It is very serious.
If EU law is allowed to take precedence it ride will ride roughshod over locally established laws in individual member states. So called ''age of consent'' varies wildly. In Sweden it is 15. In Spain it is 13. In other less liberal states it is as high as 18. In the UK it is 16, but, ironically that is only because of EU intervention which differentially classed heterosexual and homosexual activity by age, until relatively recently, intially 21 if you happened to be gay (male).
In Thatcher's Britain (assuming pre-existence of internet) it would have been an arrestable offence simply to ''promote the concept that (male) homosexual relationships are of equal validity.''' In an unprecedented step, the UK Prime Minister David Cameron ( Whose Cabinet includes ''out'' gays) has issued a repudiation and public apology for that period of Tory policy implementation.
I tend to go along with Queen Victoria. Lesbianism has never been illegal in the UK, because even when pushed to legislate against it by her government, she resolutely refused to believe ''that such disgusting practices existed''.
Quite so Ma'am
Why can't everywhere go along with the example of Mexico. Ostensibly a Catholic conservative state, where homosexuality has never been illegal, on the grounds that to legislate in that direction would be to concede power to an external state i.e. the Vatican.
Why don't all the phobes move to a sexually fascist, crisis economy, racist, dooomed-to-failure (yet again) police state like Uganda (where homosexaulity is ILLEGAL. period.) if it really bothers them that much. What a fucking cesspit. It's only a coupla years since the local council in Amal were flying the Ugandan flag over the webcam square.
SHAME ON THEM. At the same time Uganda has guys on Death Row, for the alleged offence of ''being homosexual''.
Fish will remember this. If Bex and Lex are so politically inclined as we have been led to believe, I hope that they have conveyed their disgust at Amal at their support for Uganda, which is far, far, worse than their rejection of Moodysson's attempts to film Fucking Amal, actually IN Amal.
'nuff said
