Asturian-American Migration Forum

I'm curious abut what our American and Asturian members (as well as those in other countries) think about Spain's recent approval of gay marriage.

Bob, we already had a thread on this, but I would sum it up in the words of our very competent and authoritarian Vice President, Maria Teresa Fernández de la Vega ( a great character and something like ""Frau Blucher" in Mel Brooks's "Young Doctor Frankenstein"):

"It's not about taking anything away from anybody or making people do what they don't want to do, it's about giving some persons the rights they didn't have until now."

By the way, the Government is planning to launch a summer tourist campaign under the motto: "Smile! You are in Spain."

Bob, ya tuvimos un hilo sobre este tema, pero yo lo resumiría con las palabras de nuestra competente y autoritaria vice presidente, María Teresa Fdez. de la Vega (un gran personaje, algo así como Frau Blucher en la película de Mel Brooks "El jovencito doctor Frankenstein")

No se trata de quitar nada a nadie ni de obligar a nadie a hacer lo que no quiere, se trata de darles a algunas personas los derechos que no tenían.

Por cierto, el Gobierno está preparando una campaña turística bajo el lema: "Sonríe! Estás en España".
