A magistrate in northern Italy has requested that birth certificates issued to lesbian couples have the name of the nonbiological mother removed.
Earlier this month, Valeria Sanzari, interim prosecutor of Padua, opened a legal case to remove the names of non-biological parents from birth certificates issued by the famous city, Reuters reported.
“In Italy, marriage is only between a man and a woman, and therefore only the biological parent is the parent whose surname can be registered,” Luca Ciriani, the minister for parliamentary relations, told RTL radio last week.
Set to be heard later this year, the case could annul the 33 birth certificates of children born to parents with same-sex partners in Padua since 2017.
The move to change birth certificates follows Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s order to city councils to stop non-parents from adopting their same-sex partners’ children.
Katy Faust, founder and director of Them Before Us, as well as a leading advocate for the rights of children and the traditional family, celebrated Sanzari’s request, tweeting, “Good for Italy. BCs are not for adults.”
“It’s not a 2nd marriage license,” she added. “BCs are for kids. Their best legal ave[nue] to answer the question, ‘Who am I?’ 2 moms on a BC doesn’t tell kids who they are, but who adults wish them to be – the child of 1 or 2 strangers….”
At a recent conference in Rome attended by Pope Francis, Meloni voiced her concerns about the plummeting birth rates in Italy.
She revealed that her government has “dedicated a department to birth rates” to “address the great crises, among which the demographic one is undeniable.”
“We want to give Italians back a country where being fathers and mothers is a socially recognized value and not a private matter,” Meloni stated. “A nation where having a child is a beautiful thing, which does not take anything away from you and does not prevent you from anything and which gives you a lot. For decades, the dominant culture has told us otherwise. I think it’s time to reverse the trend….”

The world needs more Giorgia Meloni’s!
Giorgia Meloni is doing a great job. The U.S. should do the same, with birth certificates. Well, today I was asked to support a One Million Moms’ protest and boycott, regarding a Gucci cologne TV commercial, aired during prime time TV, in which a polyamorous trio is snuggling, kissing, and hugging (etc.) closely together– a very bad thing for children to see, on TV! These kinds of ads should be strictly illegal! Hope this Bud Light and Target-style protest and boycott will be a big success, and hope the ad supporting the “polyamorous community” will be soon pulled. One Million Moms is a Christian-based faith and family–supporting organization. Many Muslim families and similar people, support faith-based endeavors, too. In Canada, these faith-based families, including Muslims as well as Christians, have been holding huge protests of Canadian schools supporting Pride month. Muslim kids, all ages, are tearing up and stomping on rainbow and trans flags, in these protests.
There is absolutely nothing in that commercial. They are not kissing. They are smelling the perfume.
You should look up the information and find out the truth.
I watched the commercial.
Gucci has been harshly criticized for many deviant ad campaigns. This latest TV ad, for Gucci’s “Guilty” cologne, is deemed by the company to be a “celebration of self-acceptance and love in all its forms.” The ad features a sick, deviant, so-called “Throuple”— a sexual “threesome,” with a mix of races. The immoral “lovers” are seen frolicking in a sick and suggestive manner. Remember the days when a TV ad for perfume or cologne was normal– and featured the magic of Romance between a young man and woman, in a lovely, innocent, joyful, normal manner? A young man and woman depicted in beautiful scenery, walking together, hand in hand, joyfully, hopelessly in love! This is what our society desperately needs to return to! Normalcy!
You are misrepresenting the commercial.
Gucci is, like many companies today, involved with the LGBT agenda. The Gucci company has been under heavy criticism for this.
They are fashion designers.
You buy a lot of Gucci, do ya?
I hope this doesn’t upset you but conservative moms in America are not who Gucci is trying to sell to.
Your petition is a badge of honor for them.
Looks like some readers obviously know nothing about this situation, and have no sensitivity nor understanding of morality, decency and normalcy For a company to deliberately advertise their commercials as featuring a sexually deviant “Throuple” is immoral and sick.
I had to watch the commercial several times to even figure out the plot. I agree it is something that I would not explain to my children. I think you probably do not know what a throuple is. There isn’t even a threesome, I think. I’ll have to watch it again to make sure.
Now you have garnered this commercial all my views and all the views of anyone who wants to see what we are talking about.
Read the controversial news stories, before you watch the commercial. We do not watch TV. We only saw the commercial as part of news stories, objecting to the commercial, and explaining Gucci’s wrongful “Woke” LGBT agenda.
I have found 0 news stories complaining about this ad.
I see 1 million moms (and apparently they complained about the Cascade dishwasher detergent ads, too)
I see 1 guy on youtube griping.
It’s OK if you want to complain about it, go ahead.
You just spread it though.
I do see the support us-donate space on One Million Moms.
What show are you watching that you see this commercial?
I quit watching TV a long time ago.
I know so much more about immorality, indecency and abnormalcy because I come to this website
My spouse has told me not to tell them anything else.
Our family stopped watching TV in about the year 1970. We hope and pray that morality and decency, and good family values will someday return to the media, and to the Nation. But we must fight for it, in every way, and pray. If the Drag Queens show up at the neighborhood library– go join a oeaceful protest. It only takes a few good people sitting around doing nothing, for Evil to take hold of a country, like a deadly virus.
Here is the problem:
You are not a Gucci customer.
You did not even see the ad that you are complaining about.
Gucci isn’t stupid.
Gucci and other companies have made a decision to market to LGBTQ persons.
If you are offended by the ad or you got into an awkward question and answer session with a child because of it, your complaint would be legitimate.
