Human Rights Groups Support Russian Law Protecting Children From Homosexualist Propaganda

By Rick Pearcey • August 30, 2013, 12:51 PM

Stefano Gennarini writes at C-Fam.org:

Human Rights Organizations from around the world are supporting Russia’s effort to protect children from homosexual propaganda.

A statement from civil society affirms the recently enacted Russian law, which imposes fines on individuals and groups that promote homosexuality among minors, as important steps towards fulfilling international obligations towards the family and minors.

"Organizations from around the world are 'rushing' to offer their support, according to Profesionales por la Etica, the Spain-based organization coordinating the effort. In just one week 71 organizations have offered their support," Gennarini writes.

"Russia is protecting 'genuine and universally recognized human rights against artificial and fabricated false values' like sexual orientation and gender identity, according to the statement" from Profesionales por la Etica, Gennarini continues.

"The statement recognizes the Russian law as an effort to protect the family, the fundamental group unit of society. The law is about protecting the 'innocence of children' and the 'rights of parents,'" according to Gennarini.

"While critics of the Russian law claim it violates the human rights of homosexuals, they find it difficult to address to the stated reason for enacting the laws, namely the negative health consequences of homosexual activity, Gennarini observes.

For example, "the Lancet reported last summer that homosexuals are 18 times more likely to contract HIV than heterosexuals, due to a combination of biological and behavioral risks associated with homosexual activity," Gennarini writes. "Moreover, HIV is receding in most of the world, except among homosexual populations where it is skyrocketing. Homosexuals are also at higher risk for substance abuse, suicide, and depression."
