The Greek party position could be sound but only if you’re missing something important in the wording of the proposed law. Maybe there’s a clause that abolishes parental leave/pay while granting equal marriage rights. I can see why they’d challenge that if it would (a) remove support for all parents on the very day of the victory (i.e. for equal marriage/parental rights) and (b) lead reactionaries to blame homosexual couples for their loss of support. Idk, though. If that’s the case, it’d be better to campaign for amendments than to vote against it completely.

Either way, it’s problematic to challenge homosexual couples adopting due to surrogacy because unless they plan to abolish surrogacy, it essentially means a ban on homosexuals having children unless they have a child by a different heterosexual relationship (I imagine single people can’t easily adopt). Maybe they plan to get into power, abolish surrogacy, and then grant full family rights to homosexual couples. If that’s the case, it’s a terrible plan; how long are homosexuales supposed to wait?

If you’ve got a link to an English (or Spanish) translation, I’ll have a look. Is it this? https://inter.kke.gr/en/articles/The-commercialization-of-surrogacy-is-a-billion-dollar-business-obscurantism-modern-day-barbarity-and-brutal-exploitation/ If it is: shit show of a communist party. Accusing the bill-proposers of obscuring the true benefactors and of appealing to the right wing while complaining about the loss of the mother-father binary. A reactionary US local government is trying to ban the use of ‘pregnant people’ and other ‘woke language’ and here we have a Greek ‘communist’ arguing that he wants to stop the same thing from even entering Greek discourse.

Who gives af if the state calls parents ‘parent 1’ and ‘parent 2’, anyway, even if that does happen elsewhere (I’m not convinced it does). Or ‘parent 3’ for that matter. Kids will still be raised to call their moms ‘mom’ and their dads ‘dad’ if the family wants that. I can’t see any family of any sexual orientation numbering the parents except as a joke. Utterly bizarre argument. The kind of thing you hear from the conservatives.

And opposing progress because the right wing might take advantage of it? We won’t get very far if we take that approach.

Sounds like the KKE has found what they think is a clever way of pandering to conservatives under the guise of ‘thinking about the working class’. I can’t wait for the day that ‘communists’ realise that conservatives aren’t put off by this or that progressive position but because they’re bloody communists. We might actually build some solidarity and get the revolution going when that happens.
