LGBTQ agenda forced on Moldova by NATO – expert

The LGBTQ “ideology” is “being force-fed to Moldovans” by NATO, which has used similar tactics elsewhere in Eastern Europe in the past, Stevan Gajic has told RT.

A professor of comparative politics at the Institute of European Studies in Belgrade, Gajic gave his assessment following a ‘pride’ rally in the Moldovan capital, Chisinau, on Sunday, where local police brutally assailed counter-demonstrators.

Speaking to RT, he claimed that the latest events in the former Soviet republic have “nothing to do with LGBT rights per se,” but rather represent an “imposed agenda, which always has a political component.”

“Here LGBT is only a political flag of NATO,” he suggested, surmising that the military bloc’s endgame is to try to “mobilize” Moldovans to fight against Russia. According to the professor, the bloc has prioritized the “fight against Orthodox Christianity” in countries that border Russia or are situated close to it.

Gajic told RT that President Maia Sandu’s government is made up of people who mostly view themselves as bureaucrats, rather than “statesmen” – hence their unquestioning obedience to narratives handed down by the West.

He recalled that scenes similar to the latest events in Moldova have played out in many Eastern European nations in the past couple of decades, all following the same template and being orchestrated by the CIA, the professor claimed.

Gajic also noted that while ‘woke’ ideology has been out of vogue in the US and much of Western Europe for some time now, NATO continues to use the same old tropes in the East of the continent in pursuit of its ulterior objectives.

Even though the LGBTQ rally in central Chisinau on Sunday had not been authorized by the authorities, police did nothing to stop it. However, law enforcement officers’ response to an Orthodox Christian counter-demonstration was markedly different.

Multiple videos said to show the events in the Moldovan capital have been circulating on social media, which depict police officers shoving an Orthodox priest to the ground and forcibly detaining a man holding an infant, among other incidents.

According to Sputnik Moldova, the clashes began after counter-demonstrators tried to breach the police cordons separating them from the LGBTQ rally, with several people reportedly detained in the skirmishes.

The heavy-handed police response to the situation has drawn criticism from the leader of the opposition Revival Party, Natalya Paraska.

Greece legalizes same-sex marriage, 

1st Orthodox Christian country to do so

WATCH: Greece became the first Orthodox Christian country to legalize same-sex civil marriage on Thursday, despite opposition from the influential, socially conservative Greek Church. However, some Greeks expressed mixed feelings after

the vote by parliament paved the way for same-sex civil marriage.

Greece on Thursday became the first Orthodox Christian country to legalize same-sex civil marriage, despite opposition from the influential, socially conservative Greek Church.

A cross-party majority of 176 lawmakers in the 300-seat parliament voted late Thursday in favor of the landmark bill drafted by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis ‘ center-right government. Another 76 rejected the reform while two abstained from the vote and 46 were not present in the house.

Mitsotakis tweeted after the vote that Greece “is proud to become the 16th (European Union) country to legislate marriage equality.”

“This is a milestone for human rights, reflecting today’s Greece — a progressive, and democratic country, passionately committed to European values,” he wrote.

He forgot the include 'godless'! While 80-90% of Greeks are Greek Orthodox, it would appear that Greek Orthodox has become more of a social club than a Christian Church.

Opinion polls suggest that most Greeks support the proposed reform by a narrow margin, and the issue has failed to trigger deep divisions in a country more worried about the high cost of living.

The bill was backed by four left-wing parties, including the main opposition Syriza.

“This law doesn’t solve every problem, but it is a beginning,” said Spiros Bibilas, a lawmaker from the small left-wing Passage to Freedom party, who is openly gay.

It was approved despite several majority and left-wing lawmakers abstaining or voting against the reform. Three small far-right parties and the Stalinist-rooted Communist Party rejected the draft law from the start of the two-day debate.

Supporters, waving rainbow banners, and opponents of the bill, holding religious icons and praying, held separate small, peaceful gatherings outside parliament Thursday.

“People who have been invisible will finally be made visible around us. And with them, many children (will) finally find their rightful place,” Mitsotakis told lawmakers ahead of the evening vote.

“Both parents of same-sex couples do not yet have the same legal opportunities to provide their children with what they need,” he added. “To be able to pick them up from school, to be able to travel, to go to the doctor, or take them to the hospital. … That is what we are fixing.”

The bill confers full parental rights on married same-sex partners with children. But it precludes gay couples from parenthood through surrogate mothers in Greece — an option currently available to women who can’t have children for health reasons.

Maria Syrengela, a lawmaker from the governing New Democracy, or ND, said the reform redresses a long-standing injustice for same-sex couples and their children.

“And let’s reflect on what these people have been through, spending so many years in the shadows, entangled in bureaucratic procedures,” she said.

Dissidents among the governing party included former Prime Minister Antonis Samaras, from ND’s conservative wing.

“Same-sex marriage is not a human right … and it’s not an international obligation for our country,” he told parliament. “Children have a right to have parents from both sexes.”

Polls show that while most Greeks agree to same-sex weddings they also reject extending parenthood through surrogacy to male couples. Same-sex civil partnerships have been allowed in Greece since 2015. But that only conferred legal guardianship to the biological parents of children in those relationships, leaving their partners in a bureaucratic limbo.

The main opposition to the new bill has come from the traditionalist Church of Greece — which also disapproves of heterosexual civil marriage.

Church officials have centered their criticism on the bill’s implications for traditional family values, and argue that potential legal challenges could lead to a future extension of surrogacy rights to gay couples.

Church supporters and conservative organizations have staged small protests against the proposed law.

Far-right lawmaker Vassilis Stigas, head of the small Spartans party, described the legislation Thursday as “sick” and claimed that its adoption would “open the gates of Hell and perversion.”

Politically, the same-sex marriage law is not expected to harm Mitsotakis’ government, which won easy re-election last year after capturing much of the centrist vote.

A stronger challenge comes from ongoing protests by farmers angry at high production costs, and intense opposition from many students to the planned scrapping of a state monopoly on university education.

Nevertheless, parliament is expected to approve the university bill later this month, and opinion polls indicate that most Greeks support it.
