New Zealand: civil unions not enough
LegaliseLove, a grassroots New Zealand campaign, is calling for full human rights for non-heterosexual New Zealanders.
The campaign said, although LGBT New Zealanders having the right to enter into civil unions, it was now time to finish the job.
“LegaliseLove is a campaign working towards two things: marriage equality and adoption rights for non-heterosexual New Zealanders,” the campaign stated on its website.
The campaign also said that under New Zealand law a same-sex partnership cannot adopt as a couple, but can as individuals, which creates significant legal issues for same-sex families.
LegaliseLove have planned a march to the New Zealand Parliament on October 20.
I doubt whether the National Party Government will take any notice of this action because it is headed for a landslide victory later in the year! Bad timing for social issues because it is all about economics at the moment!
I was going to move to New Zealand to get away from the hype! Now that the extreme left is dictating, I might just think again!
