You never hid it – maybe at first – but if you look online, Wikipedia says that you are the first openly LGBT member of the Greek parliament.
No, I'm not the first. There are MPs who don't say that. Okay, I'm not the judge of everyone's life, but I'm not the first gay to enter the Greek Parliament.
But you have admitted it.
Okay. , does that mean anything? Since there was a battle for people's rights, I could not remain an apathetic spectator and not speak, while some others are the spectators.
Recently, same-sex marriage was passed in Parliament and became the law of the state. couples and childbearing. In fact, as a member of parliament you gave a very moving speech.
Yes, because it was experiential.
You believe that Greek society is mature to accept not only marriages of same-sex couples but also to have children?
And if it is not, it must be done. I believe that 1/3 of Greek society is extremely racist, fearful and unacceptable. We must all help to change this. People should stop being racist. Stop being afraid of homosexuals, foreigners, non-religious people. All people have the same rights on earth.
