lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I am lucky enough to come from a country that has made major progress in recent years on the issue of gay rights. It was also thought that Spain needed to move slowly and that its society was not yet ready to take that step. Nevertheless, we took it, and nothing has happened. Nothing has happened: and moreover, there is a much greater level of happiness because people have lost their fear. Guaranteeing the right of people of the same sex to get married and make plans together does not force you to do it if you do not wish to. The fact that I can marry a man does not mean that you have to do so, but it gives me the right to do so. This is what gives us all the freedom to be able to clearly be a European Union that guarantees these principles and rights. I am lucky enough to be able to do so, like other fellow Members. However, there are countries in the European Union where it is not possible, which is something that cannot be accepted in the European Union of today. We are asking the European Commission to show the same leadership that was shown in Spain when needed, and we ask you to promote this project in the European Union today as we do not see it in the Stockholm Programme Action Plan. We are asking you for a specific plan and for guarantees that this discrimination that we are seeing and talking about will never happen again. As was demonstrated in Spain, this is only possible if there is political will. If you have that political will, we will be standing with you, but if you do no have it, we will be opposing you."@en1
