Putin orders ban on adoptions by LGBT foreign couples

[^_^ 5,021]

The Russian president has opposed the adoption of Russian orphans by LGBT foreign couples, and has instructed the government and the Supreme Court to prepare changes to existing law before July 1.

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s order will most likely be fulfilled by the Ministry of Education and Science, which is currently dealing with issues concerning orphans and adoptions, Izvestia daily reported.

...

The head of the ‘All-Russian Parents’ Assembly’ movement, Nadezhda Khramova, told Izvestia that a total ban of foreign adoptions would be a smarter move, as “it is technically difficult to verify the adoptive parents’ sexual orientation and their legal status can be marriage of convenience.” Khramova and her NGO previously organized mass events in support of the ‘Dima Yakovlev Bill,’ which banned US citizens from adopting Russian children.

I though Russia was already banning foreign adoptions.

Russia won’t ban foreign adoptions yet

I guess not. Who knew Putin was a member of the Christian Right?

The Russians I know IRL are all what lefties would call "homophobes".

No. RUB women all have the weird expression somewhere between a smirk and a pout. You just know they are thinking how much they will enjoy emasculating their capitalist American benefactors

Depends on what you mean by the Christian Right, I believe he also passed a huge restriction on Protestant type Evangelizing. To even share a booklet on the street is a crime unless you are with a registered organization.

This obviously is to protect the Orthodox faith from being over run by Filthy Westerners.

What I find interesting is that people Hate putin because he simply is a forceful brawler for what he sees is best for Russia..... as if he should be concerned about our interests.

People are also convinced he is a dictator but not many dictators follow a Constitutions requirements to leave office and then resume the office when the Law allows.

I like most of what Putin Does, I keep my eyes open to see where his form of Democracy is going but I suspect it may out last ours for a number of reasons.

I have relations with a Russian as often as possible and never with Americans.

Maybe Darnell can translate that.
