On behalf of Human Dignity Center, our Hungary-based non-governmental organization I would like to contribute to this important topic. In 2015 through the Mum, Dad & Kids European Citizens' Initiative hundreds and thousands of EU citizens expressed their opinion: marriage is a union of one man and one woman, and family is based on marriage and/or descent.
