“Fighting for gay marriage generally involves lying about what we’re going to do with marriage when we get there,” she added.
“It’s a no-brainer that the institution of marriage should not exist,” she said to loud applause.
She also spoke about redefining the traditional family, Opelka said.
"This may have something to do with the fact that she has 'three children with five parents,'" he added.
"I have three kids who have five parents, more or less, and I don’t see why they shouldn’t have five parents legally… I met my new partner, and she had just had a baby, and that baby’s biological father is my brother, and my daughter’s biological father is a man who lives in Russia, and my adopted son also considers him his father. So the five parents break down into two groups of three… And really, I would like to live in a legal system that is capable of reflecting that reality, and I don’t think that’s compatible with the institution of marriage,” she said.
The audio was recorded on May 19, 2012, Opelka said, when she appeared at the Sydney Writer’s Festival on a panel entitled, “Why Get Married When You Could Be Happy?”
According to the event page, Gessen is the editor of the Russian-language Snob magazine, a publication aimed at Russians living abroad, and has written several books, including "Perfect Rigour," "Blood Matters" and "The Man Without a Face."
