Aggeliki Iliadi defends traditional family views on social media

Greek singer Aggeliki Iliadi has sparked controversy following a series of Instagram stories regarding her views on family structure and parenting. The singer's comments were prompted by a video from a young woman, identified as YouTuber Nefeli Meg, who had critiqued Iliadi's previous statements made during an interview with Konstantinos Bogdanos.

Iliadi asserted that a family must consist of a man and a woman, stating that children are created through this union as ordained by God. She explicitly rejected the idea of same-sex couples being considered parents, describing such arrangements as ‘unnatural according to God’.

During her social media posts, Iliadi also criticized modern social progress and educational trends, suggesting that attempts to normalize different family models are ‘unnatural’. She referenced the teachings of Saint Paisios, suggesting that modern civilization has caused widespread damage to traditional values.
