Slovakia Passes Law Recognizing Only Two SexesSaralnama

Slovakia changed its constitution. The new law recognizes only two sexes – male and female. It also limits adoption to married heterosexual couples and bans surrogate pregnancies. The change passed with 90 votes in the 150-seat parliament. Prime Minister Robert Fico called it a 'great dam against progressivism'. Critics say it will make life harder for LGBT people. Some see it as a distraction from other issues. The law may clash with EU rules. President Peter Pellegrini will sign the amendment. Fico's party may be expelled from the Party of European Socialists next month. (Updated 26 Sep 2025, 21:08 IST; source: link)
