Right, Michael, hard to believe the battle being waged by the christian right (no capital letter, it is NOT Christian). Encouraging to see all those standing up, standing OUT there in Italy. You ares a long way from the men's group decades ago.

Thank you for sharing your story! I celebrated my first pride in the Netherlands this spring and it is such a welcome change from the US!

In Italy, same-sex couples cannot marry, but they can enter into legally recognized civil unions, which provide similar rights and responsibilities to marriage. These civil unions, established in 2016, offer couples many of the legal protections, benefits, and rights of marriage, though adoption rights and access to in vitro fertilization are excluded.
