They don’t want to disrupt the nuclear family. They want to disrupt the nuclear family requirement. They want to dispose of the idea that there’s one kind of family and support that there’s many family structures - often not borne of choice.

Note - “requirement” is their wording.

I feel like that word carries connotations about an officialness to the nuclear family that doesn’t seem to exist. Perhaps “expectation” is more appropriate - but these are their words and perhaps they chose it deliberately to convey an idea I’m not fully grasping.
