@pinknews: Slovakia has passed a constitutional amendment that bans gay adoption and recognises only two sexes. The central European country’s government passed the amendment on Friday (26 September) to define sex as binary, and outlaw surrogacy as well as gay adoption. It also sought to assert the EU member state’s “national sovereignty in cultural and ethical matters”. Prime minister Robert Fico promoted the amendment as part of his bid to oppose liberal ideology which, he claimed, was “spreading like cancer”, LGBTQ Nation reported. “This isn’t a little dam or just a regular dam,” he said, “this is a great dam against progressivism.” The amendment required a three-fifths majority in the 150-seat National Council to pass into law and there had been doubts that Fico had the necessary votes. However, 12 opposition council members joined the PM’s 78 supporters to win the day. #slovakia #robertfico #adoption #transrights #lgbtqia
