Alliance Defending Freedom, among the leading opponents of same-sex marriage in the U.S. courts, is pressing that message abroad, this time before the Constitutional Court of Slovakia.
The court is considering a petition seeking a referendum submitted by the Slovak Alliance for Family. The measure calls for a vote on four questions:
- The definition of a marriage as a union of one man and one woman.
- A requirement that adoptive parents be married.
- Prohibiting registered partnerships between gay and lesbian couples.
- Permitting parents to opt out their children from sex education classes taught at public schools.
