Unfuckingbelievable.

Innenminister Günther Platter (ÖVP) möchte sich bei der Behörden-Frage noch nicht festlegen. Es brauche aber eine Klarstellung, dass die Homosexuellen-Partnerschaft nicht mit einer „Feier mit Pauken und Trompeten“ verbunden sei, sagte er zum Standard. Berger möchte sich hinsichtlich der Feierlichkeiten an der Ehe orientieren. ( Read more... )

No seriously. It looks like they'll have to pass some kind of legislation sooner or later, but of course no adoption, no equal rights and if you have to do it, for god's sake do it quietly, and DON'T CELEBRATE.

Sadly it's a bit more serious (& offensive) than that. What he wants is essentially that if there has to be something like gay marriage (which his party has been fighting nail and teeth), it shouldn't be conducted at the Standesamt, where civil marriage ceremonies are usually held, but somewhere else, preferable very quietly and as away from the public eye as possible. What he said straight out in an interview is that he wants to be certain that there isn't any kind of festivity or celebration. Sign a contract (that, as it is, won't probably give you the same rights as a straight couple anyway), quietly, and leave. I'm still seething. There's the whole second class citizen thing, and people who are getting married are *supposed* to be happy and celebrating, to want to guarantee by law that they show it as little as possible is simply humiliating.

They can't do that of course, but I think it's humiliating enough that he not only expects gay couples to behave differently when they're getting married, but actually seems to want to guarantee that by law. It's like he and people like him want to barricade the door of the closet from the outside. I'm not likely to get married and i'm not really the celebrating type, but if I did, it really shouldn't make a difference whether I was marrying a woman or a man...

*ist sprachlos*

Das muss ich mal S. zeigen, der immer von den "zivilisierteren" Ländern Europas schwärmt... Wie kann man nur so komplett deppert sein.

Also, wenn ich schwul wäre, würde ich zu meiner Feier im Standesamt, oder wo auch immer, extra und wortwörtlich Pauken und Trompeten mitnehmen - vielleicht ein schönes Stück von Händel?

Sprachlos trifft es ziemlich genau. Das traurige ist, dass wir diese ÖVP Idioten in näherer Zukunft nicht loswerden werden, und sich auch nichts ändern wird, denn die SPÖ dümpelt eher visions- und programmlos und ohne charismatische Persönlichkeiten dahin, und rot-grün ist sich schon zu besseren Zeiten nie ausgegangen. Änderungen wird's bestenfalls wieder zum schlechtern in die schwarz-blau-orange Richtung geben.

Und ich hoffe wirklich, dass, wenn sie das Gesetz endlich mal durchbringen, ein paar Leute das mit den Pauken und Trompeten wirklich wörtlich nehmen. Grrr.
