Macedonia’s Social Affairs Minister, Spiro Ristovski, faces legal conflict with rights organizations after condemning gay adoption.
16/10/2012- Four LGBT organizations and the Macedonian Helsinki Committee for Human Rights on Monday announced law suits against the minister for harassment and discrimination, after he said that only heterosexual couples can ensure a “healthy nation”. A day earlier, Ristovski threatened to sue the same organizations for slander. “I do not even want to discuss the issue of giving homosexual couples the right to adopt children”, as “children should be raised properly and grow and develop in a marriage with a mother and a father in a real and biological sense,” Ristovski said on Friday. After being criticized for that statement he repeated similar remarks on Sunday.
“The only thing that I and the party that I represent [the ruling VMRO DPMNE] stand for is a healthy nation,” Ristovski said.
