‘Family values’ bill is adopted despite being denounced by the president, rights groups and the European Union.

Kesaria Abramidze, a trans model, was murdered the day after the bill passed. Even if the president vetos it, this law already has a body count.

Ohh, the country.

Oh, yeah, I probably should have specified. We don't have a parliament in the US, plus gay marriage is recognized on a federal level, not a state level. It's not unlike a red state to try to find a loophole— mine sure did— but I don't think it'd get this far.

Yeah, I didn't think it would go this far, so I was really confused for 5 seconds before I remembered the country. I think my brain skimmed over the "Parliament". So the first thing I read was this, which didn't seem too far from the US south's policies.
