President Vladimir Putin of Russia says gay
marriage will not be legalised as long as he is president.
Speaking in Kremlin, a city in Moscow, where he met a state
commission to discuss the changes to Russia’s constitution, Putin said he would
not allow 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.
Last month, Dmitry Medvedev, the prime minister of Russia
and the entire Russian government resigned after President Vladimir Putin
proposed a constitutional reform that would allow him to remain in power
indefinitely.
While addressing his parliament at that time, Putin proposed
a referendum on amending Russia’s constitution to increase the powers of
parliament while maintaining a strong presidential system.
“I consider it necessary to conduct a vote by the country’s
citizens on an entire package of proposed amendments to the country’s
constitution,” Putin said.
