Academy about LGBT rights

"We are certainly not for the amendments to the existing law on same-sex marriages, but we advocate for a new law and seek the same rights as married and unmarried couples. We understand why the government is against adopting children. It is a real social situation. We want to regulate the right to adopt the biological child of our partner, and this also applies to the heterogeneous community ", finished Dota.

Journalist and blogger Gordon Duhaček praised Zagreb Pride comparing attempts maintaining similar events in the region. He believes that the ideology is activism and how Pride in this sense is political. Because of these ideologies individuals are entering activism and are trying to realize their ideas in practice.

 

"The community is still not doing enough for activists in public to demand their rights in the fullest sense," concluded Duhaček.

"Last enlargement of the European Union decreased the level and quality of protection of LGBT rights. We need a law that ultimately has to be general enough for all, without special legislation. We do not want bad legislation that will be enough for public, we seek equality of all citizens in public", said Kolman.

He pointed out exactly what some call a stumbling-block, and that is the issue of adoption of children, as a matter on which to insist.

"Then we realize the value of homosexual families or couples. My opinion is that political power can not only follow the trends imposed by the current majority, but must itself impose positive social values. Family law should regulate sexually legislation", concluded Kolman.

The round table was held at the Hotel Dubrovnik.
