As far as broar civil rights for gays were ncerned, however, Krasniqi said that “the ernment supports the law agast discrimatn, which clus discrimatn agast them”.

Especially among gay men, happens that the mother has a stronger personaly than the father the fay, and when those rol are reversed, and no one knows who plays the leadg role the fay. The latter, differently om what happens velpped untri, are still fightg for their elementary rights, so talkg about gay marriage and gay fay adoptn is a stretch.
