Chairman of the Constitutional Court Valery Zorkin at the opening of the World Russian People's Council criticized Western trends in equalizing the rights of men and women, reports . Interfax
“I mean such legislative innovations that declare non-traditional behavior patterns of sexual and gender minorities as a legal norm, try to equalize men and women without taking into account their natural biological differences, and sanction the invasion of state bodies and government organizations into quite prosperous families,” he explained.
According to Zorkin, discrepancies between laws and traditional family values threaten the existence of humanity.
The chairman of the Constitutional Court also noted that “the danger of lawlessness is growing, evoking the words of the Holy Apostle Paul, who at the dawn of the era warned that the mystery of lawlessness is already in action.”
“We live in a time when there is a danger that the law on which we all count has recently lost its regulatory potential, which means that the danger of lawlessness is growing. The most obvious way the danger of lawlessness is now manifested in the sphere of international legal relations,” quotes him as saying. RIA Novosti
