The first and main reason for the KKE's refusal to extend civil marriage to same-sex couples, which enshrines shared parental responsibility, is the commercialization of procreation and adoption. A second, equally important and related reason is that, in practice, the articles of the bill bypass the social right of a child to the motherhood-fatherhood relation as an evolving biosocial relationship. Our Party considers that parenthood is the relationship between a parent and child, which at the individual level reflects existing social relations. The KKE's position is based on the rights of the child, i.e. the child's social need to have ties with its mother and father. This need has an objective basis: the interrelated motherhood-fatherhood relation, resulting from the complementary function of man and woman in the process of procreation. The laws that are enacted must defend this right, not undermine it.

The preachers of “individual rights” have rushed to label the KKE as “homophobic”. They 'll do the same for this article.

We talk a lot about the benefits of democratic centralism and the problems of parties where individual members can do whatever they want, but this strikes me as a significant shortcoming of democratic centralism: what happens when your party comes down on the wrong side of an important issue? This would put members who opposed this internally in a tough spot of upholding the party line.

This is the short coming for all true democracy. If majority of the people are against it, we're forced to accept it as a reality. We've to go further by campaigning for the vulnerable for the message to be heard. But then democratic centralism come in. For party discipline, it's fine, but nation-wide? No, I think there are more suitable alternatives.
