It sure does seem that these “gay fathers” prefer “sons,” doesn’t it?
Greece’s first openly gay political party leader says he was deliberately trying to “stir stagnant waters” and tackle the taboo subject of same-sex couples having children when he announced he and his partner planned to become parents through surrogacy.
Weeks after his unexpected election to the helm of the main opposition left-wing Syriza, Stefanos Kasselakis insisted his comments had aimed to give the issue visibility in a nation where LGBT rights were rarely publicly discussed.
“Love makes the family. These are issues solved in other countries, but not in Greece,” the Greek American businessman wrote on Facebook late on Friday. “That’s why I entered politics. To stir stagnant waters, to awaken consciences, not to caress them in their sleep.”
Whether through adoption or surrogacy it was crucial that the desire of people who loved each other but could not easily have children was recognised, he said.
The 35-year-old was responding to the ferocious backlash he has faced since declaring that he and his American husband, Tyler McBeth, wanted to enlarge their family by having sons.
“Tyler and I would like to expand our family with two boys, Apollon and Elias, with a surrogate mother because we would like each of our personalities to be transferred to the children,” he said in a televised interview aired late on Thursday.
Criticism has not only come from social conservatives in a society heavily influenced by the powerful Greek Orthodox church but progressives in Syriza who accused them of misogyny and narcissism.
It’s definitely narcissism. It’d be hard to think of anything more narcissistic than wanting to clone yourself so you can sexually molest yourself.
By the way, they keep saying this election was “unexpected.”
Maybe, but it shouldn’t be a surprise.
From his Wikipedia page:
Kasselakis was born in Marousi in 1988. His family is originally from the village of Skines in Chania. He grew up in Ekali and attended Athens College. At the age of 14 he won the silver medal in the Archimedes math contest of the Greek Mathematical Association. He then received a scholarship to attend the Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, US, and he later graduated with a B.A. in International Relations from the University of Pennsylvania, and a B.Sc in finance from the Wharton School of the same institution. While he was a student he volunteered for Joe Biden’s campaign during the 2008 Democratic Party presidential primaries.
In 2009 he worked at the back-office “risk management department” of Goldman Sachs. He also worked at the think tank of the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C. and later founded Swift Bulk shipping company.
This guy spent half his life in America campaigning for the Democrat party, in between jobs at Goldman Sachs and CSIS, and then moved back to Greece earlier this year and all of a sudden became the head of the country’s second biggest party.
I don’t know why anyone wouldn’t expect that.
You never should have tolerated this, Greeks
