Columbus, Ohio (Wcmh) – A up-to-date draft law in Ohio plans to name a month in which “natural families” is celebrated with “a clear male leader”. The legislation that a leading advocacy representation states that it invalidates single parents and “takes the direct goal for LGBTQ+ families”.
House Bill 262 was introduced on May 13th in Ohio Statehouse to recognize the weeks between Mother’s Day and Father’s Day as a “natural family month”. The proposal is supported by the Natural Family Foundation, an organization based in Westterville, which defines a “natural family” as a man and a woman in a lifelong monogamous relationship “to her” biological or adopted children “.
“In order for society to survive, the tissue must be repaired by reorganizing the social restrictions/contracts in order to prefer the ancient natural family prototype,” says the foundation’s website that “there must be a clear male leader within the family and that this leader must come from the family leaving.” The foundation did not respond to the request from NBC4 for comment.
Dwayne Steward, executive director of Equality Ohio, condemned HB 262 as “discriminatory, dehuman legislation” and “a calculated act of strategic extinguishing”.
“It is not only the existence of single and countless other supervisors invalid, but it is also a direct goal for LGBTQ+ families,” said Steward. “The so-called” Natural Family Foundation “, the group that drives this legislation, has made its ideology clear: If you are not a heterosexual, monogamous couple with children-is listed by a biological man from the family line-do not count as a family at all. As an adopted parent, I personally have the extinguisher.”
More than 23% of households in Ohio include single parents, such as US people’s counting data. A report by the William Institute at the University of California Los Angeles found The LGBTQ+ population of Ohio is the sixth largest in the countryWith around 557,000 adults in the community.
HB 262 is in June in June and the LGBTQ+ Pride Month in June the 10th anniversary of Oberfell v. HodgesThe 2015 decision to set the right to same -sex marriage. The representatives Beth Lear (R-Galena) and Josh Williams (R-Sylvania Twp.) Introduced the law with the support of 26 Republican legislators and argue that the name is necessary in view of the recently achieved fertility rate of the USA.
“At a time when the marriage tends down and often decide young couples to remain childless, it is important for the state of Ohio to explain that marriage and families are the cornerstones of civil society and are absolutely essential if we want to maintain a healthy and stable republic,” said Lear.
Williams argues that HB 262 would “promote economic and social stability that corresponds to two parents from the upbringing of children in healthy people”.
“Since America is confronted with the decline in birth rates and a shrinking population, we can no longer afford to ignore the basic role that play strong families when maintaining our future,” said Williams. “We have to use every tool to support the families who build the next generation of Americans.”
