Tengiz Sharmanashvili: The enactment of this legislation is a significant national endeavor

"When we adopted the 1995 constitution, the term "spouses" was used, implying that a spouse could only be a woman or a man. In 2017, we expanded the concept of family to include both men and women. Now, it appears that gender has become a matter of choice. We have reached a point where we have had to specify the word "genetic", - Tengiz Sharmanashvili, the Deputy Chairman of the Defense and Security Committee, stated at the public discussion regarding the constitutional drafts "On Amendments to the Constitution of Georgia" and "On Family Values and Protection of Minors" in Ambrolauri.

According to him, the law has a preventive nature and its purpose is to protect the future generation.

"There are certain aspects that require limitation to safeguard future generations. We must oppose propaganda, although it remains an individual's right to make their own choices. Naturally, we will not intervene in personal decisions; instead, we have enacted anti-discrimination laws. Discrimination on any grounds is unacceptable, but propaganda, akin to Nazism, is intolerable. The enactment of this legislation is a significant national endeavor, and I am confident that with your support, we will achieve it", - Tengiz Sharmanashvili elucidated.
