The new law banning the adoption of Russian children by citizens of countries where gender transitioning is legal is seen as part of a broader crackdown on sexual minorities and to reinforce traditional values.
Vyacheslav Volodin emphasized the importance of protecting adopted children from potential dangers related to gender reassignment, underscoring the government's commitment to maintain conventional values.
The legislation aims to counter Western influences which proponents argue threaten Russian societal stability by promoting declining birth rates and family structures.
Putin's administration has increasingly framed so-called traditional values as a necessary bulwark against Western liberalism, calling for larger families and opposing LGBTQ+ rights.
