Italy’s Democratic head blasts limit on LGBTQ parent rights -
Elly Schlein, who in 2020 revealed she was in a relationship with another woman, joined thousands of people at a demonstration in Milan to protest a move by the far-right-led Italian government to restrict the rights of parents in same-sex relationships.
LGBTQ rights activists blasted the move as evidence of the government’s discrimination toward families headed by same-sex couples. “We are talking about rights being trampled upon when they are already recognized by our constitution. We are talking about girls and boys already growing up in our communities, going to our schools,” Schlein said in comments streamed by Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera. “This is no longer tolerable. These families are tired of being discriminated against.”
“This retrograde majority has inexplicably lashed out at children ideologically,” Schlein said. “This goes against a European regulation that establishes a trivial thing and that is that if you are recognized as a daughter or son in another European country, you must also be recognized in Italy.”
