"Croatia to hold referendum on same-sex marriage ban"
Date article was written: 8 November 2013 Last updated at 13:35 ET
Summary:
There are still mixed views on same-sex marriages in Croatia. More than two thirds
of Croatia's Parliament defines marriage as the union between a man and a woman.Others started
revolts against the marriage referendum and stated that it
opposed all freedom rights that originally united Croatia. A petition supporting the idea
of man/woman marriages received 700,000 signatures. But many Croatians think that this is
discriminatory and continue to repeal the act.

My thoughts and opinions on this:
I feel that it is wrong to be so against same-sex marriages.
It doesn't really affect the others so why should they prevent others' happiness?
I don't think they should make such a big deal of it and let others do as they wish without getting into their business.
If they just let people marry who they wanted, there would be one less thing to argue
about and man/woman marriages would still take place as well as same-sex marriages and no one would disturb each others business.

Tying into culture:
A part of Croatia's culture are their morals and values.
For many years one of Croatia's morals was the belief that there should not be any same-sex marriages.
This article explains that lately there have been some oppositions to this idea.
This event is important to Croatia's culture because it shows a
potential change in their moral values because of all the idea repeals.
