Russia's lower Parliamentary chamber, the State Duma, voted 397-1 on Wednesday to ban foreign nationals of countries that allow medical gender transitions, as well as gender changes on official government identification documents, to adopt Russian children.
The law, which will ban countries that allow a "change of sex by medical intervention, including with the use of medicine." It's expected to be implemented after it passes the upper chamber and is signed by Pres. Vladimir Putin.
According to the State Duma, the banned countries will include NATO member states, with Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin reported last week as saying Austria, Australia, and Argentina will also be included.
As Western countries promote degeneracy under the mask of faux progressivism, Russia stands strong in its defense of both moral and logical values. No matter how hard the West tries to validate its destruction of biology, childhood innocence, and family values, Russia will remain a safe haven for those who wish not to embark on that dark path.
Given that Russia has already banned its own transgender community from adopting children, it's no surprise that this bigotry has been spread across the world. Trans people are born with, and should be legally protected by human dignity and rights, a common sense policy that Western Europe has defended in the face of Vladimir Putin's attacks.
