Latvia Dissin' the EU?

MPs in the Baltic state of Latvia have passed a constitutional amendment ensuring that gay couples cannot marry. . . .
Members of Parliament said they were concerned that since Latvia has joined the European Union, EU laws will enable gay people to gain rights including the right to marry.

But the homosexual brown shirts aren't far behind. Can Latvia have its own laws on homosexuality? We'll see:

The International Gay and Lesbian Alliance said in a statement that it was appalled and seriously concerned by what it called such homophobic developments in Latvia.
It called on the European Union to look into the "disregard of EU principles and laws".

The supposedly economically-motivated EU doesn't like it when people don't go along with their ways. It has ways to make them conform.
