Pier Ferdinando Casini, when he speaks about marriage he should express his own political thought, instead of borrowing and repeating the lucubrations we already know from the mouths of popes, cardinals, bishops and priests.
Marriage is now recognized in the legal codes of many Western countries as the union of people who, regardless of gender, decide to share a life together and assume mutual rights and duties.
The exclusion of gays and lesbians from civil marriage is a form of discrimination that the Italian state must address as soon as possible.
The fact that Mario Monti, interviewed by Gianluca Semprini on SkyTg24, told us that the issue of gay rights is among the "least urgent from the point of view of the country's growth" confirms once again that a modern and secular vision of the country's future is not at home in the centrist coalition.
