PERMANENT PRESIDIO AT THE SENATE:
Rome: From January 28th at 4:00 PM to January 30th at 2:00 PM, Piazza delle Cinque Lune
Through the demonstrations, the following appeal is made to the Government and Parliament:
“Italy is one of the few European countries that provides no legal recognition for same-sex couples. Gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people do not enjoy the same opportunities as other Italian citizens, even though they pay taxes like everyone else. This is unbearable discrimination, without justification.
Every parent's wish is for their children to grow up in a country where everyone has the same rights and duties.
We ask the Government and Parliament to face reality, to legislate as soon as possible to ensure that there is no more discrimination and to approve laws that recognize the full dignity and rights of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people, citizens of this country.
Mutual assistance in the event of illness, the ability to decide for a partner in the event of hospitalization or emergency medical intervention, the right to inherit a partner's assets, the ability to take over contracts, pension reversibility, the sharing of family obligations and rights, and full recognition of the rights of children born to two mothers or two fathers are just some of the rights currently denied.
Simple, practical issues that impact the lives of millions of people.
We are sure of one thing: Italians want equality for all.”
Associations promoting the appeal: Arcigay, ArciLesbica, Agedo, Famiglie Arcobaleno, Mit.
