Why all the fuss about gay partnerships or divorce? Some people say that life is what happens when you’re trying to do something else.

Imagine that your marriage falls apart, and then after a number of years you fall in love with someone else. Imagine when you’re becoming an adult you realise you are different. Then you fall in love with someone of your same sex.

Imagine if the person you love most in your life is seriously ill and you are not involved in the decisions of treatment taken.

Imagine if the person you love most in your life died, and in the most difficult time of your life, you are not entitled to bereavement leave, or to organise the funeral.

Imagine if the person you love most in your life is not an EU citizen and cannot live or work in Malta.

If the big political parties cannot talk about these issues during the electoral campaign, do you think they will raise them in Parliament? I don’t think so.

All the AD candidates contesting the election signed the Malta Gay Rights Petition.

Imagine having nine MPs who understand you.

Vote for the people who will take you seriously. Vote for change. Vote Alternattiva Demokratika.
