Meloni heads Italy’s most rightwing government since the second world war. Italy’s criminal code punishes with a fine ranging from €1,000 to €5,000 anyone who “publicly defames the republic”, which includes the government, parliament, the courts and the army.

    Standard or not (which I checked in Canada it varies by province), it’s still a step backwards and creates unnecessary stress for already existing family units. That’s not even including the extra paperwork, time, and money spent by all parties involved just to fix a parental rights issue that didn’t exist. So how is this an issue that effects the people other than negatively?

      I agree that it shouldn’t affect existing family units, but at the same time this isn’t anything unusual. The non biological parent has to go through the normal adoption process to be considered a legal guardian. The same thing should apply to heterosexual couples where one, or both, of the parents aren’t the biological parents of the children.

        We’ll have to agree to disagree on whether something is the right thing to do if it’s considered the standard.

        I understand where you’re coming from and there could be a lot of scenarios where adoption is a good option but at the end of the day homosexual couples don’t necessarily have the chance of both being biological parents like heterosexual couples do. What you’re describing is equality, but I would argue that it’s also discriminatory.
