BUCHAREST, Romania — Thirty-seven Democrats in the U.S. Congress have told Romania’s parliament not to allow a referendum supported by 3 million of its citizens that would instate a constitutional amendment protecting the traditional view of marriage.
More than 3 million Romanian citizens have called for an election to define marriage as a man and a woman and have taken the appropriate steps to require Romanian lawmakers to decide whether to open it up to the public for a vote, according to The Christian Post.
But the 37 Democrats in U.S. Congress sent a letter Feb. 22 to Romania’s Senate president and the president of the Chamber of Deputies urging them not to let the effort progress. The letter also warns that excluding the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) community from benefits and rights could incite a violent response. (TAB)
