The part on greek family law is not very neutral. Not everyone sees it that way. Some sources on unconstitutionality are certainly needed. I also removed all quotation marks, the law is indeed interpreted that way and the legislator probably meant it that way also (or else he would have clarified things during the last 23 years since the amendment). Of course this has nothing to do with my opinion on gay marriage, just trying to be neutral--Archidamus 23:59, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Delete discrimination section

I propose deleting the Gay rights in Greece#Discrimination by the authorities section. Nothing there is sourced and that the examples cited amount to discrimination is nothing more than a POV. I don't see how they are discriminatory. If they fired someone from their work for identifying as gay, then yes, that is an example of something discriminatory. Those examples are not. //Dirak 11:20, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Aha. So put a unreferenced tag. NCRTV is a public agency I suppose? So if it is fining TV stations for airing male kisses, then that corresponds to the section title. Stop nitpicking :)) Baristarim 11:35, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Unsourced that it ever took place + I hate tags; there is no point in putting up a tag next to a pack of lies (written without a doubt with the purest of motives :p). See what Jimbo had to say about it [1]. //Dirak 11:42, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

It is not the same thing. Most of the articles on Wiki lack sources. The claims here are not as far-fetched. Tags are there for a reason when they are appropriate. A good faith thing would be to contact the regular contributors to this article to ask them to provide sources. There are many articles where I left cite tags and have been waiting for months for sources. And besides, if I were someone who hadn't been to Greece and Cyprus, I would be more convinced when you said that the claims of anti-gay discrimination is "a pack of lies" :))) Baristarim 12:22, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

I have added most of the needed references. More to come. NCRTV rerfernces can be found in NCRTV's archives. Please visit NCRTV's link to the official webpage (in Greek). I also see no need in deleting the section. A more neutral tone however is perhaps more appropriate. Readers can make their own minds.Stef79 11:18, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, you did a good job cleaning up the article! Just a quick note, it is note a very good idea to wikify the dates. I know that it is done a lot in Wikipedia, however the recent concensus is not to do so. They do not bring too much to the article, and too many blui wikilinks can disturb the eye. Cheers!
