Italy begins stripping lesbian mothers of their parental rights (www.lgbtqnation.com)

While same-sex civil unions have been legal in the country since 2016, same-sex couples do not have the right to adopt, thanks in part to opposition from the Catholic Church. Surrogacy remains illegal in Italy and there are restrictions that prevent the adoption of “stepchildren” by one parent. Medically assisted reproduction, like in vitro fertilization (IVF), is only available to heterosexual couples.

I kind of assumed, mistakenly, that other countries that aren't the US were a bit more progressive than the US.

But it seems like the issues that we're plagued by exist everywhere?

Fuck. We gotta fight.

The US is actually pretty progressive on the LGBTQ front compared to the rest of the world outside of Northern Europe, I'd even go as far as to say the coastal states are some of the best places for LGBTQ folks in terms of culture in the world.

Woah that is news to me 😳! You have some sort of source for that so I can include it when I tell other people this?