“Somebody told me about your ad and I clutched my pearls” really is not a valid complaint.
One Million Moms parent organization is American Family Association.
Revenue of $30 million per year.
Even though I do not want them, I get Gucci ads coming up on my computer at times. A relative offered me a large, expensive Gucci bag that someone had gifted her, and I told her I had no use for it. Too big and too expensive — might have someone hitting me over the head to take it. She said she would ask her mother-in-law if she wanted it, but I doubt the mother-in-law wanted it either as she walks around the malls in the morning for excercise and women are knocked down and purses stolen there sometimes. Minimalism is the thing.
Italy is still very conservative but 25% of Italy’s population are nones.
Reply to, take a deep breath.
You kind of led me astray by calling the people polyamorous.
It made no sense so I googled.
I got a queer website and they talked about it and they said “What trans masc hasn’t been in this situation?”
I think we got to pray.
Griping at companies because you don’t like their ads is not how you leaven the dough.
No. The company is being criticized everywhere, like Target and many others, for being “Woke” and pro-LGBT..Gucci stated that their latest ad campaign was to “celebrate” LGBTs, featuring the sick, deviant “Throuples”– to “celebrate the many styles of love.” People are sick to death of the LGBT agenda being shoved down their throats, everywhere. Perfumes and colognes that are feminine and romantic, used to be— and should be– advertised for normal women, very specially, to enhance their beauty and femininity. and hopefully also, to attract and impress their boy friend or husband, romantically. Normal man-woman romance, courtship and narriage, is a very important basic, natural thing– made by God. Perhaps you, and millions of others, have forgotten that– normalcy! The sick LGBTs and feminists are “anti-normal women!” And “anti-normal men!” They want to “erase” normal, healthy, natural Manhood and Womanhood! Many people– even children– are now being brainwashed to accept as “normal,” the filthy, unnatural LGBT culture and “lifestyle.” This is very wrong.
Reply to, do you understand that you are not being argued with about morals.
You are simply being corrected on inaccuracy and untruth.
And God created them male and female, to be fruitful and multiply. Two of the same sex can never do this, we must respect His plan.
What is stopping you from respecting “his plan”? If you want to be fruitful and multiply, have at it! Lots of people do it these days!
A married couple using contraception is a mortal sin. Using sex for pleasure without being open to life is a mortal sin.
While working as an active pastor I was called to the hospital for an emergency baptism for a critically ill baby. I baptized and confirmed him. The boy’s birth mother was not Catholic. Her live in friend/partner was Catholic. I listed the birth mother on the baptismal certificate, but did not have any information for a father so I left it blank. I listed the Catholic friend/partner as the female sponsor. Later the friend/partner informed me that she also was a parent to the child. I kindly explained to her that while she may consider herself a parent, she could not have contributed biologically to the conception of the child as father, but that she vowed as sponsor to do all in her power to impart the Catholic faith to the child.
The best you could do under such circumstances. The baby wins. Thank you, Father. God bless you.
Amen to that! Some of these poor priests are put in such horrific situations by people who only care about themselves regardless of what harm it does to the innocent.
Finally, some sanity returning to the world. God bless, protect and guide Giogia Meloni.
Pope Francis just appointed one of his close pals, Abp. Victor Manuel Fernandez, of Argentina, to be the Prefect of the Dicastery of the Doctrine of the Faith. Abp. Fernandez is said to have been the ghostwriter for “Amoris Laetitia,” and also wrote a peculiar book entitled, “Heal Me With Your Mouth: The Art of Kissing.” From what I have read, translated from Spanish– Fernandez, like Pope Francis, doesn’t like the rules. Now I suppose everyone will run to Amazon to buy his famous “Kissing” book.
Too many weird things have been going on in this papacy. When Francis first became pope, a lady gave me a Pope Francis’s rose Rosary with the traditional Good Shepherd Cross on it where the Shepherd figure is not crossing his arms to hold on to the sheep’s legs. I told the lady I would pray for Pope Francis with it. Now Pope Francis and the same Rosary has a cross with a crossed-armed shepherd holding on to the lamb. Why the changed symbol? No shepherd could hold on to a sheep for very long, if at all, with crossed over arms, and the arms do not form an actual cross.
Anne TE, that is not significant.
My point was that this papacy seems to want to change everything. It seems to me that there is not a rule Pope Franics likes. I have lived through a lot of papacies but not through another one so confusing as this one.
This papacy is not confusing at all if you know the Gospel.
There are agitators online who say that the Pope said things that he did not say or that he meant something he did not mean.
Why don’t you ask for light from the Holy Spirit?
Pope Francis has changed nothing, really.
The only thing I can even think of is the capital punishment thing but he did not change that. St. Pope John Paul II did.
He is fulfilling St. Pope John Paul II’s vision of the Church for the 3rd millenium.
I follow my approved prayer books and catechisms and what is taught by faithful priests and bishops and try to ignore the rest. There seems to be no law in this land. Everyone is his or her own lawgiver like what happened with Israel in the Old Testament when it was disintegrating.
The term “faithful priests and bishops” concerns me.
yes the widespread disobedience regarding the TLM proves you correct Anne TE
An AI ChatGPT was employed to officiate a Colorado wedding, recently, in a historic church. Colorado does not require a licensed officiant for weddings. The bride and groom had a regular wedding, with all the trimmings, and many invited guests. The groom, a soldier, was soon to be sent on a military deployment, so the couple wanted a quick and easy wedding plan. I bet Prime Minister Meloni would be very skeptical of allowing such things in her country!
