Parliament to debate same-sex marriage

Same-sex people will be able to conclude marriage as of next year under the amendment to the Civil Code the Czech Chamber of Deputies received today. The legislation was signed by one deputy from five deputy groups, Mayors and Independents (STAN), TOP 09, the Pirates, the Civic Democratic Party (ODS) and ANO, each. Under the amendment, same-sex people are to have the same rights in marriage as man and woman. As a result, registered partnership homosexuals may conclude now would virtually vanish.
