Żminijietna states that “while the Maltese Government is adhering to the vote taken in Strasbourg in November 2010 with regards recognizing civil marriages and civil union of foreign gay couples, is discriminating against Maltese gay couples, as it does not allow civil marriages/union between gay couples in Malta”.
“The vote that was taken in the European Parliament in Strasbourg was a vote for equality, where everyone should retain their existing rights when travelling in the EU, but this is not so for Maltese gay couples”, continued Żminijietna.

This year’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Pride Week, with the theme “I am”, will take place between June 30 and July 7.
It will be celebrated with the aim of reminding everyone that despite "living their lives, being themselves and being part of society", LGBT individuals have to fight for rights that other people take for granted, such as acceptance from parents, equal treatment in employment and free healthcare.

People who have a sexually transmitted infection need to learn to speak up and seek help instead of keeping silent and infecting others, according to GU clinic consultant Philip Carabot.
In Malta there is an ‘abysmal’ rate of people not using condoms...
Building on this, Health Minister Joseph Cassar said Maltese people still need to develop a sense of “civic responsibility” when dealing with sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Dr Carabot and Dr Cassar were speaking during the launch of the new GU clinic at Mater Dei Hospital yesterday.
