The Attorney General appealed the Constitutional Court's Decision which had granted Joanne Cassar, a transsexual, the right to marry earlier this month.The A.G. added the most insulting remark, that "same sex marriages are certainly diametrically opposite to the Maltese public order”. May I ask to which Maltese Public Order is he referring to? I am as Maltese as the Honorouble A.G. Maybe he is referring to the public order imposed by Malta's elite - namely the Ultra-Conservative Government and their - Do as I preach not as I do - partner, The Catholic Church.
What threat does gay marriage pose, to the A.G.? Is it the right to be next to your partner's bed-side when he's very ill in hospital or the right to take emergency medical decisions in case of a serious accident. I hope that the Honourable Attorney General's stone-cold heart receives some much-needed compassion this Christmas.
On the other hand we should commend Joanne's courage, determination and altruism for continuing this battle even though her relationship has ended, in order to pave the way for other transsexuals after her.
I wish all the Nationalist Party's Ministers, MPs, MEPs mayors and councillors who always pledge to be on the fore-front of civil rights and are now conspicuous by their silence a Merry Christmas, even though their fake smiles and empty words will once again enchant the Maltese viewers during Christmas time.
Well you will pardon me if i disagree... I am more "Malta's elite" than thebsaid AG can ever be and gay marriage is well in line with my public order
ReplyDeleteIt is about time that we start mentioning the AG by name so as to shame him.
ReplyDeleteSame sex???? Joanne is Female!
ReplyDeleteHello Russell, take a look at the A.G.'s comments and you'll understand:
ReplyDelete"The Attorney General argued a marriage contract could only take place between two people of the opposite sex who had an opposing anatomical, chromosomal and reproductive system. "Any different interpretation will lead to marriage between two people of the same sex, which is certainly diametrically opposite to the Maltese public order," he said."

I thought the whole idea behind being alowed to have your birth certificate changed was to avoid discrimination later on in life. When her birth certificate now states that this woman is in fact a woman why would there be a problem in marrying a man? Although marrying either a man or a woman shouldn't be a problem anyhow, obviously!
ReplyDeletePatrick...................I admire you but at the same time you still amaze me.............why do you seem so much surprised at the lack of Compassion???? That is the rule of the day in Roman Catholic Malta. The Maltese public order my ey...e!!! Which Malta? The Taliban Ruled Malta??? A whole lot of poisonous snakes playing it holy looking down at common mortals as if we are rubbish!!! Hehehe didn't you know that the Christmas spirit for these freaks exists as in most other things..............just on paper??? They are so freaking stupid and arrogant. I'm not gay, but if I have to go out for a coffee with you I don't say i'm going out for a coffee with a gay friend, but I'm going out with a good friend of mine. They are creating idiotic discriminative issues just because they believe that they are pure!!! So I am hereby taking the opportunity to convey my sincere Best wishes to one and all - and when I mean one & all it means..................EVERYONE!!!
ReplyDelete10 Points to Margaret Richards - I totally agree with your statement and could not have expressed myself any better. Wish you all the best for the festive season.
ReplyDeleteAgreed Gattaldo. I think all justice-minded Maltese should email Maltese AG Dr. Peter Grech this holiday season: peter.grech@gov.mt
ReplyDeleteLet him know what you think about his freewheeling and politically-motivated expenditure of public funds.
