Italy removes lesbian mothers from children’s birth certificates in continued crackdown on same-sex parents

admin, , , ,

Three children born to lesbian mothers in Italy have reportedly had their birth certificates altered to remove the name of one mother following the election of the country’s recently elected Prime Minister in October 2022. In March, a written statement was circulated demanding that town halls cease to register both parents in a same-sex couple, insisting only on the recognition of biological parents.  It is believed that some parents may also have to change the surnames of their children. Michela lives in Bergamo, Northern Italy, and was one of the…

Children born outside the UK to same-sex British parents left stateless by Home Office

admin, , , ,

Children born outside of the UK to British parents in same-sex relationships have been left stateless by the Home Office, according to The Guardian. The department has told British nationals and their EU partners that children born abroad to a British parent (who was also born outside of the country) are ineligible for citizenship. Some EU countries do not recognise same-sex partnerships and denied children citizenship on that basis. This leaves them stateless as neither country has issued documentation. Many same-sex parents have been left in an uncertain position and…

Same-sex couples can apply to adopt children in Croatia after historic court ruling

admin, , , ,

A historic ruling from Croatia’s High Administrative Court means that same-sex couples will be entitled to apply to adopt children. “Taking into account the position of the European Court of Human Rights, the Court states that a different treatment of persons in similar situations, based exclusively on their sexual orientation, represents a form of discrimination,” the 26 May ruling stated, according to Telegram.hr. It brings an end to the six-year-long legal battle of Mladen Kožić and Ivo Šegota, a gay couple who have been fighting to make this possible after…

Botswana appeals court upholds ruling decriminalising gay sex

admin, , , ,

An appeal against a ruling decriminalising gay sex in Bostwana has been rejected by the country’s Court of Appeal. The 2019 ruling was upheld on 29 November, something that resulted in the LGBTQ+ community hailing Botswana as a “true democracy”. During the appeal, the state attempted to argue that public opinion on homosexuality had not changed and that the penal code made same-sex intercourse illegal. The aforementioned penal code was drawn up under British rule and states that “carnal knowledge of any person against the order of nature” is forbidden,…
