Russia votes to define marriage in constitution as between man and woman

(Worthy News) – Russians voted in favor of a referendum on Wednesday for a series of constitutional amendments, one of which would define marriage as between a man and a woman.

Preliminary results tallied by CNN found that nearly 80% of Russians backed the amendments.

The referendum, ostensibly intended to restore a Russian “protection of the family,” also changed Russia’s constitution so that President Vladimir Putin will be able to hold power until 2036. Russian law already does not allow gay marriage. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
