    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.

      I’m gonna admit to doing the reddit thing where I read the title and the comments and start to form an opinion.

      Reading your comment, I thought Hmm, well, that doesn’t seem too unreasonable. Should a new partner in a separated-parents-scenario really have a claim on custody? Well, reading the actual article where same-sex couples get married and have children get the birth certificate retroactively changed to not include one of the parents is a whole different story.

      Shameful, hateful shit. What the hell Italy.

      Yeah, I’m with you. What the actual hell.

      Gotta do something to distract from the abject poverty the government has driven the country into over the last 30 years. Back then, Italy was about as wealthy as Germany and France.
