A representative of Burundi was critical of the declaration’s call for changes to laws to abolish parental and spousal consent in matters related to HIV/AIDS. He said these were a “direct attack against the institution of marriage and one of its most basic principles, namely mutual consent between the spouses.”

“This undermines trust, shared responsibility, and the values upon which families are based. It is unacceptable for international texts to promote approaches which deliberately erode the foundation of family and the family unit, which is universally recognized as the natural and foundational unit of society,” he emphasized.

Florida beauty queen lost title after standing for biological truth

“In the middle of the photo shoot, I was pulled out, and I was asked to sign a contract. ‘The applicant must be female. Female means a born female or an individual who has fully completed sex reassignment surgery,’”

John Gottman on Fatherhood

Fatherhood often comes with an unspoken expectation: be strong, provide for your family, and put everyone else’s needs before your own. But over time, constantly putting yourself last can leave you running on empty.
