Putting it briefly, nothing that had not been seen or heard before happened, the paper says.
The reactions were not different from those in the 1970s, when unmarried couples living together were granted the rights equal to married couples, or when single mothers with children were granted the status of a family.
Today, one family out of five in Slovenia is a single-parent family and a half of all children are born to unmarried parents. Despite prejudices that accompany such a phenomenon, they exist and they are here.
Same-sex families also exist, and children grow up in such families and many of them are taken care of better than some children in heterosexual families, Vecer says.
The paper concludes by saying that maybe Slovenia should follow the example of the countries which allow the possibility that gay couples adopt children, and decide to make gradual steps towards this goal, like in the Netherlands, for example.
