ROME—Michela Leidi became a mother last summer when her wife gave birth to their daughter Giulia. The couple was swept up in the joyful, sleepless whirlwind of early parenthood.
This month, a local court ordered Ms. Leidi’s name to be erased from Giulia’s birth certificate on the grounds that her inclusion was “contrary to public order.” The ruling, which left the baby with only one legal parent, her biological mother, was a headline-generating surprise in Italy but is part of a growing trend of moves against same-sex parents by Italy’s courts and government.
“I cried all my tears,” said Ms. Leidi, a 38-year-old education worker from Bergamo in northern Italy. “I never missed a scan, from the moment she was conceived to the moment she was born. Yet it’s as though I don’t exist,” she said. She is now trying to adopt Giulia, a tortuous path in Italy.
Italian law doesn’t specify whether same-sex couples should both be recognized as parents. Parental recognition on birth certificates has largely been left up to mayors. Although decisions could vary locally, many same-sex parents have gained recognition since 2016, when Italy legalized gay civil unions.

“Now, the right-wing government of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is telling mayors they can no longer choose. In fact, it is pushing for non-biological gay parents to be retroactively struck from birth documents. Hundreds of families could be affected, gay-rights groups say.
The crackdown on birth certificates is part of a broader campaign against same-sex parenthood led by Ms. Meloni, who has frequently spoken out against what she calls “the LGBTQ lobby” and in defense of Christian family values.
Ms. Meloni comes from a far-right background but has worked hard to burnish her credentials as a mainstream conservative, pursuing establishment-friendly policies on economics and foreign affairs.
At the same time, her government has sought to keep its right-wing voters happy with hard-line stances on immigration, gay rights and national identity. Recently, her party colleagues have railed against the creeping use of English words in Italian, proposing fines for “Anglomania.””
“A far right background “ How is it you never see a “far leftist background?”
Hard to see how the EU Leadership in Brussels lets this stand.
The traditional family is sacred here so good luck to any whack job trying to "build" a family consisting of a tranny, a homosexual and a one-eyed chimpanzee here. The people here will never put up with such insanity. And if you mess with a child here, you will die. . .
bttt
Just wait until the poor child is discovered to have something wrong genetically, and they NEED THE ACTUAL FATHERs information
Hope it stays that way.
No country should allow gay marriage in the first place. Then you wouldn’t have this problem. You would still have illegitimacy, which is closer to the truth.
Any pride parades there?
