Novo-Ogaryovo, February 13, Interfax - Russian President Vladimir Putin said that as long as he remains in office, Russia will not legitimize same-sex marriages.
"As concerns Parent No. 1 and Parent No. 2, I've said publicly some time ago, and I'll repeat once again now: as long as I am president, we won't have parents number one and number two, we will have Mom and Dad," Putin said at a meeting with members of a working group for preparing constitutional amendments on Thursday.
State Duma deputy Olga Batalina said at the meeting that the working group had received numerous proposals on stipulating the notion of traditional family in the Constitution.
Only ten years ago, nobody could have imagined that the words mom and dad could be gradually ousted by the notions of parent No. 1 and parent No. 2, while this has "become a reality in some countries," Batalina said.
"This is what prompted some authors sending their amendments to us to propose that the Constitution stipulate that a family is a union of a man and a woman," she said.
Putin replied that such wording is questionable.
"You've said a family is a union of a man and a woman. What if this is an incomplete family? What then? Let's pinpoint some things. A marriage is a union of a man and a woman, but it's slightly different when it comes to a family," he said.
While the idea itself is right and should be supported, "we should think how this should be worded and where," Putin said.
Presidential Children's Rights Commissioner Anna Kuznetsova told Interfax that she believed it was "important to adopt a constitutional amendment stipulating legal foundations of a marriage as a voluntary family union of a man and a woman, which is a well-timed measure aimed at preempting the distortion of notions."
who would have thought in 2020 russia wpuld be the sane one on the homosexuality issue.
cripes i am embarrassed for what the libtards have done to our country.
Not bad, Vlad.
Good for Putin and Russia.
Excellent. We recently had one for 8 years. Not counting the tranny Big Mike..
But...but...but...they got Trump elected!
I’ll bet the Twitter blue-checks are pooping themselves over this one...
I’ll bet the Twitter blue-checks are pooping themselves over this one...
I guess California will ban trips of employees to Russia, now.
Sigh. I have lived too long.
Vlad’s country needs babies and he knows homos and lesbos cannot produce babies.
Vlad 2024. :)
I remember a few years ago liberals were saying, “We cannot have Trump as president because the world wouldn’t respect us.”
Some of these same liberals are now supporting Pete Buttigieg. I wonder if Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Iran, etc. would respect us. My guess is some world leaders wouldn’t want to be on the same stage with a homosexual.
Shot across booty judge bow......
As he should, Vlad has no respect for a butt pirate.
It’s almost surreal that we are even having conversations about a man that kisses another man on a national platform being considered for President.
I will never forget or forgive 0bammy for those rainbow lights on the White House. .really hate that dope head.
I will NEVER consider sodomite “marriage” to be legitimate.
Geeze, I’m tempted to move to Russia now.
I’ve gotten so sick of the tv commercials fearturing homos and trannies lately. (not to mention the whole shoving of it in in our faces throughout our entire society.)
Wonder how the DNC resident commie is going to spin this one?
“I’ll bet the Twitter blue-checks are pooping themselves over this one.”
Can’t wait to see the reaction of the NYTimes.
