SPECIAL: “In Greece, same-sex kissing is still taboo. I don’t think we’ve made huge strides. But we have to start somewhere. Tragic things happen, femicides, and we’re dealing with a kiss? From the first day a child goes to school, he must learn about love, romance and sex. It cannot be demonized. We cannot deal with the rules of religion because our education is religious. Christ didn’t say to love directly, he said to love everyone. So let’s go guys. We don’t lose anything” added Orestis Chalkias.
