Peres: We cannot take away homosexuals' right to family
President Shimon Peres expressed unequivocal support for allowing all people to marry, including same-sex couples. In an interview with Ynet on Sunday while on a visit to Mexico's Guadalajara, Peres said that "even a person who is homosexual is a human being, and he has rights. We have no power to take away (their) rights."
Peres added: "We cannot take away someone's rights because they are different. We cannot take away their right to breathe, right to eat or right to create a family." (Eyal Lehmann, Guadalajara)
