gay community and politicians’ attitude are different

About a month, when the Constitutional Court ruling of the same gender can « write » through the courts.

« At the moment we have about 50 couples. We are trying to organize legal aid to everyone and, to my knowledge, 3 couples have already sued documents, already in court for their relationship, » said former Seimas member (LP) Tomas Vytautas Raskevičius.

TV Raskevicius hopes that couples would have to wait a few months.

According to the Constitutional Court, the fact that the same sex partnership has not been legalized in Lithuania is unjustified – the Constitution is contrary to.

« It generally opens the window that it is possible to make the partnership register, but in emotionally, it is humiliation, » said Gayline.lt editor Martynas Norbut.

Mr Norbut says that the door of the courts is a poor joy.

He did not wait for the opportunity to legitimize the relationship. He married his partner in Belgium, although in Lithuania it means nothing.

« You come to the registry office, all your friends, relatives, all dressed up, festively, and have a ceremony where everyone is present. We want the same, » Norbut explained.

The Constitutional Court has ordered members of the Seimas to resolve the issue of the partnership, but the government disagrees with how to do it.

The Seimas in the Civil Code has provided for the couple’s partnerships almost a quarter of a century ago, but has not passed the detailed law so far.

« In my understanding, the Constitutional Court does not take into account the existing realities that the Seimas is considering 2 laws – he has chosen either the Law on a close relationship or the Civil Union Law and the Law on Partnership.

Thus, I. Vėgėlė offers everything that is currently related to the partnership, deleted from the Civil Code.

In his view, the Constitutional Court crossed the boundaries, as he began to create laws himself.

« The judgment of the Constitutional Court, which gives the national courts to register the partnership, in the absence of a Partnership Registration Act, where there is no partnership register where national courts should register. In my understanding, this is a legal confusion, » said I. Vėgėlė.

The gay community is ironic – maybe this should be the problem in Lithuania?

« If health care is long queues, the hospitals should be eliminated at all, » Norbut ironized.

« I. Vėgė is not only an unfulfilled president, but also an unfulfilled lawyer. He should be aware that the Constitution is directly applied by a legal act and even if such proposals are to be set by the relevant provisions of the Civil Code, the Constitutional Court’s decision remains in force, » explained TV Raskevičius.

The former chairman of the Constitutional Court is also surprised by I. Vėgėlė’s criticism.

« He did not create anything new, just acknowledged the provisions of the Law on the Entry into force of the Civil Code and the Law on the Entry into force of the Civil Code, which means that it simply can no longer be applied to that provision.

However, I. Vėgėlė’s proposal to the Seimas found intercessors.

Most of the « Peasants and Greens Union » and « Lithuanian Polish Electoral Action », but also signed a couple of the Social Democrats.

One of them is Kęstutis Vilkauskas, Chairman of the Culture Committee. He seems to be surprised by that himself.

« Because of this offer, this is certainly not ensured whether I have signed because I really should check, » he said.

That was what he did. When he called, he asked if his proposal was not signature, and I. Vėgė replied that no.

Thus, LKNK.lt journalists also checked again – K. Vilkauskas’ name was written on the white of the registered bill on white.

Be that as it may, he says that there are all kinds of opinions in the faction.

« I am certainly not somehow radical, I know how to listen to arguments and all this, but I have my own personal value, » said K. Vilkauskas.

The Social Democrats promised to adopt the Law on Partnership last last term.

The Seimas has already passed the phase of the consideration of the Civil Union, and the draft Law on the presentation of the submission.
