Angela Merkel Claims A Lesbian Couple Changed Her Long-Standing Opposition To Same-Sex Marriage

The German chancellor had previously argued that same-sex couples should not be allowed to marry, stating: “For me, personally, marriage is a man and a woman living together.”
So what changed? In 2013, Merkel also expressed worries about gay couples being allowed to adopt, saying she was concerned about the “children’s welfare”, the BBC reported. But in an interview on Monday with German women’s magazine Brigitte, Merkel explained that visiting a lesbian couple in her constituency who are fostering eight children made her reconsider her stance. She told the magazine: “If the state entrusts children to the care of such a couple, I can no longer argue so simply on the basis of children’s welfare.
So she is prepared to change the concept of the long standing historical and biblical concept of marriage because she met with one pair of lesbians.
She's prepared to ignore the absolute havoc homosexuals are causing in various countries around the world where immoral homosexuals even after they have changed marriage are now demanding changes to schools, employment, churches and when people disagree you get dragged to court after court case. You get abused as a bigot and a liar.
Answer: Politics. The lowest of all forms of argument - I will do anything to hold my seat of power.
