Italy begins stripping lesbian mothers of their parental rights

you have to be sub-human trash to be ok with this

Disgusting comments from some pro-lifers on this thread. Throwing this child into an orphanage when they had a stable family already is the anti-thesis of pro family doctrine. It's hypocritical ultra right wing bigotry. All that remains of the right is their absolute hatred of the left. This really is the death of right wing majority governments. We saw their true colours during the January 6th capitol hill insurrection, during the BLM protests, during the Ukraine and Syria conflicts where Republicans teamed up with foreign enemy governments and during Obama's presidency.

That's something I learned from reading too many books about WWII. It all started with the little things. What's that "first they came" quote again?

First they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the Socialists and I did not speak out because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.

It's maddening to watch all of the progress made around the world getting pushed back for no good reason aside from making a minority of the population uncomfortable—with their beliefs being based on lies and misinformation.

Edited to reword for clarity.

I’m so sick of humanity.

Italy: Women's role are to raise children.

Also Italy: No, not these women!

Italy forgetting all about their history of fascism.

Fucking fascists doing fascist things.

My daughter would loose her second mother though she has been there for her since birth and even before that.

My wife would not be allowed to sign a document for our daughter or visit her in the hospital when she is sick.

I absolutely don't know how the Italiens can accept such a move.

This sounds really bad and I'm afraid it's even worse than it sounds. For example, end of 2022 Italy introduced a law which bans certain types of harmless assemblies (rave parties) of more than 50 people (participants can be put to jail for up to 6 years). This is paving the road for cutting possibilities of people to protest against their government. (Imagine, there is a a protest and somebody plays music. The government will see a rave party.) Yet the Italian government seems to have no problem with 3000 neofascists visiting the hometown of Mussolini. And now this.

I am sure foster care and orphanages will teach these kids some good family values

See this is what happens when you go to long without hanging all the fascists. Every 50 years or so you have to round them all up and find a gas station.

That is sick. Absolutely sick.

Facists announcing that they will oppress minorities when they're being voted into power.

Gets voted into power. Oppresses minorities.

People

Even if they hate homosexual couples, doing this retroactively as a surprise brings this to a whole new level. Are there any ways for these people to reobtain their parental rights, like adoption?

This and the recent 10 second groping rule has Handmaid's tale written all over it. Horrible and disgusting.

Under current Italian law, the member of a same-sex couple who is not legally recognized as a child’s parent could lose custody if the legally recognized parent dies or the relationship ends.

Shameful, hateful shit. What the hell Italy.

Elected fascists doing elected fascist things. Spain is going to be like this soon enough as well, maybe together they will roll the welcome mat for Putin as well.

There is no good reason for this and this will cause a large amount of issues, let alone the pain it causes to the families affected by it.

This doesn’t seem purely populism for the anti-lgbtqia+ crowd, it seems too nuanced for that. I’m guessing it’s waiting until a high-placed official of the catholic church voices his support for Meloni during her next campaign.

EDIT: It already happend, she was endorsed by a Cardinal and several other members of the Italian church.

Sorry Italy, Americans know about having really shitty politicians.

My opinion is that state and law should not care about sex of a parent or partner. Just to guarantee us all the same rights.

My other option is that this is quite bad news article (thou that might not be news site, so it is not on them, but on us) since there are a lot of opinions but is hard to find any facts in it.

What exactly is the law? Who exactly is who? What are the consequences, practical not only emotional? This is raising fear levels, but I am not certain what to fight against (except whole Italian government).

Fucking fascists and fucking Organized Rape Worldwide (I may have spelled catholics wrong).

That’s terrible… She’s her daughter in every way.
And the thought of losing your child if something happens to your partner, it breaks my heart.

And so it motherfucking begins 🤦

Despicable, fuck them fascists

But the mayor of Padua, Sergio Giordani, is defying the government’s orders and continuing to issue birth certificates recognizing two-mom families.

God bless this man. May the rest of Italy be so bold!

Ok well I was never planning on going to Italy anyway. Sounds like a real shit hole.

Hey it's not like they're looking down the barrel of sea levels destroying Florence while the rest of the country is air fried, lots of time to waste with this frivolous nonsense.

I mean, they made a Mussolini fangirl prime minister. I’m honestly surprised they were able to keep the anti-lgbt agenda hidden this long.

So what happens when a trans lesbian has a kid with a cis lesbian in the usual way children are made? Does the kid lose their sperm donor as a parent??

Absolutely disgusting.

Well that's horrible.

10 million hatreds upon those who have wronged us

It's 52.2degrees in China, and we are worrying about this shit still

EDIT TO CLARIFY: I think people should be able to have a family made up of who ever they want. Being in a traditional family does not magically guarantee a safe space

If the state i fringes on your natural rights, just ignore it and defend your way of life through any means necessary

Lmao tell me again how the US is soooo far to the right of "Europe"

holy shit b-b-based!?

I dunno man, two dads sound fun, but 1 mum was enough for me.

What a sad news, anyways

So now we care about parental rights?

But don't children need both a mother and a father to be raised properly? (usually at least) Both parents play an important role in the child's mental development so you can't replace either with 2 parents of the same sex...
