President Vladimir Putin has reiterated his desire not to legalise gay
marriage in Russia.
Speaking on Thursday in Kremlin,
where he met a state commission to discuss the changes to Russia’s
constitution, the 67-year-old spoke against allowing the traditional notion of
mother and father to be ‘subverted’ by what he called “parent number 1” and
“parent number 2”.
“As far as ‘parent number 1’ and
‘parent number 2’ goes, I’ve already spoken publicly about this and I’ll repeat
it again: as long as I’m president this will not happen. There will be dad and
mum,” Putin said.
Gay marriage has been accepted by some countries such as USA, South
Africa Germany and Canada.
