On 5 June 2013, a parliamentary committee tasked with reviewing the Constitution voted to include sexual orientation as a protected ground against discrimination in the new Constitution. The same committee voted, the following day, to change the current marriage law form, which describes marriage as "a consensual union between spouses", to the more restrictive form, describing it "as a union between a man and a woman alone", thus banning same-sex marriage. Green Party MP Remus Cernea, who is a staunch supporter of LGBT rights and who introduced a draft law to the Senate in order to legalize civil unions, thought of the move to ban same-sex marriage as "clearly a democratic setback; Romania should now be included among the most homophobic countries in the world."
