 On 27 February 2007 the Spanish Family Forum presented an initiative signed by 1 @.@ 5 million people to legislate marriage as the union of a man and a woman only ( thus effectively prohibiting same @-@ sex marriage ) . The initiative was rejected by the Spanish Congress . On 30 May 2007 , the aforementioned judge of Dénia was condemned by the Disciplinary Committee of the General Council of Judiciary Power ( Comisión Disciplinaria del Consejo General del Poder Judicial -CGPJ- ) to pay 305 euros for refusing to marry a gay couple and was also strictly warned against doing it again . She attributes this action to the " propagandistic machinery " of the government .
