Italy Faces Backlash Over Restrictions on LGBTQ Parental Rights
TL;DR
The head of Italy's opposition Democratic Party, Elly Schlein, has criticized the Italian government's move to restrict the rights of parents in same-sex relationships, calling it cruel and discriminatory. The Interior Ministry forced Milan to limit parental rights to the biological parent when same-sex couples register their children with the city. Schlein, who is in a relationship with another woman, vowed to push through legislation to better recognize and protect the rights of LGBTQ families. The move has been criticized by LGBTQ rights activists as evidence of the government's discrimination toward families headed by same-sex couples.
