The scourge of the gay and lesbian agenda continues as Portugal becomes the
sixth European nation to legalize gay and lesbian "marriages".

Can you imagine the world in five years, ten years or twenty years?

Is it any wonder that Christ must return soon in order to set things

Portugal's president to ratify same-sex marriage law

BBC News

May 17, 2010


Portugal's President Anibal Cavaco Silva says he will sign a law legalising
same-sex marriage passed by parliament earlier this year.

The law had been fiercely opposed by conservatives in the Catholic country.

The ratification will make Portugal the sixth country in Europe to allow
same-sex marriage after Belgium, Spain, Norway, the Netherlands and Sweden.

The announcement comes days after Pope Benedict, on a visit to Portugal,
told pilgrims they should oppose the law.

Portugal's Constitutional Court validated the bill last month.

Economic focus

In a televised address, Mr Silva said he regretted that political parties
had failed to reach a compromise on the issue.

He said vetoing the bill would merely return it to parliament where his
decision would be overturned, at a time when MPs needed to focus on the
economic crisis facing the country.

"I feel I should not contribute to a pointless extension of this debate,
which would only serve to deepen the divisions," he said.

The bill had received parliamentary approval with the support of the
governing Socialist Party and other parties further to the left.

During a heated debate in January, Prime Minister Jose Socrates said the law
would put right an injustice that caused unnecessary pain.

But parliament rejected proposals to allow homosexual couples to adopt.

Many other countries have introduced civil partnerships, which give lesbian
and gay couples some of the rights of married heterosexuals.
