Two men kissing included themselves in
the camera frame as an Al Jazeera reporter discussed Spain's swing to
the right.
On Sunday, Mariano Rajoy and his
conservative Popular Party (PP) won control of Parliament in a
landslide as Spain struggles under piles of debt and sky-high
unemployment.
Under the 8-year tenure of outgoing
Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, Spain legalized gay
marriage over the objections of the Catholic Church and the PP in
2004.
Prime Minister-elect Rajoy, 56, said
during the campaign that he would “change” the gay marriage law.
“I don't like the fact that there is
gay marriage and I don't think it is constitutional,” he told daily
El Pais. “What I don't like is the word 'marriage.'”
Rajoy, who backs his party's legal
challenge to the law, added that he will consider the opinion of the
court before acting.
Two gay men showed their displeasure
with Rajoy's election by making out as a hapless Al Jazeera reporter
discussed Rajoy's win. (The video is embedded in the right panel of
