Edging towards “I do”: EuropeEvery year the number of countries which recognize same-sex partnership (either through civil unions or equal marriage) increases. But not without opposition. Same-sex marriage is also, more and more, used by opponents as a way to paint an existential threat posed by LGBTIQ people and movements to families and societies as a whole. In the first of a series of OutTalks focusing on the path to “I do” we will speak to activists in Switzerland, Latvia and Montenegro. MODERATOR: Daina Ruduša, Senior Communications Manager, OutRight Action International, SPEAKERS: Kaspars Zālītis, Member of the Board, Association of LGBT and their friends Mozaika; Danijel Kalezić, President of the Board, LGBTIQ Association “Queer Montenegro”; Maria von Känel, committee member "marriage for all" and general manager of the Swiss Rainbow Families Association |
