Gay marriage is not a human right, according to European ruling

That's I and the EU.

 

The EU is not making your argument- or your tortured logic.

 

They are interpreting the meaning of article 12 exactly as I do, in direct contradiction of your interpretation.

 

Feel free to demonstrate that.

I do get amused by Conservatives who normally are so offended by the EU- or anything European- suddenly becomes a fan if it can be used for an argument to discriminate against homosexuals.

 

Referring to article 12 of the Convention

“fundamental right of a man and woman to marry and to found a family”

"enshrines the traditional concept of marriage as being between a man and a woman [and] cannot be construed as imposing an obligation on the Contracting States to grant access to marriage to same-sex couples"

I do get amused by homosexuals and their advocates for years, constantly pointing to the European liberalism as the ideal to be emulated, not being able to accept this decision of the highest authority in European Human rights law.

And yes I usually do disagree with many European ways, but can still respect their recognition of the meaning of words and their unwillingness to judicially dictate different meanings, like many US courts do.

 

i.e. because it fits your agenda......

 

No, Id prefer an unwanted outcome over a desired outcome achieved by suspending the meaning of words.
