Vaclav Havel on Same-Sex Marriage

Via Andrew Sullivan, I see that the great Czech hero of democracy Vaclav Havel supports same-sex marriage:

Former president Vaclav Havel is very glad that last week, the Chamber of Deputies passed the law on registered partnership of the people with the same sex, Havel told CTK today.

"Though with a very tight margin, I am very glad that the legislation eventually made it through parliament," Havel told CTK.

...

"I was most intrigued in the debate by the absurd ideology advocated by the Christian Democrats and Klaus, who argue that family should have advantages since, unlike homosexual couples, it brings children to life. This is the concept of family as a sort of calf shed in which bulls can inseminate cows so that calves are born," Havel said.

...

"This is nothing spiritual, nothing intellectual. This is a purely material concept of family. This is what made me most upset in the debate," Havel said.
