Love is love by Ena K

I find the title of this a little confusing. Are you vexed or the couple in the foreground? Controversial to say the least in this day and age. If you are personified by the character in the background, shame on you.

Dear CA Jones! Yes, I am ashamed to live in such conservative country like Croatia. In my opinion, everyone has the right to love whomever they want. Love is not business of the Catholic Church or anyone else. My painting is sarcasm on what was happening in Croatia a few months ago. A constitutional referendum was held in Croatia on 1 December 2013. The proposed amendment to the constitution would define marriage as being between a man and a woman, which would create a constitutional prohibition against same-sex marriage. The proposed amendment was carried; after processing all of the ballots, the State Election Commission announced that 65.87% voted yes, 33.51% no and 0.57% of ballots were disregarded as invalid. 37.9% of eligible voters voted. The referendum was called after a conservative organization U ime obitelji (“In the Name of the Family”) gathered more than 700,000 signatures in May 2013 demanding a referendum on the subject. The initiative was supported by conservative political parties as well as several faith groups. And this song was my biggest inspiration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYSVMgRr6pw&hd=1

Thankyou, Ena. I was quite astonished to read that the 'Beautiful Homeland' was such a closed shop as regards to peoples freedom in such matters. And I agree people should be allowed to choose their partners without the permission of the church and I don't think they are really in the position to be so bold in this matter. Kind Regards Ena,
