The Christian Coalition claimed a complete victory. It had not only won the referendum required, by a 63-36% margin of the popular vote, but also surpassed the required quorum of 30% of eligible voters by 7%. Its leaders, Metka Zevnik and Aleš Primc, issued a brief note of triumph, stating, "We have succeeded! Congratulations to all of you who in the referendum contributed to the excellent outcome! We are grateful to all supporters and sympathizers and their families for all the support and excellent work."

A referendum earlier this year in Slovakia produced an astonishing 94% majority against same-sex "marriage," but only 21 % of the electorate participated, far below the 50% threshold required. (Last year, Slovakian legislators enshrined heterosexual marriage in the constitution.) A Croatian referendum in 2013 produced the same margin as Slovenia's and met the threshold to enshrine marriage in the constitution.

The Slovenian referendum overturns a law passed in March that legalized same-sex "marriage," extending to same-sex couples the especially contentious "right" to adopt.

It's 'For The Children Coalition's' victory comes at the end of a long battle with what was described by the pro-family agency Agenda Europe as "the left-leaning political class" of "residual communists" who controlled the National Assembly.

The coalition already won this fight once, in 2012, overturning a measure that extended to same-sex couples all the rights of married couples save adoption and the use of the term "marriage" for their relationships.

This March, a new parliament passed a law extending full recognition to same-sex "marriage" by a 51-28 margin. The coalition immediately launched a petition to hold another referendum. Requiring 2,500 uncertified signatures for this the first stage, the coalition produced 80,000. Next, it needed to gather 40,000 "certified" signatures in 35 days. The coalition garnered 48,000 inside a week.

The National Assembly promptly vetoed the referendum because, it claimed, in the words of Agenda Europe, "it would lead to an unconstitutional result, depriving a group (those with same-sex attraction) of their right to marry."

When the coalition announced its intention to challenge that vote, the president of the assembly decreed arbitrarily that opponents had only a week to file their challenge with the Constitutional Court. The coalition challenged the deadline with the same court and won, gaining a 15-day extension. In October, the court ruled in their favor by a 5-4 margin, ruling that the National Assembly, not the drafters of the referendum, had violated the constitution.

The referendum proceeded smoothly from there, producing not only a check to the homosexual agenda, but a stiff rebuke to the country's parliamentarians and...
