The Czech Republic opened the door for homosexuals to adopt children


The Czech Republic has again shown it has the most liberal of the former communist Europe, opening the door to the adoption of children by homosexual couples. The Minister of Human and Minority Rights, Michael Kocáb, announced that his department has prepared a draft amendment to the law of partnerships, which allow one member of a couple of gay or lesbian to adopt a child , as exists in European countries like Spain, Sweden, Holland and the UK.
The head of Human and Minority Rights said Czech citizens "should have the same rights and should not suffer discrimination because of their sexual orientation." Nearly six years ago came into force the law on civil unions for gay couples after a long period of social struggles and institutional and legislative initiatives. According to the groups of gay and lesbian Czech legal and social status of homosexuals has improved substantially, but "still a long way to go," says Daniel B., an activist in Prague.
An EU study suggests that the Czech Republic is the only European post-communist country where a majority of people accept homosexual marriage. 52% of citizens are in favor. In Romania, this option will only approve 11% of the population in Latvia, 12%, in Bulgaria, 15%, in Poland, 17%, in Hungary, 18%, and Slovakia, 19%. However, 63% of Czechs are against the adoption of children by gay couples or lesbian.



worse legal and social situation of gays and lesbians in central and eastern Europe is substantially worse than in Western Europe, but varies from one country to another, and in recent years have taken some important steps against discrimination.
In Romania, Article 200 of the Penal Code, which considered offense homosexual relations between adults, was abolished in October 2001. Yet a survey conducted by Gallup Romania in 2008 that 74% of the population considered "having a gay friend and 57% did not want a gay or lesbian colleague in your workplace.
In Hungary, the Parliament adopted a law in 2007 in favor of gay marriage amendments passed with almost a year ago. But the rejection of homosexuals is a reality in Hungarian society and the violence of the extreme right. Homosexuals still face discrimination in Slovakia, Bulgaria and Slovenia. Although homosexuality is not banned, some psychiatrists treat this sexual preference as a disease.
In Lithuania, the Parliament adopted in the middle of last year a law on "protection of minors' which do not explicitly prohibit" advertising "on the homosexual, bisexual and polygamy. The rule was criticized by Amnesty International (AI).
The Chairman of the Lithuanian Gay League, Vladimir Simonko said that this statutory provision "institutionalized homophobia" in this country.
