The
Greek government does not miss a chance to prove its conservatism.
Unwilling to face family as an ever changing institution, chosen by
people to pursue their own happiness, the Greek government has not
established the legal framework which would make adoption by same sex
couples possible.
Its
conservatism deters the government from facing reality: according to
Greek law adoption by a single person is allowed. Individuals are not
asked what their sexual preferences are, when they apply for becoming
mother or father of an adopted child. The presented as “single”
parent may be a homosexual willing to raise the child with their
mate. As a result, the government's effort to maintain a traditional
form of family, not suitable for all, results in having new forms of
family, despite chosen by the individuals, out of the scope of law.
In
other words, conservatives' effort to provoke traditional family
leads to having new forms of family treated in an unequal way. The
problem's cause is conservatives' unwillingness to face the new which
individuals created, proving right Hayek's view that “by refusing
to face the facts the conservative only weakens his own position”.
