Quotes

  • For some people recognizing sexual difference in marriage and family where equality is necessary and foundational would be a deception that would shake one of the foundations of our society and establish discrimination especially among children.
  • Marriage is love and affection between two parties but it is not just a generous openness to marriage in front of new categories of citizens but rather a transformation in marriage that will affect everyone It will not be a marriage for everyone but rather a marriage of a few people imposed on everyone but some people apply this opinion and some do not.
