Slovakia is holding a referendum on the "Protection of family" this Saturday. Do the three referendum questions discriminate against the LGBTI community, trying to strip them of the right to marry and adopt, or are they trying to give more protection to families and children? What do you make of them?
Question 1
Do you agree with the fact that no other relationship other than the one between one man and one woman should be allowed to be called a marriage?
Question 2
Do you agree with the fact that couples or groups of people of the same gender should not be allowed to adopt children and then subsequently raise them?
Question 3
Do you agree with the fact that schools should not be allowed to require children to participate in classes of sexual education or euthanasia if their parents or the children themselves do not agree with the content of the teaching?
Are these questions preventative measures or a fear of the unknown? Is the referendum trying to stop the development of Slovak society or preserve its traditional values? What will Slovaks be voting for or against this Saturday? And why are many people openly saying they will ignore the vote?

We ask why some people are holding out three fingers and why others hold signs saying Will not go. For all you need to know about Slovakia's controversial referendum - press play.
