While same-sex civil unions have been legal in the country since 2016, same-sex couples do not have the right to adopt, thanks in part to opposition from the Catholic Church. Surrogacy remains illegal in Italy and there are restrictions that prevent the adoption of “stepchildren” by one parent. Medically assisted reproduction, like in vitro fertilization (IVF), is only available to heterosexual couples.

    I kind of assumed, mistakenly, that other countries that aren’t the US were a bit more progressive than the US.

    But it seems like the issues that we’re plagued by exist everywhere?

    Fuck. We gotta fight.
