Colombia's inspector general, members of the Catholic church and various Christian organizations on Wednesday formed a new alliance in the Senate against gay marriage.
Inspector General Alejandro Ordoñez formed the bloc ahead of the second of four senate debates over the proposed gay marriage bill, which takes place on April 10.
Senators Edgar Espindola Niño of the National Integration Party and Claudia Wilches Sarmiento of the U Party, both vocal critics of the gay marriage proposal, were behind the senate initiative.
"The recognition of persons of the same sex as family is unconstitutional," said Espindola.
