The National Council of Youths has praised the Bill on civil unions, which will give same-sex couples the benefits granted by civil marriage.
“We believe that all people are entitled to equal human rights and this approach sends a clear message to all youth that, despite the differences that make us all individual, we are all the same,” the council said.
The council is also for offering same-sex couples the possibility of adopting children as a couple rather than as single parents, as the Bill lays down.
