(Amsterdam, Netherlands) - Mayor of Amsterdam Job Cohen believes it is very sad that under the new cabinet, municipal officials will be allowed to refuse to perform marriage ceremonies for homosexual couples, ANP reports. The Mayor made the above statement on Wednesday morning at the unveiling of a commemorative plaque at city hall in the memory of the first same sex marriage in Amsterdam officially recognized there on 1 April 2001. Cohen also said he regretted that the new cabinet was seemingly not prepared to take any steps in the further emancipation of homosexuals in the Netherlands.
