Putin & Mom & Dad
#1
Russia will not introduce politically correct terminology such as “parent #1” and “parent #2” any time soon, Putin told a constitutional reform working group on Thursday, as they discussed family values in Russia.
Quote:As for ‘parent #1’ and ‘parent #2’, I have already publicly said it and I will repeat it once more: as long as I am president, we will not have parents #1 and #2, it will be ‘mother’ and ‘father’.
One of the working group members, Russian lawmaker Olga Batalina, told the president that many people in Russia are concerned about the fate of the traditional family and would like to see it protected by the constitution. Putin welcomed the idea but said that it needs careful consideration.
Batalina noted that some people who sent proposals to the 75-strong body which is tasked with processing citizens’ suggestions on the constitutional reform, would very much like to see ‘family’ defined as a “union of a man and a woman.”

I'm sure there are a lot of gay guys who wouldn't mind being referred to as "mother". Likewise, women referred to as "father". At least that's from observations of American gay families. Don't think Putin would authorize that either.

It sounded like they were concerned with parent # 1 and parent # 2.

Unless Russia is a much "gayer" country than the US, they have nothing to worry about. Gay adoption is statistically non-existent in the US. Plus it doesn't threaten the "traditional" family one iota.

This is just a move by the pure lovers of statism.

Divorce is the overwhelming threat to the "traditional" family. Gee, I wonder why the theocrats and statists aren't attacking that issue.

Not to mention that Russia has an orphan crisis

Which came first: Traditions/customs or the state?

Maybe those are the traditions of your family line, but I know of none others that would claim the same.

How is it possible that you are so ignorant?
