Human Rights Watch on Feb. 25 urged Slovenia's Parliament to adopt a new Family Code proposed by the government that includes legalization of same-sex marriage and adoption.
"In recent years many European states have extended civil marriage and adoption rights to same-sex couples," said Boris Dittrich, acting head of HRW's LGBT Rights Program. "The proposed Family Code is Slovenia's chance to join others in Europe in enabling same-sex couples to participate fully in family life."
