Pastor Akil Pano said on tonight\u2019s \u2018Now\u2019 that the designation \u2018Parent no.1\u2019 and \u2018Parent no.2\u2019 is a phenomenon that is trying to gain momentum due to the need of homosexual couples to be able to adopt children.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy \u2018parent 1\u2019 and \u2018parent 2\u2019? Naturally, so that the interests and desires or even the need for self-fulfillment and having a family for individuals of the same gender, can be met. So that the union between two men and two women can be legitimized,\u201d \u2013 he said.<\/p>\n
In addition, the pastor said that in cases when a child is adopted by gay couples, the child will always look for the mother and father figure.<\/p>\n
Civil society activist, Altin Hazizaj gave his take saying that the way religion often treats social issues, is a direct violation of human rights and an attack against civil society.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is a regressive tendency in Albania that doesn\u2019t let human rights in the country at least get to the same level as those in Europe. There\u2019s a tendency to have them get attacked by elements that are often related to religion or financed by religion or directed by religion,\u201d \u2013 said Altin Hazizaj.<\/p>\n
