that he believes that marriage is between a man and a woman. (NCP is a central/rightish party, kinda like the Republicans.) He also said that NCP is a patriotic party and that home values and issues fall under that patriotism. Which to me says that discrimination is patriotic. If that's the case I think Finland is in deep trouble. I had to post on the FB wall of our local wanna be politician and ask her to explain it to me as she's a member of that party.
The sad thing is that at some point this summer/fall, they were talking about supporting the "sex neutral marriage" reform but then decided against it. Was that a majority ruling or just a political decision, I can't remember. But it INFURIATES me when people who have nothing to do with my life make statements and decisions on my behalf.
Other person who was talking about this was Päivi Räsänen who as a christian democrat has been against gay rights, abortion etc...Just seeing her face makes my blood boil. Lets hope she and Sarah Palin don't ever meet!
