Croatians reject gay marriage in referendum
Croatians have voted to outlaw same-sex marriage in a
referendum sought by a Church-backed group but strongly opposed by rights
groups, partial results showed. A total of 64.84 percent of voters said
"yes" in Sunday's vote to the question of whether they wanted to
amend the constitution to include a definition of marriage as a "union
between a woman and a man".A total of 34.56 percent of voters in the
staunchly Catholic country said "no".Under Croatian law, a referendum
does not require a majority voter turnout to be valid. The centre-left
government, rights activists and prominent public figures have all spoken out
against the measure.
