"Madam President, Mr Wammen was right when he said that homophobia was a blemish on European values, and I would also like to thank Commissioner Reding for her clear commitment to dealing with this issue.
The European Union is respected the world over, precisely because it adheres to the rule of law and human rights, and this is why all the countries in the European Union must ensure that our legislation is right and proper and that there are no discriminatory laws, but also that concealed discrimination, stigmatisation, pushing people outside society, as it were, and marginalising them are brought to an end. This is a very important thing, especially for young people.
I have thanked Commissioner Reding and Mr Wammen, but, of course, we might also thank President Obama, the first US President to endorse gay marriages, and this is also a step forward."@en1
