"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, there is no doubt that it is right to fight discrimination and vigorously condemn all forms of violence. However, there are some ring-fenced issues that we cannot forget. Firstly, the family must be understood as the union of a man and a woman, completed and given full expression by the birth of children, which cannot happen between two people of the same sex.
Two homosexual people can live together freely, perhaps even enjoying forms of legal recognition on a voluntary basis. That said, there can be no talk, for example, of marriage or adoption of children. I do not think we can go against nature, which requires a man and a woman in order to procreate. Everything else is just senseless arrogance, which comes close to the absurd in some extreme cases, such as male mothers.
Everyone has the right to live their life in peace, whatever their sexual orientation, under conditions of mutual respect, but also with respect for the natural order of things."@en1
