Homosexual marriage

It is incredible how the Portuguese government has brought up this new subject over the last few weeks, as new flag to be waved and fought for the next legislative elections. It seems this new theme is just a way to introduce entropy in electoral debate, to divert from the more urgent debate on the economy and the country’s strategy for the next years to come. Don’t misunderstand me – I think the homosexual wedding is an important topic, and, as a matter of fact, I am for it. But, I also believe that we shouldn’t be diverted to focus on what we want our country to become, and how do we want to do it. Topics like economic strategy, corruption fight and legal system effectiveness and functionality are much more important and urgent to discuss.
