How do children of homosexuals live? Is it possible for two men to raise a child? Who is the co-mother? What are same-sex families? Do they exist in Italy?
“"Same-sex families are a reality in Italy," states Giuseppe Polizzi, President of Arcigay Pavia, "we're talking about more than 100,000 children born or raised in same-sex families who are victims of a scandalous lack of rights, as the law neither protects them nor recognizes their parents' dignity as family. This conference aims to expose how, once again, politics is failing to keep pace with the evolution of society.".
Universigay and Arcigay Pavia Coming Aut are pleased to invite you to the Aula del '400 on Thursday, May 9th. The conference will be structured as follows:
– 7 pm, screening of the documentary "THE WOLF IN SHORTS"; followed by a presentation by the two directors and screenwriters Nadia Dalle Vedove and Lucia Stano.
