Less than 10 days have passed between the article we penned on the European Court of Human Rights forcing Romania to legalize same-sex unions and the ECHR now forcing Ukraine to do the same.
In the case against Romania, it was argued that Romania had a duty to legislate to recognize these unions under the European Convention of Human Rights.
Whereas in the case of Ukraine the ECHR has ruled that the Ukrainian constitution, which protects traditional marriage, is invalid insofar as it conflicts with the "human right" of homosexual couples to marry.
Post-war neoliberal institutions are now invalidating nation-state constitutions.
We predicted in the article that the Romania ruling would serve as a springboard for the ECHR to force every country under its jurisdiction to legalize homosexual unions.
It took less than 10 days for that prediction to become reality.
Poland, Turkey, Lithuania, Bulgaria and many more nations which protect the traditional family will be next.
