“At the end of the day, what we have to keep is that it’s an issue that’s moving forward and it’s an issue that he seems to want to move quickly and that’s extremely important. This is the most important of all,” he said George Kapoutzidisregarding what the Prime Minister announced yesterday about the bill concerning same-sex couples.

Speaking on the First Program, the actor and presenter referred to the example brought yesterday by Mr. Mitsotakis about the same-sex couple with childwhich is at risk of being transferred to institution if his mother, who suffers from cancer, passes away, because legally her partner is not the child’s parent.

Pointing out that “there is no bigger lie than that everything has been resolved with the cohabitation agreement”, Mr. Kapoutzidis emphasized that the issue is equality.

“There are families who honestly suffer 15, 16, 17, 18 years waiting for a paper which can cover their child and themselves. And right now that paper seems to be closer than ever. That’s number one news and the most important of what happened yesterday” he said characteristically, stressing that what he announced is in the right direction Prime Minister.

“At the end of the day, that’s what counts. I might have expected to hear something more or something better or a more supportive reason for the LGBT people, because we have suffered too much and heard too much gynecology, a lot of swearing, a lot of derogatory, a lot of insulting and a lot of belittling comments from a lot of people lately and I was hoping a little bit to help put an end to it. Maybe of course because it was kind of moderate and calm, maybe he will help after all and wanted to lower the tone and already said that the purpose is to come to an agreement. So, maybe with a second reading we can achieve this too” he added.

“And let’s say something else, because we hear many times nature says this, says the other. Here we are not going to change nature, no one will go with their partner and say hello, we have two sperm, I want to have a child. A child is always made with one sperm and one egg. That won’t change. This is nature’s way and it will continue to be so. But nature did not create marriage. THE Marriage it is a structure that man made and by making it he decided to exclude some people from it” pointed out Mr. Kapoutzidis.

Equality, he stressed, is a very important issue. “LGBT people don’t want marriage because they all want to get married. Her equality we want. When you treat me, when you give me less rights as a human being, it means that you are treating me as an inferior citizen. And if you as a state treat me as an inferior citizen, you give the okay to your citizens to treat me as inferior as well. This is the result. Insults, obscenities, attacks, murderous attacks, all of these arise because the state itself has placed us in the beta category of citizens,” emphasized Mr. Kapoutzidis.
