A survey carried out by MaltaToday in May 2012 shows that 60% of 18 to 34-year-olds agree with the introduction of marriage for same-sex couples, while only 23% of those over 55 years are in agreement.

For the Chinese, 2013 will be the year of the snake, for UNESCO, it is World Water Year, for the Vatican, the year of faith and for the European Union, the year of the citizen. For Malta, 2013 could turn out to be the year of change or the year of permanence.

Fr Colin,

• Bħalissa hawn qawmien qawwi min-naħa ta’ dawk il-persuni li twiedlu b’orjentazzjoni differenti mill-organi sesswali tagħhom.

Skont professur magħruf fil-mediċina kien stqarr li dawn l-isfortunati jitwieldu b’moħħ mhux kompatibbli mal-organi sesswali tagħhom.

Safejn huwa magħruf fid-dinja tax-xjenza, fl-iżvilupp tal-ġisem tal-bniedem ħadd u qatt ma jirriżulta li xi ħadd jista’ juri li qatt wettaq xi tibdil fl-orjentazzjoni sesswali tiegħu jew tagħha b’xi mediċini, eċċ., li setgħu qatt kellhom xi suċċess fit-tnissil bil-bidla li qatt wettaq fuq xi persuni b’orjentazzjoni mhix kompatibbli mal-organi sesswali tagħhom.
