On Sunday, Dec 20th we attended one of the most pointless referendums in Slovenia’s history. It was not unreasonable for the topic it addressed. It was absurd because it was a second time around, because in March this year the parliament adopted the change of law by majority votes, and since there are currently a lot of other important things with which to deal, as we will soon feel sharp tightening of a wire around our necks. Above all, it was pointless because the marriage of homosexuals and their legal creating of families should no more be a question, and if it is, the answer can only be one – FOR! The result of Sunday’s referendum showed us a completely different image of the country’s mentality. The conservative mentality that oppresses minorities prevailed. Instead of letting some rainbow colors enter Slovenia, we filled the barb-wired frame with more blackness. In a little while we will need to cut our wrists to get a little color in this country, which is increasingly becoming similar to Tolkien’s Mordor.

Finally, let’s not forget the infamous confrontations at the national television. Those who were against argued their views with medieval bullshit. What about those who were arguing for? Did they sufficiently argue their positions?
