An Armenian clergyman, who attended Wednesday the procession against
the gender perversion in Armenia, has described the controversial
gender legislation as "the labor pains of those whose purpose is to
spoil nations".
"This is a decision not conforming to any moral standard as it
runs contrary to not only the will of God and the principles of
Christianity, but also the will of nature, because every creature is
in nature is supposed to have his or her own set of values within it,"
Komitas Vardapet Hovnanyan told a news conference on Wednesday.
"By yielding to the gender law, we pave way to the eradication of our
national values. We are here to say only that three thousand people
have signed it, with the rest disagreeing to the idea. We are here
to raise the entire Armenian nation's voice because all this has to
do with the future of an Armenian."
The clergyman said the church will never be tolerant to same-sex
unions and will never wed such couples even if the families approve
of their relations or marriage.
