A committed evangelical Christian who has been married twice, German Chancellor Angela Merkel has taken her stand against gay marriage.

I will try to read between Angela Merkel lines... Her statements (S) will be followed by my reflections (R).

(S) “For me, personally, marriage is a man and a woman living together. That is my concept, but I support civil partnerships,” she said. “I support us not discriminating against them when it comes to taxes, and to remove any other discrimination wherever we may find it.”

(R) "...I support US not discriminating against THEM" the US and THEM thing sounds a little controversial in the sense of making a light racial stratification statement or maybe more a spontaneous personnel affirmation than a political one, or the difference is made in the sense to make difference between gay marriage and "traditional" marriage as Putin and Russia call it.


(S) "I don’t want discrimination and [I want] equality, but I make a difference at some point," Merkel stated.
“No discrimination,” Merkel answered. But, “marriage is a man and a woman living together,” she concluded.


(R) "...I don't want discrimination, I want equality, but I make difference" hmm, hard to make difference without accused of discrimination, it is a vague statement, fine line between making difference between people and discriminating, unless you are on a higher level judging individuals without making a group more righteous than other where you overview the difference in a parallel level.
"...No discrimination, but marriage is a man and woman living together" ...this seems more a spontaneous personal reflection than a political statement aiming to be not discriminating against, people who want to "get married" too, so if they are not a man and woman, they will be denied that right? Hmmm its delicate as a subject, we should ask Putin.
