21/12/16 – In Campomarino a gay couple has decided to take the big step and enter into a civil union.
The couple, Carlo, 50 years old, and Massimiliano, 45,They're getting married after 20 years of love. They met in a bar in Emilia Romagna and have lived in Campomarino since 2003, where they will remain after the wedding.
The couple is happy in the Molise town. Carlo told us: "“We have never kissed in public, but if you know how to behave and respect others you will be respected in the same way.“He and his partner, who moved from Emilia Romagna precisely because of this love, say they live well in the Molise coastal town and have never experienced acts of homophobia. For them, Campomarino is a town suited to the birth of rainbow families. 
The regional Arcigay is also pleased with this first civil union in Molise. The president Visco Light She said she was thrilled by this event and […] sends the couple her best wishes for a happy life together.
“Finally the wall of silence that separated us from civilization has been torn down. – he declared – pwhy finally two men have decided to crown their dream of love, after twenty years of bonding, celebrating the first civil union in Molise, thus taking a historic step that we at Arcigay hope will trigger a rainbow wave of unions. We hope this is a an example for many couples, who live their love in our region who still fear prejudice, experiencing the stigma first hand and thus deciding not to live their love in the light of day. We wish these two spouses to love each other madly until the end of their days and we are grateful becauseThey are breaking down the wall of silence that had been created in Molise, taking a historic step forward.. A fundamental step because our reality has an even greater opportunity to open up to these issues. With the birth of Arcigay Molise we have already seen that discrimination is decreasing and that people are finding the courage to come out, something that did not happen before the birth of Arcigay Molise.“.
