The local news agency Galka<\/a> reports, the Mayor of Ivano-Frankivsk Ruslan Martsynkiv is convinced that the legalization of same-sex marriages doesn’t steer the country to the EU.           <\/p>\n

“Ivano-Frankivsk has to be committed to the preservation of life“, stated the Mayor on March 21 at the press conference in connection with March for life and family values.<\/p>\n

According to the Mayor, the legalization of “abnormal, unnatural laws, which legitimate abortions and same-sex marriages” doesn’t steer the country to the European integration, while such countries as Poland and Ireland succeeded in defending their Christian position, although both countries are members of the EU.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

However, to inform the Mayor, there have been same-sex civil partnerships in Ireland since 2011. Last year Ireland became the first country in the world<\/a> to legalize same-sex marriages by popular vote. By the way, the voter turnout has been around 60 per cent.<\/p>\n
