Russian President Vladimir Putin has voiced his opposition to the adoption of Russian children by foreign homosexual couples. This does not ipso facto constitute a legal prohibition of sodomite and lesbian adoptions, but it does involve a strong request for the Russian government to pass binding legislation. (Putin has already barred all American adoptions of Russian children, which was alleged to have been a political retaliation against the Magnitsky Act at the expense of children in need.) This opposition to homosexual adoption is a consistent outgrowth of Russian policy, which already forbids sodomite marriage and therefore forbids adoption by homosexual Russians. If they understand the sinful dangers and antinatural elements of sodomite-run households within their borders, then they can clearly recognize the same without their borders. May they continue to uphold God’s law!
The two main objections launched against this prohibition are, first, the moral integrity of sodomites and, second, the higher living standard for otherwise suffering Russian children. The first point is, of course, absurd. Sodomites received the death penalty when God Himself delivered His perfect laws to Israel (Lev. 20:13). They are barred from the kingdom of God (1 Cor. 6:9) and consigned righteously to the seventh level of Dante’s hell for their violence against nature (Rom. 1:26). The biblical and natural gender roles which have to be utterly spurned in any homosexual relationship, and the domestic disorder ensuing therefrom, are sufficient to show how a child’s upbringing will be raped by sodomite adoptions. The lack of moral order within sodomites, and thus within their homes, is certainly sufficient reason to oppose foreign sodomite adoption. Whatever increased well-being might accrue for the children from their new home, which would (as the homosexuals claim) include a great amount of sentimental love and affection, a room for themselves, toys, food, and so on, this increase in material well-being would not be nearly adequate for the debilitation of moral well-being acquired through a sodomite upbringing. An increase in living standards is not all-important, and it is not even an increase if we include the moral quality of the upbringing in the “living standard” itself. There is a real and genuine sense in which children are harmed by being given a higher living standard, if that higher living standard comes at the price of sodomite example and upbringing.
