  Speaker 2: Sophie Tuscan the Plantier is found dead near her holiday home.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: The police suspect one man, but they can't make a

  Speaker 3: Paul Purge first. Though Slovakia's antiqueer government seems to think
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: it can be a part of the European Union while
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: ignoring the bloc's rules on marriage equality. It's not been
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: legalized in the country, but since last November, member states
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: have had to recognize marriages conducted elsewhere in the EU.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Slovakians Metod Spartsek and Ivan Novotni got married in Austria
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: six years ago. Authorities at home aren't playing ballbo and
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: they plan to sue.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: As long as their marriages are not recognized. LGBTQ people
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: will inevitably feel discriminated against, feel like second class citizens.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: Many will feel they have to live in the closet
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: or try to hide their sexual orientation in public, from
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: acquaintances or from their employers.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Mit Toad speaking to DW. There. Slovakia's Prime minister is
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Robert Fiso. How would we look if a same sex
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: couple could register a marriage at the civil Registry office.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: When the constitution provides only for marriage between a man
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: and a woman.
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: We would look like fools.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Thanks again to DW. Fizo, who's got a very square head,
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: has trampled all over LGBTQ plus rights since Slovakia, perhaps
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: to distract from his very square head. The European Commission
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: says his country's got legal commitments as an EU member state,
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: and in not so many words, sanctions have been threatened.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Pride Daily next, Russia's censored the LGBTQ plus references from
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: the autobiography of Pope Francis. These include the bits where
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: he says homosexuality isn't a crime, that gay and trans
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: gender people are welcome in the Catholic Church, and he
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: talks about blessing same sex unions. President Vladimir Putin's had
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: them blacked out of the printed version in Russia, where
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: the nonexistent international LGBT movement is designated an extremist organization.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Both Francis died last year and had worked to make
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: the church more inclusive. Pride Daily and Nicholas Keenan's become
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: the men's Hockey World Cups first out bisexual player. The
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: twenty nine year old has been competing for Argentina against
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Japan and later his side faces the Netherlands. And this
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: is where things could get tricky because the Netherlands Prime
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Minister Rob Yetten is Nicholas's fiance, so someone could be
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: sleeping on the couch if he plays too well. Helps
• 3:50
