It's already happening in Italy, so there's no reason to believe the GOP would hold back.
Italy has never recognized same-sex marriage.
Sorry, Captain Pedantic — they have same-sex unions (and recently banned travel for surrogacy specifically for gay couples)
It’s not pedantic when it’s two different things.
What legal differences are there between unions and marriages in Italy?
Eligibility:
• Marriage: Only for opposite-sex couples.
• Civil Unions: Only for same-sex couples.
Adoption Rights:
• Marriage: Opposite-sex couples can jointly adopt.
• Civil Unions: No joint adoption rights; stepchild adoption is possible but not explicitly protected by law.
Parental Recognition:
• Marriage: Both parents are recognized automatically.
• Civil Unions: Challenges in recognition, particularly for children born via surrogacy or assisted reproduction.
Surrogacy:
• Marriage: Not explicitly addressed for opposite-sex couples but may be permissible under specific conditions.
• Civil Unions: Surrogacy is explicitly prohibited for same-sex couples, and pursuing it abroad can lead to legal consequences in Italy.
Thank you, the recent surrogacy ban is taking a right away from unions, correct?
Which implies that before said ban, unions and marriages were one step closer to the same right.
You listed only differences. What are the similarities? Are taxation and inheritance significantly different? Are property and financial benefits different?
It sounds like the pedantic difference is that union is marriage for same sex couples, and that now they’ve stripped rights from same sex couples. (Which they could do either goddamn way, since these fascists can just redefine same-sex marriage at any time anyway).
Anyway…
