Zminijietna states that "while the Maltese Government is adhering to the vote taken in Strasbourg in November 2010 with regards recognizing civil marriages and civil union of foreign gay couples, is discriminating against Maltese gay couples, as it does not allow civil marriages/union between gay couples in Malta ".
"The vote that was taken in the European Parliament in Strasbourg was a vote for equality, where everyone should retain their existing rights when travelling in the EU, but this is not so for Maltese gay couples", continued Zminijietna.
Zminijietna appeals to the Maltese Parliament to legislate in favour of civil marriages or civil union for gay couple.
