‘Orphaned by decree’: Italy’s same-sex parents react to losing their rights - Lemmy.world

Rightwing PM Giorgia Meloni has demanded councils register only biological parents on birth certificates, leaving partners in legal limbo

Awful shit. Will this affect all adoptees or just those chosen by the fascist administration?

Your understanding is generally inaccurate.

A less spoken yet big topic in Italy is the “uterus for rent”. While most media talks about the woman role, it actually goes both ways.

The explanation under the following spoiler is potentially NSFW, yet I will try to write it in the least sensitive way possible

This is an illegal practice in Italy. It consists in a person paying another person from the opposite sex so a child can be born between the two, but raised by only the payer. Used in the case where the actual couple cannot make a child on their own (so, in the case of same-sex unions or general infertility). The person who got payed would then disappear.

The block of the birth certificates is going against this practice.

Yes that’s a very nice explanation but it doesn’t leave anything for people with no understanding of Italian culture anything to get unreasonably outraged about on the internet 😂
I wrote it in the most impartial way possible. I want discussion not echo chambers of what I think of it.

Yep I understood it completely because I live just across the border.

There are too many people who want to be angry without understanding the reason for it
