As conservatives, we can only be glad if two people legally take responsibility for each other, in good times and bad.

One thing is for sure - if you are wearing a niqab, you will never, ever find a job. You will never, ever make friends, German friends or neighbors friends. So this is obviously something that is making integration impossible.

Let's not ask whether the parents are gay or heterosexual. The important thing is who the best parents are in each individual case.

Every time I see niqabs, I feel very uncomfortable because it's the opposite of my idea of opened society.

I've always felt at home in the Church. Catholics are often more laid back than they are given credit for - presumably because at the back of their minds they realize that, if necessary, they can always confess everything to their local priest.

I'm a devout individual so I remain faithful to my church.

It's ridiculous to insinuate that the social recognition of homosexual civil unions damages families or the institution of marriage.
