Μετά την πρόσφατη εκλογική νίκη των σοσιαλιστών στην Πορτογαλία φαίνεται να ανοίγει ο δρόμος για τη νομιμοποίηση των γάμων ομοφύλων.
Βλέπετε, όταν πέρσι των χειμώνα απέρριπταν το σχέδιο νόμου του Μπλοκ της Αριστεράς ισχυρίζονταν ότι αυτό γινόταν για λόγους τάξης, αφού δεν περιλαμβανόταν στις προγραμματικές τους εξαγγελίες.
Φέτος το περιέλαβαν κανονικά στο πρόγραμμά τους, αν και με κατηγορηματική απόρριψη της δυνατότητας από κοινού υιοθεσίας για τα ομόφυλα ζευγάρια, την οποία προέβλεπε το απορριφθέν σ/ν, όπως επίσης περιέλαβαν στις λίστες τους και τον γνωστό λοαδ ακτιβιστή Miguel Vale de Almeida.
Οι δύσπιστοι, όμως, εξακολουθούν να αμφιβάλουν, αφού η ανάγκη σχηματισμού συμμαχικής κυβέρνησης θα μπορούσε να προσφέρει ένα καλό άλλοθι προκειμένου η ψήφιση του σχετικού νόμου να μετατεθεί στο μέλλον.
Δεν μένει παρά να περιμένουμε.

The Portuguese Civil Code currently bans same-sex marriage, even though cohabitating same-sex couples are afforded several of the rights of marriage since 2001 Portuguese Prime Minister José Sócrates stated on 21 January 2009 that, if re-elected in the September 2009 elections, he plans to introduce a bill to allow same-sex couples the right to marry. While the bill does not contemplate adoption, most LGBT organizations in Portugal support the measure as an important step towards equality. His party won the largest share of the vote on 27 September 2009.

On February 1, 2006, a lesbian couple applied for a marriage licence. Their application was refused, but the couple, Teresa Pires and Helena Paixão, have promised to challenge the ban in court, saying that it discriminates against them on the basis of sex and sexual orientation and discrimination on the basis of sex is banned on the 1976 constitution, and in 2004 sexual orientation was added as a basis for which no one should be discriminated against. In May 2007 the court rejected the motion and they have appealed to the Portuguese Constitutional Court. The Constitutional Court received the case in July 2007. Helena and Teresa's lawyer, Luís Grave Rodrigues presented their allegations on October 19, 2007, including seven legal opinions (pareceres) from Portuguese professors of law arguing that the ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional.On July 2009, the Constitutional Court decided on a 3-2 vote that the constitution does not demand the existence of same-sex marriage
Same-sex marriage was the source of debate during the 2005 legislative elections, with the winning Socialist Party failing to make a clear statement in favour of same-sex marriage. Prime Minister José Sócrates had stated that introducing same-sex marriage legislation was not in his government's agenda, yet he had not ruled out the possibility that such legislation be introduced if his government was to receive a second consecutive mandate in future elections. The youth wing of his party, as well as the other two left-of-centre parties with parliamentary representation have spoken strongly in favour of same-sex marriage, while the right remains extremely opposed to any such legislation.
A petition in favour of same-sex marriage with around 7000 signatures was delivered to the Portuguese parliament on 16 February 2006.
A bill to legalize same-sex marriage was presented to the Parliament on October 10, 2008. The bill, which did not include adoption rights, received support from the Left Bloc (BE) and Green Party (PEV), but was opposed both by the governing Socialist Party and the main opposition Social Democratic Party. It failed by a 202-28 vote.

Mα με τα κόμματα που πρότειναν το νομοσχέδιο το περασμένο φθινόπωρο δεν θα κάνει συμμαχική κυβέρνηση;

Αναρωτιέμαι τί δικαιολογία μπορεί να βρουν αυτή τη φορά...
