In Italy, Confusion and Division Over Same-Sex Parenting

In Italy, Confusion and Division Over Same-Sex Parenting | PinkieB.com | LGBTQ+ Life | Scoop.it

But the ruling kicked up controversy right away, with the head of the main group opposing the civil-unions bill saying it marked a “sad day for Italy.”
