Slovakia passes law to recognise only two sexes and restrict adoption

Slovakia has passed a law that recognizes only two biological sexes, male and female, and restricts adoption rights for same-sex couples. The new legislation, which was approved by the country's parliament, effectively prevents transgender and non-binary individuals from having their gender identity legally recognized. The law also limits adoption rights, allowing only married, heterosexual couples to adopt children. This move has drawn criticism from LGBTQ+ advocates, who argue that it will create further challenges for the community and make their lives more difficult. Supporters of the law claim it is necessary to protect traditional family values and the rights of children. However, opponents argue that the legislation is discriminatory and goes against principles of human rights and equality. The passage of this law in Slovakia reflects the ongoing debate surrounding gender identity and LGBTQ+ rights across Europe, with some countries taking conservative stances while others work to promote inclusivity and acceptance.
