Tennis ace slams Czech president’s gay veto- from Pink News- all the latest gay news from the gay community - Pink News
Czech Tennis star, Martina Navratilova has criticised her home country’s president, Vaclav Klaus for being anti-gay.

In February Mr Klaus vetoed a law allowing same-sex partnerships, saying it increased the state's power to interfere with individual lives.

On gay marriage he has previously said: "I consider marriage a traditional institution of one type. Let them arrange their relationship in any way. But I am absolutely against mixing this with family and marriage.”

Mr Klaus told the Associated Foreign Press after the bill was passed, "The adoption of this law means defeat for all of us who are convinced that the family is fundamentally important, unique and without competition."

Czech press is full of news of Navrátilová's comeback but her support for gay marriage seems to have gone unnoticed.
