Bump. Good for the Italians, standing up for the kids.
That sucking sound you hear is Justice O'Connor taking a big breath before reminding us once again that we have to bring our laws into line with european law -- this time to permit the desecration of holy matrimony.
What about the civil rights of adopted children? What about their right to a mother and a father?
Bump.
Italians are very good people in the main.
Just another case of the liberals not understanding the simple concept that THEY ARE NOT THE WORLD MAJORITY.
There are "Red State rednecks", as they call them, ALL over the world, and there are a lot more of us than there are of them.
overheard at Dem headquarters: "ugggh - how unenlightened!!! If only these backward yokels were as sophisticated as those in Europe... (what was that? these WERE Europeans??) but this... does .... not compute... Europeans are always right.... Radical Homosexuals are always right... warning warning... system overload"
I'm in Italy and I know this question. But, pay attention friends freepers. This poll is not so representative of the middle italian way of thinking (and voting...). Italians (left and right) are very liberal in general and I don't think that a referendum against gay-marriage could pass (not only because it need here more that 50% of voters to the poll). Besides, Italian Constitution states in the Art. 29, that: "The Republic recognises the rights of the family as a natural society founded on matrimony. Matrimony is based on the moral and legal equality of the spouses within the limits laid down by law to guarantee the unity of the family.". Theorically nobody could prevent a gay family (is it natural?), because we have not a second oreder low. This is not my opinion, it's only a contribution to the discussion. Thank to all!

Rome allowed liberals IN THE CHURCH free rein. They reap what they sow.
