European Court of Human Rights Says Romania Must Recognize Anal Civil Unions

89% of Romanians voted for a constitutional amendment to ban faggot “marriage,” but the referendum didn’t meet the minimum attendance threshold. Elections don’t have minimum thresholds, but those are fine for some reason.

It’s all so tiresome.

Romania has failed to enforce the rights of same-sex couples by refusing to recognize their relationships, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) said on Tuesday in a ruling which will force policymakers to expand protections for the LGBT community.

Socially conservative Romania decriminalized homosexuality in 2001, decades later than other parts of the European Union, but still bars marriage and civil partnerships for same-sex couples.

The ruling, which says the government has breached the European convention on human rights, comes after 21 Romanian same-sex couples filed challenged with the court in 2019-2020.

The couples argued Romania’s failure to recognize them as families discriminated against them in various instances including healthcare decisions, joint medical insurance, property and employment rights only afforded to married couples.

The Romanian government has three months to decide whether it wants to ask the European court to refer the case to its top chamber.

“The ruling comes with an enforcement mechanism … so that the Romanian state must account for what it is doing to recognize and adopt a form of legal protection for same-sex families,” Iustina Ionescu, the human rights lawyer who argued the case, told a news conference.


Iustina Ionescu. All fat white women in the world are basically the same person at this point.

Three legislative proposals to change civil unions to include same-sex couples filed between 2016 and 2019 have not yet made it through parliamentary approval committees, the court said, while four similar draft laws had been rejected by 2020.

A survey commissioned by LGBT rights group ACCEPT in 2021 found that 71% of Romanians said that legal recognition of civil marriage for same-sex couples would not have any impact on their lives, while only 43% were in favor of it.

I guess 71% of Romanians never heard about the slippery slope.

It’s real, well-lubed, and leads straight to your 8-year-old’s anus.
