The first and main reason for the KKE's refusal to extend civil marriage to same-sex couples, which enshrines shared parental responsibility, is the commercialization of procreation and adoption. A second, equally important and related reason is that, in practice, the articles of the bill bypass the social right of a child to the motherhood-fatherhood relation as an evolving biosocial relationship. Our Party considers that parenthood is the relationship between a parent and child, which at the individual level reflects existing social relations. The KKE's position is based on the rights of the child, i.e. the child's social need to have ties with its mother and father. This need has an objective basis: the interrelated motherhood-fatherhood relation, resulting from the complementary function of man and woman in the process of procreation. The laws that are enacted must defend this right, not undermine it.

The preachers of “individual rights” have rushed to label the KKE as “homophobic”. They 'll do the same for this article.

For point two, there are some anti-adoption advocates out there which are worth listening to. They tend to be adoptees themselves and they speak out about the fact that the adoption industry is basically the soft end of a legitimised human trafficking operation.

But this argument assumes that gay couples will adopt and that they will participate in the adoption industry as consumers rather than choosing to be childless, accessing sperm donation and surrogacy etc. so it's pretty bogus.

Gotta be honest with you, it's really grim and I don't have the strength to engage with it much because there's little that I can do about it and my mental health can't afford to passively consume all the horrors and injustices of the world but Karpoozy seems to be a good anti-adoption/adoptee advocate to start with.

There are people who advertise the children they are carrying with regards to their genetic "stock" and they basically sell the child off to the highest bidder. There's really horrific racism embedded into the industry (of course 🙄) and this is only just scratching the surface of what it's like today without digging into the history or anything.

It's really heartbreaking.
