The bill, proposed by the opposition United Left (ZL) party, appeared headed for likely approval after the ruling coalition's senior Miro Cerar Party announced its support of the text, along with other center-left parties.
"This amendment defines marriage as a life-long commitment of two persons, regardless of their sex, eliminating the discriminating situation in force up to now," Matej T. Vatovec, a ZL legislator told lawmakers when introducing the bill.
Center-right opposition parties are hostile to the text, saying it will enable same-sex couples to adopt children and will undermine the traditional family values.
