Angela Merkel doesn’t believe in gay marriage

“For me, personally, marriage is a man and a woman living together. That is my concept, but I support civil partnerships.”

 

Ms Merkel went on to say stress that marriage should be strictly defined as between a man and a woman, adding: “I am for registered civil partnerships. I am for our not having any discrimination in tax legislation. And wherever we still find discrimination, we will continue to dismantle it,” according to German broadcaster Deutsche Welle.

 

Explaining further, the German leader said: “I don’t want discrimination and [I want] equality, but I make a difference at some point.”

 

In May, Ms Merkel ruled out introducing same-sex marriage in Germany following the referendum in Ireland.
